Hammam Lif

Hammam Lif is a historic seaside thermal resort town on the Gulf of Tunis, just 20 km south of the Tunisian capital, where sulphurous springs have been exploited since ancient times in a setting that blends North African culture with a Mediterranean coastal character. The town, developed as a resort during the French Protectorate period with elegant villas and thermal establishments, was the fashionable thermal destination of Tunis' colonial-era bourgeoisie. Today Hammam Lif retains its historic bathing tradition alongside its beaches, making it a convenient and culturally rich thermal escape from the Tunis metropolitan area.
