Tunisia’s old medinas are living historic quarters, with labyrinths of narrow streets, souks, mosques, palaces and courtyards that reflect centuries of Arab, Amazigh (Berber, Ottoman, and Mediterranean influence. The Medina of Sousse, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a remarkably well-preserved 9th-century fortified coastal town. It boasts impressive ramparts, the iconic Ribat fortress, and a maze of narrow streets that seamlessly blend military architecture with lively souks. The Medina of Monastir centers around the renowned Ribat of Monastir, underscoring the city’s historic role as a strategic coastal stronghold. The Medina of Mahdia stretches along a narrow peninsula, with winding streets, artisan shops, and sea views from its ancient walls, nearby cliffside marine cemetery, and the ancient Punic harbor. The Medina of Sfax is fully enclosed by impressive 9th14th-century ramparts and is renowned for its Great Mosque and authentic everyday urban life. Hammamet's picturesque Old Medina is a whitewashed labyrinth of narrow alleys and ancient fortifications by the sea, with charming souks and panoramic Mediterranean views from its 15th-century walls. One of Islam’s holiest cities and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Kairouan’s Medina preserves a classic medieval Arab-Muslim urban layout, with winding streets, the monumental Great Mosque, and numerous other historic mosques. The Medina of Tunis, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the 7th8th centuries, contains over 700 historic monuments, including the iconic Zitouna Mosque, ornate palaces, and endless souks.

The colors of the buildings are lovely - white and blue, brown, sometimes black, green - and even the bustling bazaar has a neat order of colors amidst the chaos, showing the good taste of the people of this country. Flowers blooming in abundance in the maze-like streets make you feel like you want to live there.

Very impressive architecture. My entry to Tunisia (ferry Salerno-Tunis) was denied. They denied a lot of people, you really need organized trip. They require paid return or onward travel ticket, and they require reserved, booked and paid accomodation (hotel vouchers) for every day of stay.

Always fascinating to explore the Ancient parts of the World. You can explore India and Bhutan more, as it is quite a while that you've been here.
