With two terminal buildings, La Goulette Cruise Port can easily handle the operations of the cruise ships.
Covering an area of 6,500sq mtr, the Goulette Village Harbour resembles a medina with Tunisian architectural styling and comprises a central building with two wings alongside housing 10 shops selling local traditional clothing, watches and jewellery. There is an a la carte fish restaurant, some cafes and juice bar along with a hammam and health & beauty shops.
Through a joint venture with MSC Cruises S.A. ("MSC"), Global Ports Holding has started its operations of La Goulette Cruise Port as of May 2019.
La Goulette is located in a coastal area that includes the ruins of ancient Carthage and the picturesque suburb of Sidi Bou Said, places that attract more visitors than Tunis itself. As far as capital cities go, Tunis has an easy-going, unhurried air about it. Home to several UNESCO Heritage sites, the city is a masterpiece of historical and cultural art. With an area known as “La Petite Sicile” that was home to a sizeable Jewish, Italian, and Maltese community, the town has several remains of Hispano-Turkish fortifications and other cultural heritages, the city welcomes the tourists with a warm breeze.
