SIDI BOUSAID
Sidi Bou Siad is the abbreviation of the Muslim saint's name who lived here. His full
name was Abou Said ibn Khalef ibn Yahia Ettamini el Beji. This lovely blue and white
village is gaily perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Tunis and is perhaps the
most cherished in Tunisia. Upon arrival on the TGM train, we had to dodge the
workers refreshing all the Tunisian Blue paint at the railway station. Everything in this
town is about the whitewashed white of the buildings, Tunisian Blue trim and the
green of the foliage that embraces all the city.
UNE VOYAGE DANS L’HISTOIRE DE CARTHAGE
Originally a Phoenician trading town, Carthage was captured and destroyed by the
Romans in 146 BC following the Punic Wars. A century later, in 44 BC, Julius
Caesar established a Roman city there, which rose to prominence as one of the three
great ports of the Roman Mediterranean. With a population of about 300,000 in the
early 3rd century, Roman Carthage was second only to Rome in the western
empire.
Tunis Medina (Old Town)
The Tunis Medina (Old Town) is a fascinating place to learn more about this north
African city. The 9th century Medina was originally surrounded by walls. Today the
walls are gone, but the area is filled with narrow streets, souks, mosques, and historic
structures. The Tunis Medina became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
Cruise ships docked at La Goulette often include a tour of Tunis as a shore excursion
option. These tours include a walk around the Medina and one of the enclosed souks
(shopping areas). The city tours also will travel to the Bardo National Museum, which
has the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics. Tourists might also choose to
visit Sidi Bou Said, a small town near La Goulette and the remains of Carthage.
While in the Medina, we visited a Berber carpet shop in the souk, where we learned
more about the beautiful rugs made in Tunisia. We also climbed the stairs to the roof
of the shop, where the views of the Medina and Tunis were beautiful.
LE MUSEE DE BARDO
With its unparallel collection of mosaics, the Bardo Museum is sometimes likened to
the Louvre for its breadth and quality. Most of the mosaics were commissioned
between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD to adorn the sumptuous villas of wealthy
citizens throughout Tunisia. The rooms of the Bardo are named after the places from
which the mosaics were found - such as the Dougga Room, Bulla Regia Room, and
so on. Like the Louvre, trying to see and fully appreciate all the pieces can be
overwhelming if not impossible.
EXCURSION AGRAIRE A ZAGHOUAN
Zaghouan is situated 60km south of Tunis, at the foot of Zaghouan Mountain
(1295m). It was a roman city (Ziqua), that administrated one of the most important
water resources of Carthage and you still can see some remains from this period.
Apart from this roman remains I decided to visit this city mainly because I read that
the new village was built in andalusian style by spanish immigrants during the 17th
century. But it does not matter what made me go there, Zaghouan was a beautiful
surprise to me: the climbing narrow streets, the public fountains decorated with tiles,
the mountains and the biggest surprise, the water temple! At the end Zaghouan was
a great Sunday trip.
