Sakiet ez Zit
Soft sand, warm sea and beach bars that run until the stars come out.
Perched on the northern outskirts of Sfax, Sakiet ez Zit transitions from a bustling suburban hub into a serene coastal escape where the Mediterranean breeze carries the scent of salt and grilling sea bream. The shoreline here is defined by soft, pale sands and a collection of lively beach bars where the rhythm of Tunisian pop blends with the sound of low tide. As the summer sun dips, the terrace at El-Kantaoui becomes the go-to neighborhood spot for chilled glass of mint tea or a late-night bite. Wander away from the main drag to find groves of ancient olive trees that stand silver against the blue horizon. It is a place of tactile contrasts, from the heat of a fresh, spicy ojja to the cool evening air that lures locals out for starlit walks along the water’s edge.
