See more of Tunis on foot
Come along with us
on our marvelous walking tour to the medina of Tunis. We will take you through
the numerous alleys full of craft-shops, souvenirs, colors and scents to some
of the most important buildings the “Great Mosque” or “Zitouna Mosque” which
was built in the 19th century. While the mosque today serves mainly
as a house of prayers, it was also a house of higher learning until the 1950’s.
Dar-al-Bay or Bay’s Palace will be our next destination. You will be amazed by
the architecture and decoration which reflect many different styles and
periods. Finally, you will rest your feet in one of the most splendid cafés
inside the Medina: café “M’Rabet”. The interior has not changed for at least a
hundred years. It is a cool rescue when the summer heat makes walking in the
streets of the markets almost unbearable. The café is built over the tombs of 3
holy men, and the restaurant on top of the café is considered as one of the
most exclusive places in all of Tunis. If you visit it in the afternoon or
evening, expect belly-dancing or live music together with the food.
