Mahdia, a coastal city in Tunisia, offers a blend of history and relaxation. Explore the historic medina with its Skifa el Kahla gate, wander along the picturesque harbor, and relax on the beautiful beaches. Accessibility might be limited in the old medina due to narrow, uneven streets. Solo exploration is feasible and rewarding for independent travelers, while guided tours can provide deeper historical insights. The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) to avoid the intense summer heat and crowds. Expect to spend around $50-$150 per day, depending on your accommodation and activities. A typical visit duration is 2-3 days to experience the city's highlights.
