Enfidha
إنفيدة
One day is enough for Enfidha: a quick museum visit, the Uppenna ruins and a beach stop; stay overnight only if you need a rest before heading to Hammamet or Kairouan.
Enfidha is a small town on the A1 motorway in northern Tunisia, best known for the Uppenna archaeological site, a modest Christian‑mosaic museum, a World‑War‑II military cemetery and a quiet lagoon beach. All sights are within a 5‑km radius, so a half‑day to full‑day visit covers everything. Public transport is limited, so a car or taxi is the easiest way to get around.
