It happends something strange…Once I got to the airport, I had still some hundred box in my pocket and I though, ok, I will buy something in the airport, cigarettes or whatever else…
…I got to the shopping area and they accept only USD or EURO, nothing else, even not the local currency!!!!!
You can spend the local currency buying in the cafeteria…com’on I will not spend 100 Dollaz drinking coffees!!!
So, remember to change your money left before overtaking the custom, or simply spend them all, otherwise are just paper!!!! (clear, you can change it at home, but the exchange rate will be definitely
another!!!!) Leave a Comment

Not so long ago, here stood the monument to Habib Bourguiba, the first and longtime president of Tunis. Then the new sheriff came to the town and the monument was removed to a new location, but still in this avenue.
As I could noticed, there is a presidential system of governing in Tunis, it seems the president is very powerful man, almost like a medieval kings. Leave a Comment

 Monument to Habib Bourguiba by croisbeauty
As a president he was almost like a North African Ataturk. During his time the politics of Tunisia was a long time one of moderate, European-like solutions.
Under the present presidentship of Tunisia, the monumet was removed from its original position and today it is positioned in between Municipal Theatre and the Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul. Leave a Comment

Actually, I haven't seen much of the town, except for medina and Le Bardo district. It was a half day trip only and the main target was to visit the Bardo National Museum.
Avenue Habib Bourguiba is a fine example of how strong the French influence was in the architecture of the city. Everything you see around here remainds on Paris, except for the flags. Leave a Comment

It is named after Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourguiba. His policies made Tunisia one of the world's most moderate Arab nations. He was very important to women's rights and made polygamy against the law and gave women equal rights in divorce. He also did much for education,healthcare and agriculture. Leave a Comment

All ancient sites, mosques, museums and antiquities charge a photographic fee. The ticket for this has to be purchased when one buys the entrance ticket. For each camera a separate fee has to be paid. During my visit the fee was 1 Dinar. Leave a Comment

The medina of Tunis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The medina contains some 700 monuments, including palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas and fountains dating from the Almohads and the Hafsids periods.
These ancient buildings include:
-the Great Mosque (including the Muslim University and library)
- Aghlabid Ez-Zitouna Mosque ("Mosque of the Olive") built in 723 by Obeid Allah Ibn-al-Habhab to celebrate the new capital.
- the Dar-al-Bey, or Bey's Palace, is comprised of architecture and decoration from many different styles and periods and is believed to stand on the remains of a Roman theatre as well as the tenth century palace of Ziadib-Allah II al Aghlab.
