And while there was plenty of fun to be had at the seaside and in the ancient medina, I started to question why so many of the hotels were in a state of disrepair.

And as I dug deeper, I discovered the story of the tragic events that happened here and the scars this town still bears.

This is the story of Sousse’s ghost hotels.
