This picture shows a close-up on the top of the minaret of another mosque in Houmt Souk (sorry, I do not remind the name of this mosque). Traditionally, the "muezzin" called for the prier from the top of the minaret. Now, loud speakers, as can be seen clearly on this photo have replaced human voice alone !
Riding camels is one of the main attractions
in these places. Be aware that you must negotiate for the price of riding. I paid 5 TD (about 3 Euro) from 10 minutes ride for my daughter. But it was worth.She enjoyed it very much.
If you take a look at the picture you will see that my daughter was very afraid at the start. But then she didn't wan't to descend from the camel.
This picture was taken in the neighborhood of the Ghriba. It shows a man and a woman in traditional clothing. The traditional clothing is almost the same all over the island but the color of the fabric, the number, size and color of the stripes allow to identify to which village or community each individual belongs.
The La Ghriba ("Wonderworking") synagogue is the oldest one in the world, dating from around the time of the second temple in Jerusalem, but the present buildings are not older than cca. a century.
Legend about its foundation says, that the site was chosen when a "holy stone" ( a meteorite? ) fell from the sky here. It is believed that the inner sanctuary preserves the oldest Torahs scrolls.
But the community itself is also one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, dates its arrival after Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem.
The Synagogue can be visited by the non-Jews too, but they should take off their shoes, wear a head covering and leave a small gift on their visit.
In 2002 a sadly accident happened here, when a gas lorry crashed into the building, the explosion caused the death of twenty-one men, among them tourists'.
The potters do not only make potteries. They also make darboukha. A darboukha is a cylinder of earth ware open at both ends. One end is wider (enlarge the photo) and closed by a sheep's skin tightly arranged while the narrow end is open. There are percussion musical instruments. They are always painted with bright colors, like on the photo.
