-------------------------------
Sousse (Arabic Susa), 140 km south of Tunis, is situated on the east coast of Tunisia and is the most important junction for overland communications in Tunisia. The economical base for Sousse is transport equipment, processed food, olive oil, textiles and tourism.
Sousse is at less than two hours from the capital by road. The road leading to Sousse is more than just a transit route; it is a real itinerary of discovery, offering a succession of different and captivating landscapes that are the reflexion of the country's diversity itself: vineyards of Grombalia, orchards of Hammamet, farming land and olive groves of the Sahel. This part of the littoral stretches from the southern gulf of Hammamet to the confines of the town of Mahdia, with the sea and its succession of seaside resorts reminding of the brilliant success of the tourist industry in Tunisia.
In the 11th century B.C., the Phoenicians, astute traders who were on their way to becoming Carthaginians, sensed the possibilities of a port city south of present-day Tunis and founded Hadrumetum. The city allied itself with Rome during the Punic Wars, thereby escaping damage or ruin and entered a relatively peaceful 700-year stint under Pax Romana. Livy tells us that Hadrumentum was the landing place of the Roman army under Scipio Africanus in the first Punic War.
