Worth a visit if you are in Yasmine Hammamet as it has been built very beautifully. Very pristine compared to other Medina’s in Tunisia which is probably because it lacks authenticity. There are several shops and places to eat and drink here with fairly reasonable prices.

A very nice place to visit. It resembles the Tunisian heritage. Has a lot of stores that sell hand made Tunisian arts. It is also a great place to take photos
There is a parking lot in front of the entrance also

Well, it's definitely a campy touristy attraction. Nothing but shops and vendors chasing you. But...it is very pretty. Lots of interesting art, sculptures, painting, novel and colorful. Makes for great pictures. Further, unlike a "real" medina, the streets are smooth and flat, so no risk of breaking ankles, tripping, falling, head crashing into some hanging thing, or getting run over by car, bikes, carts, donkeys, horses or whatever else moves in real markets (and there's lots going on). That's very nice. Background calm music, clear sky above, interesting shops (with desperate on-commission vendors). So, ignore the trashiness of it all, enjoy it for what it is.

The area around it all tourist stuff, silly amusement parks for kids, giant gorilla, roller coaster usual Disney-land stuff. If you have kids, great.

Off season, there's NOBODY there. It's deserted, almost. It's sad and lonely actually. Even vendors are bored and mostly leave you alone.

WC is awful, hard to find, most are broken and leaking, no paper, no hot water, no soap... but at least it works. Still, for a "major" tourist attraction, that's not very impressive.

Would I come again? No way. Would I recommend anybody visit? Yes, it's odd, clean, pretty...put up with the touts and vendor harassment. Only takes 30mins to see most/all of it.

Preferred this to the medina in Hammamet although the whole place looked fairly new but obviously styled on a traditional medina seemed a lot cleaner than the madina in Hammamet and far less mosquitos also seemed to have more shops and better prices be prepared to haggle if you don't like the idea of that stick to the fixed price shops
A good place to visit if you are nearby. There aren't as many shops as a real Medina, you can see this one was made for tourists, although locals also enjoy it. Most shops have fixed prices and it's a great place to buy some souvenirs and relax in some of the coffee shops.

Really really pretty place. However. Beware of scams. A man claiming to work at your hotel shows you to a “government shop” where everything is “half price”. They give you drinks and throw items in a shopping bag then tell you a ridiculous price that they will not negotiate. He told us “I have never seen people like you”. Don’t let this put you off the place is beautiful and worth a visit.

What a fantastic and chic place ! one of the best medina’s I’ve ever visited :) we see the mixture of modern and authentic buildings surrounded by art and well designed architecture.
My mind is blown by the Colors and the awesome vibes of these streets.
as a local tunisian living abroad I felt so nostalgic to this place and definitely I’ll come again !
lots of activities to do, coffees with nice view, and also you can get lots of souvenirs from this place !
