day 11: sousse

Final day for shopping. But first, Port El Kantoui – the sparkling marina resort that's gonna steal your heart! Imagine glazing waters, luxe yachts, and palm-lined promenades. This purpose-built resort near Sousse is all about chill vibes and posh hotels. After dinner, head back to Sousse for your final shopping spree! You can fill those empty spaces in your bags with gorgeous Tunisian goodies that'll fly off the shelves back home! 

Think vibrant fabrics and textiles like silk scarves, traditional jellabas, and colorful fabrics perfect for resale – the ladies'll love 'em! Also, don't miss the hammams – traditional Tunisian spa’s where you can unwind and get scrubbed to perfection. Some shops sell gorgeous hammam accessories like scrub mitts, oils, and soaps, great for gifts or resale. Add to that intricately designed ceramics and pottery, beautiful leather goods like bags and wallets, and stunning gold and silver jewelry. You can buy local spices and delicacies like za'atar, harissa, and dates – perfect for adding a taste of Tunisia to your sales pitch. Haggle like a local! It's all part of the fun, and you'll score some amazing deals. 

Take your ware back to the hotel, enjoy last bit of beach and sun before having your last dinner together. After dinner, hit a spot with live music or a chill vibe – maybe somewhere with traditional Tunisian tunes, or a spot serving up refreshing Tunisian wine. Dance, laugh, and toast to an epic trip, sharing stories, and feeling grateful for the memories made.
