(20 Ratings)

The Marseille-Zarzis ferry route is a relatively new and important development in strengthening trade and tourism links between France and Tunisia. The Marseille-Zarzis route continues a very strong and well-established maritime connection between the two great nations that dates back to the Phoenician and Roman eras.

Marseille, a major Mediterranean port, has long served as a gateway for trade and cultural exchange between Europe and North Africa. This ferry service to the relatively small port of Zarzis (compared to Tunis) not only improves travel convenience but also promotes economic growth by facilitating the movement of goods, passengers and tourists.

Zarzis, located in southern Tunisia, is a key hub for trade, particularly for agricultural products, seafood and handicrafts.

Connecting these two strategic ports, Marseille and Zarzis, by ferry boosts bilateral trade, providing a faster and more efficient transport option for businesses and passengers.

The Marseille to Zarzis ferry route is generally a cheaper alternative for travellers wishing to travel to Tunisia, where they can explore Tunisia's rich history, bustling markets and beautiful beaches.

Although less frequent than the Marseille to Tunis ferry route, Zarzis is a very good alternative ferry route for the more cost-conscious passenger wishing to travel to Tunisia.
