Tunisia - Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia

Displayed:   times.

Sidi Bou Said is lovely blue and white village. It's gaily perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Tunis. It is perhaps the most cherished in Tunisia. Following the cobblestone streets winding upwards, visitors will catch glimpses of the emerald sea with the mountain of Bou Kornine and the southern beaches of Tunis across the Bay. Sit and sip a green tea with mint at the "Café des Nattes" or continue upwards to the "lighthouse" and the fabulous view from "Sidi Chebaane" café. During the warm summer evenings concerts of traditional Tunisian music, malouf, attract visitors and Tunisians alike. The former palace of Baron d'Erlanger has been converted into a museum and visitors can marvel at the princely splendor of this Arabian Nights "Palace of the Star of Venus". Small shops offer antiques,Tunisian handicrafts, lovely silver jewelry and the art gallery exhibits works of both Tunisian and international artists.
