Take some time off from your busy schedule of jeep safaris, museums and archaeological sites. Today is dedicated to shopping around Tunisia's capital city, Tunis, looking for the perfect traditional souvenir to take home - as a remembrance of your stay in this land of colours and contrasts.
Following your morning departure from the hotel, you will visit Tunis. Apart from strolling around these streets, where history and contemporary life seem to interact in a seamless blend, you will also visit the city's ancient Medina. Here the shopping spree starts.
Give particular notice to the location of the shops relative to the mosque. In historic times, and persisting to this day, the proximity of the shop to the mosque describes the importance of the trade. As you will see perfurmes and crafts are closer to the mosque than other, more mundane, products.
