Sfax, Tunisia

Displayed:   times.

Tunisia's second-largest city is festooned with old walls and arched gates which are a nice introduction to the medina. The casbah has a museum of architecture, and the view from atop the walls is worth the effort to climb up them. Dar Jellouli is a lovely 17th-century villa with displays of decorative arts and traditions. Sfax's Great Mosque has a three-tier square minaret like the one at Kairouan (non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the mosque). Between sights, shop your way through the souks (markets).

Ferries connect Sfax with the Kerkennah Islands. The chain is made up of several small islands and two large ones, Gharbi and Chargui. Roman ruins, vineyards, fig and palm trees, beaches and fishing characterise the area - a good place to relax. More info on: wired-destinations.com
