by Oana_bic The small centre of La Marsa is packed with young Tunisians in weekends, and it is quite charming, but honestly, there is little to see. As for the beach, just cross the bridge, and go down for the beginning of the beach. This section is far less visited, but walking through the sand to the chic parts, is quicker than walking the streets. Many Tunisian families escaping the summer heat of Tunis, end up in a street 5-6 kilometres away from both the beach and the small centre of La Marsa. The prices of the best houses in La Marsa are quite insane, and even hiring could be quite expensive... Leave a Comment

La Marsa is a northern sea side suburbs of Tunis, number one place for the higher middle class, when they go for a chic summer address. The reason for this is easy to understand when you're down on the beach, looking up at all the nice white houses that lie among the green trees of the soft ridge running parallel to the wide beach.

On the last morning of our trip we had a few hours left to explore Tunis before flying home so, as we had already seen much of the medina and the Ville Nouvelle, we decided to explore the Halfaouine area, which is in the streets north of the medina. Place Halfaouine is the main square of the district and there is a beautiful mosque, Youssef Sahib et Tabaa, at one end of the square with definite Italian influences in its design. We also walked through a lively market on Rue Halfaouine to get to the square. This market is geared towards locals though we picked up a cheap pack of dates for about 1 Euro. I saw the same packet in Tunis airport later for more than 6 times the price. Leave a Comment

It cost me a few dinars to enter in this abandoned religious school, which is situated somwhere in medina. You never know weather the guy in front, who is asking you to pay the entrance, work here or he just took his chances to earn some extra money. Leave a Comment

 Hotel du Lac by barryg23 Said to have inspired the sand crawler in Star Wars, Hotel du Lac certainly stands out and catches the eye. It's located at the eastern end of the Ville Nouvelle near the Lake. We didn't visit the hotel but we walked past a number of times when exploring the Ville Nouvelle. Leave a Comment

 The Antonine Baths by chrissyalex Visit Carthage and see the Roman Ruins. Carthage was the Capital of Roman Africa and the empire's second city after Rome . Some important places to see here are the Antonine Baths,Byrsa Hill, and the RomanVillas. To get there take the TGM train from Tunis and get off at the Carthage- Hannibal station. Leave a Comment

Away from Avenue Bourguiba the Ville Nouvelle becomes very different. The streets are less grand, there are fewer hotels and restaurants and many of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. We walked around the streets north of Bourguiba one evening and the most interesting buildings we came across were the old French colonial houses which look like they were built in the early 20th century.

 Tunisia, Tunis, Sidi Abdessalem Fountain by Childish known as Bab Sidi Abdessalem or Sabil Sidi Abdessalem; sabil means public fountain. It was built during the Hamouda Pasha era, in 1804, probably at the initiative of Youssef Sahib at-Tabaâ and was used by locals for water supply. It was mentioned in a poem by Sheikh Ibrahim Riahi. Location: near the gate of Sidi Abdessalem Leave a Comment

by maxovna Have a look at a very beautiful Christian church San Souis situated near Carthage. It was built in honour of a person whose name was Louis and who came to Tunis with a strong army to baptise this area. He had to stand up to plenty of hardships, and in the end he died of typhoid fever and was canonized. Leave a Comment
