Tour description

 🕌 “Secrets of the Medina – A Journey Through the Heart of Tunis” 🧭 


Step into the labyrinth of the Medina of Tunis, where every narrow alley hides a story and every archway echoes with centuries of history. Join me on a journey where the past is alive, the colors are vibrant, and the scent of spices fills the air. This isn’t just a tour — it’s a time-traveling experience into the soul of Tunisia. 

We begin at Bab El Bhar (the Sea Gate), the symbolic entrance to the old city. From there, we dive into the maze of winding streets and hidden gems:

✨ The majestic Zitouna Mosque, the spiritual heart of the Medina

🧵 Traditional souks (markets) where artisans still craft perfumes, leather, copper, and textiles by hand
 
📚 Stories of scholars, sultans, revolutionaries, and everyday Tunisians that bring these walls to life 

We’ll finish near the Kasbah Square, where old meets new and you’ll have a perfect view to reflect on the journey — or continue exploring on your own with my personal recommendations for food, tea, and local crafts. 

Why is this tour different? Because I’m not just showing you places — I’m sharing memories, mysteries, and moments that you won’t find in a guidebook. My passion is helping travelers feel the magic of the Medina as locals do. 


🏛️ Option 2: Sidi Bou Saïd – The Jewel of the Coast


Step into the iconic village of Sidi Bou Saïd, perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. Its blue-and-white architecture, charming streets, and seaside views make it one of Tunisia’s most picturesque spots.


Highlights include:

✨ The famous viewpoint of the bay and marina

🍪 Local cafés where you can try traditional sweets and mint tea

🎨 Art galleries and artisan shops showcasing Tunisian creativity


This tour is perfect for those who love photography, architecture, and relaxed seaside strolls.


🌟 Option 3: Combined Experience – Medina & Sidi Bou Saïd


Can’t choose? Enjoy the best of both worlds! Begin with the vibrant streets of the Medina, then travel to the coastal charm of Sidi Bou Saïd. You’ll get culture, history, and scenic views all in one unforgettable day.
