Archeological Museum
ARCHEOLOGICAL MUSEUM is next to the Skifa on Place de l'Independence and full of archeological finds such as mosaics and statues from El Jem (an almost intact Roman colosseum just south of Mahdia), an (inevitable) collection of oil lamps and examples of Islamic art, dowry chests and calligraphy. Labels are in Arabic and French. The museum is closed on Mondays.

Hotel Jazira
The hotel is a kind of Bed&Breakfast, runned by a family, they may have 5 to 8 rooms or so. The house has a roof top (breakfast) restaurant. Book in highseason!!! (Have a look to my Tunesia report)
They are member of SIT – Societe Immobiliere et Touristique.
The next tourist complex (large hotel) is about 1 km away, and package tourists only around during the day, because of their free diner bufet at the hotel and the distance to back.
Mahdia, old town, is a pleasant stay, with a lot of small cafe and restaurants around, good to spend a couple of days. You can easily access the cities as Monastir (next intl. Airport) and Sousse (train to Tunis) by a scheduled running metro train.
