Accomodation & Venue

The fifth conference on Medicinal Plants and Materials - MPM 2024, will be held at Rosa Beach Hotel, located in the east of Tunisia, between Sousse and Monastir and directly on the shore of the blue sea on a beautiful white sand beach, considered the most beautiful of the whole region of the Sahel. Welcoming participants, distribution of documents and check in will start on Thursday 09 May 2024 from 14:30. Check out will be on Sunday 12 April 2024 after lunch.

Monastir in a few words
The Rosa Beach Hotel, situated on a stunning beach near Monastir International Airport, is a stunning hotel in the region. The hotel is strategically located between the city of Monastir, known for its Ribat and medina, and the city of Sousse, known for its nightlife and cultural attractions. Monastir, located 160 km south of Tunis, is a beautiful seaside resort with vast stretches of sand and rocks. The city has a rich history, having been occupied by various dynasties, including the Phenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Spaniards, and Ottoman Turks. The city's Ribat, designed in 796, is a fortress made from a superposition of fortified buildings. Visitors can explore the medina, which features famous old doors like Bab el Gharbi, Bab Tunis, and Bab Brichka. The Sahel region, between the coast and interior, is rich in Tunisian heritage, including archaeological sites like Lamta and El Jem, and its famous coliseum hosting an international classical music festival. Monastir is easily connected to the surrounding area, particularly Sousse, via buses, rental cars, cabs, and the metro.
