About Renting a Car at Mahdia Center

Mahdia is a charming port town on Tunisia's east coast, known for its medieval medina and beautiful beaches. With a rental car from the city center, you can easily explore the coastline and surrounding olive groves at your own pace. Mahdia's historic fortress gate Skifa el-Kahla is located in the center, and the beaches north of the city are accessible in 5–10 minutes' drive.

Drive south 25 km to El Jem to visit one of the world's best-preserved Roman amphitheaters – a day trip that few tourists in Mahdia take advantage of. Parking in Mahdia city center is limited – pick up the car early in the morning and park it outside the medina core at the harbor.
