The International Festival of Sousse brings life every summer to the "Pearl of the Sahel" with a varied programme of concerts, shows and cultural events. This historic festival is a pillar of the Tunisian Sahel's cultural scene.

The festival takes place in the heart of Sousse, a major tourist city in Tunisia, offering evenings of Arab music, variety shows and popular entertainment. The festive atmosphere of the seaside city amplifies the audience experience.

Sousse, with its UNESCO-listed medina and fine sandy beaches, provides an ideal setting for a summer festival celebrating the Tunisian joy of life.
