Medina of Tunis

The medinas are the heart of the Arab cities. They sleep, eat, and socialize here. On this trip I visited Tunis's medina and also the capital of Sousse, further south. While it was the first place I wanted to visit, most of the tourists came here as well. The souks also sell lots of souvenirs and are very traditional.

Fun shopping and haggling in Tunisia. Very macho Tunisians, in some places you only see men. Ah! They closed the highway and we could not go on because the president was coming.
