Family Vacation in Hammamet, Tunisia

Friguia is the only animal park of its kind in North Africa. This is the perfect place to amaze your children with the sight of some incredible species they might not see again. In total, there are over 400 resident animals and 60 species and the park has animals from every continent. Kids will be wowed as they walk above the big cat enclosure - home to the lions and cheetahs, and they can gaze all the way up to the sky towards the giraffes. The aim of the park is to promote and preserve the animal species by favoring the development of those that are the most endangered. In collaboration with the Zoological Garden of Paris and the Tunisian Forestry Commission, Friguia Park works hard to repopulate decimated animal species in order to reintroduce them into their natural habitat.

Imagine how excited your children would be if they could have a chance to swim with dolphins. At Friguia Park this can become a reality. After the captivating dolphin show you can get up close and personal in the water with these curious and fun-loving creatures, leaving the kids with a magical memory. Make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment!

This is the one-stop shop for all fast-paced water slides and attractions.

With an average audience of 800 visitors per day, it offers a variety of attractions catered to meet the expectations of Tunisians and tourists alike. The park consists of 5 main attractions, each with its own level of thrill and intensity. Young children can splash around in the Kids Pool with an aquatic playground equipped with a tubular slide, while the older ones (and parents too) can head to the Body Slider and descend down the fast-paced 11-meter-high water slide. Whichever ride you choose to go to, take the plunge and join your family out on the thrilling waves!

Hammamet is full of cultural delights, such as the winter residence of George Sebastian Villa, and the Great Mosque, the religious center of the city - make sure to walk by as the sun sets to see the illuminated sky against the backdrop of the mosque. Take a day trip to the ancient city of Monastir, just an hour and 30 minutes drive away - located on the central coast of Tunisia, it was once a bustling fishing port, but today is a major tourist hub with many flocking to see the Ribat of Monastir. This towering defense structure is the oldest ribat to have been built by Arab conquerors during the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, and with that, the most prominent monument in Monastir. No matter which activities you choose for your family, you will not be disappointed as Hammamet really does have something for all ages. There are many things to do and new experiences to have whilst visiting this Tunisian gem!
