When in the early 2000s the question arose of building the country's largest air harbor in the north-east of the country, it was decided to erect it at an equal distance from the main resorts of this region - Hammamet, Suss and Cape Bon. The name of the airport was received from the nearby town of Enfid, from which it is separated by several kilometers. This hub is located next to the railway line connecting Monastir, Sousse and Hammamet. So all these resorts can be reached by train directly from the airport. The first team is already leaving at 4:40. Intervals between trains make an hour and a half. Since Monastir has its own hub, which often receives passengers traveling to Sousse, Tunisia's largest air gate is often called "Hammamet-Anfida Airport", although officially it has a different name - International Airport Enfidha Ammame.
