Louage from Tunis to Hammamet: Fares, Station & Tips

1 October 2026 · 4 min read · Travel Info

The louage from Tunis to Hammamet is one of the fastest and most straightforward routes from the capital. It covers roughly 65 kilometres in 1 hour to 1h15, at a fraction of the cost of a private taxi or rental car. For travellers heading to Hammamet’s beaches, medina, or the resort area of Yasmine Hammamet, this is the standard local option.

Getting to the right station

All louages from Tunis to Hammamet depart from Bab Alioua station, the Cap Bon terminal. It is located in central-southern Tunis, reachable by taxi (4-6 TND from the medina area) or by local public transport. Bab Alioua serves all Cap Bon peninsula destinations: Hammamet, Nabeul, Kelibia, and Zaghouan.

Do not go to Moncef Bey (the southern terminal for Sousse, Kairouan, and Sfax) or Bab Saadoun (the northern terminal for Bizerte and Jendouba). Arriving at the wrong station adds an unnecessary cross-town taxi ride. Check your station before leaving your accommodation.

Fares and payment

The standard fare from Tunis to Hammamet is 7–9 TND per seat as of 2026. Cash only - there is no card reader and no online booking. Have small notes ready. Fares are posted at the station booth; if you pay the driver directly, confirm the amount matches what other passengers are paying.

For Nabeul the departure station is identical (Bab Alioua) and the fare is similar (8-10 TND). For Yasmine Hammamet, the louage drops you at the main Hammamet station and you take a local taxi (5-8 TND) to the hotel zone.

Waiting times and best times to travel

The Tunis–Hammamet route runs throughout the day, with vehicles filling quickly in the morning. On a weekday between 7am and 11am, expect to board within 10-20 minutes of arriving. Services thin out in the early afternoon; the last departure is typically before 6pm.

In peak summer (July–August), demand is higher. Travelling before 10am gives you the quickest departure and a cooler ride.

The journey

The louage takes the main road toward the Cap Bon peninsula, skirting the Gulf of Tunis before reaching Hammamet’s coastal strip. No fixed intermediate stops. Typical journey time is 1 hour to 1h15 depending on traffic leaving Tunis.

You are dropped at or near Hammamet’s louage and bus station on the town’s outskirts. The medina and main beach area are a short taxi ride away.

Arriving in Hammamet

Hammamet’s station is a hub for onward connections along the Cap Bon. From here you can pick up a second louage to Nabeul (around 4-5 TND, 20-30 minutes) or continue further to Kelibia (8-10 TND, around 1 hour).
