Quiet resort village on the southern coastline of the peninsula of Cap Bon, Korba is, so to speak, "village-hotel" .The tourist life of the town is reduced to a single hotel, although of impressive size, outside of which there are a few houses of local residents, a couple of streets, the market and food stores .In such an unexpected combination of civilization and authenticity, there is an undeniable charm: everything here revolves around tourists, and there are not too many of them - only the guests of this hotel .The other side of the medal - there is absolutely no entertainment outside the hotel, to the nearest restaurants and discos at least 10 km by taxi .

How to get to Korba
Given the specificity of the locality, most of Korba's guests arrive here as part of an organized transfer directly from the airport. The village is also visited during a guided tour of Cap Bon, but, as a rule, tourists do not leave the bus, limiting themselves to contemplating the scenery outside the window.
Independently to get to Korba (at least in order to watch the flamingos or sunbathe on a secluded and very clean beach in the lagoon) you can go from Nabel and Hammamet (and also Yasmin-Hammamet). From Nabeul, there are municipal buses and minibuses. Travel time is about half an hour, the cost is just over 1 TND. The road by taxi will cost about 8-10 TND.
To get to Korba from Hammamet, you must first get to Nabeul (by bus or taxi, 1, 5 TND and about 8 TND, respectively), then do the above.

Beaches of Korba
Excellent clean beaches with a gentle descent into the water and a wide coastline are the main advantages of Korba resort.
Hotel Africa Jade has a wonderful strip of the beach, the undoubted advantage of which is the absence of strangers: there are no other hotels in the village in principle, and residential quarters are in the distance and the local people do not reach it. Such a location will be appreciated by lovers of secluded bathing - it's enough to walk a couple of hundred meters from the hotel beach, and you can take sun and sea baths in blessed solitude. However, umbrellas and sunbeds will not be there, so it's worth to properly cover the body with sunscreen.
