Founded by the Berbers in the 2nd millennium BCE, the city of Tunis has been controlled by Phoenicians, Romans, Arab Muslims, the Ottomans, the Spanish, the French and the Germans, finally achieving independence as the capital of Tunisia in 1956. This history has made Tunis a mélange of ancient and modern cultures. The medina is a network of narrow alleyways, mosques, mausoleums, palaces and a souq where shoppers haggle over the price of everything from filigreed gold to inexpensive souvenirs.

The city’s old quarter hearkens back to the opulence once prevalent from the 12th to the 16th century.
This was truly an Amazing place. So much to witness and experience in one place. You see narrow streets, mosques, historic buildings, vendors with food, jewelry, carpets and much more. You can go to the rooftop and view lots of the area. Highly recommend.

Being on this avenue on a Sunday evening in October gave us one of this trip's highlights. The results of the presidential run-off had just been announced and thousands came here to celebrate. Very special to happen to be here at that time.
