Al Mahdiyah city is the capital of Mahdia Governorate. It is located On the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, 200 km south of Tunis, 60 km south-east of Sousse, on a narrow peninsula jutting out into the Mediterranean. Mahdia has a very wonderful natural setting and amazing charm. It is one of the costal towns that has an old mysterious atmosphere, without being crowded with many of the modern ... tourism architecture. The city is one of the best places to slow down and relax while enjoying the wonderful views of the glimmering Mediterranean. Along the northern coast, there is a large and well-developed touristique area (Zone Touristique). The city's main activities are fish-processing industry and weaving. The market day in the city is Friday.
Transportation to and from the city includes train, bus and louage services. Train transport runs to Monastir and Sousse from (ave Farhat Hached) train station located just west of the port (about 16 trains daily) and to Tunis (once daily). Bus and louage service run to Sousse and El-Jem, available from the bus station located 1km southwest of the train station. Louage service also runs to Monastir, Sfax and Tunis as well.
There are many places where you can eat including cafes and restaurants in mini-malls as well as the many shops in Zone Touristique. The best restaurant in the city center is perhaps the one in Hotel le Phenix. Restaurants in the city offer Grilled seafood, Couscous and Calamari. If you want to buy food stuff, the best place to buy from is the produce section of the market building, or you can also shop from the only supermarket there, (ave Habib Bourguiba) about 400m west of the Skifa el-Kahla.
The best places located on the coast where you can sit and enjoy a drink can be found in the shady place du Caire, in spite of the limited selection of pastries they offer for breakfast. The best place on the north side is perhaps the large Café el-Coucha, where you can have also break¬fast and croissants. On the south side, Cafe Sidi Salem is such an attractive place to sit in, over¬looking the Mediterranean, where you can have a drink or eat breakfast.Fatimid Fortifications Along the shoreline from the Great Mosque all the way to Cap D'Afrique stand the remains of the Fatimid Fortification as a sign for the great history of El Mahdeya City. There are only few remains of the huge fort that was once surrounding the whole city to protect it from any military attack from the sea. The only remaining parts are some crumbling pillars that were once standing next to the entrance of the harbor. In Borj El Kabir, there is an artistic representation of the old Fatimid Fortification of El Mahdeya before its destruction.
