Sidi Chabaane Café

The Sidi Chabaane Café is in the street of the same name (Calle Sidi Chabaane) and probably one could say that the second most important coffee is in the Tunisian town of Sidi Bou Said, after the famous Café des Nattes, also known as Café de las Esteras. Like all Tunisian cafes it is very quiet and people gather - our guide told us that many men play any of the typical local games such as dominoes or chkoba. It is also typical to smoke a water pipe with different flavors of snuff, nicotine is cleaned by passing through the water, and supposedly it is much healthier, it is usually called hookah.
