I love visiting commercial shops as well and see what people are buying and whats for sale, also comparing prices even for silly stuff like colgate toothpaste is cheaper etc!, but generally its a good place to buy diet coke while i am walking or travelling around.
also i love music and learnt a lot about music from my time and friendships in Morocco - Rai, the egyptian celebrities such as Nancy!- algerian stars such as Hasni etc, so supermarkets are often a good place to have your own space to look through whats an offer.
I was amazed international artists such as the Black eyed peas, Tracey Chapmans latest Greatest Hits etc were only £1.25 each!! and Nancy's CD too. so i got some more good deals.
music, chichoua (or 'Fez' hats - a dying trade but alive in the Chichoua souk of Tunis, watch them being made and buy it), carpets, babouches and pretty slippers, stuffed camels, shisha tobacco - about 50p a packet, shishas are not a bad price too,
mosaic kits at the Bardo museum, lovely cotton blouses and kaftans.
lovely woollen tops and kaftans traditionally worn on the island of Jerba.
international and locally listened to music from algeria and egypt are only £1.25 each! and yes they are the professionally made real thing. Leave a Comment Theme: MusicDirections: walk around, or check out maps in your lonely planet guide book.

 the entrance to the Souks by chrissyalex
Many.many beautiful things! Shoes, Jewelery,interesting clothing,bellydance costumes, tea sets,"hubbly bubbly" pipes, perfume,handicrafts and on and on and on....I wanted to buy quite a bit, but unfortunately did not buy anything there, because I was quite intimidated....I did buy some things at other places though...Please see my "tourist trap" tip for some scams
haggle,haggle,haggle! offer no more than half of what they tell you! I am not kidding! For example a keychain that I looked at at the souks that the guy wanted 5TD for was for sale at the bardo Museum for 2 TD and also for sale at a kiosk on the a main street for only 1 TD Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Located in the Medina

 Typical shop in Tunis
Medina by barryg23
It seemed to me that many of the shops were selling the same old produce. Sometimes you might see five shops in a row all selling the same old things. Or not selling might be more appropriate as none of the shops were very busy when we were there. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If you're looking for a cheap, good-value and delicious lunch try the market in the Ville Nouvelle. It's not a place for a sit-down meal, but somewhere to buy delicious and cheap supplies for a picnic. The market is housed in a large square between rue d'Allemagne and rue d'Espagne and you can buy pretty much anything you want.
We came here in the morning before our day-trip to Carthage and El Jem to stock up for a picnic. The meat didn't look too good as refrigeration was limited but the Berber brea, olives and cheese displays were mouth watering. Prices were excellent too. We spent about 2 Dinar on a bag of olives, grated cheese, a white local cheese, Berber bread, Berber pancakes, and baguettes. The guys running the stalls were very friendly and insisted we taste anything we were unsure of. We also had the mad idea of spreading harissa on the baguettes though luckily we were talked out of it as it would have been way too spicy! Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

There is a branch of the French supermarket chain Monoprix on rue Charles de Gaulle in the Ville Nouvelle. This is very convenient for stocking up on provisions though for fresh food like bread and fruit you are better of going to the central market further down the same street. The Monoprix is open daily until 9pm every night. It's one of the easiest places to buy alcohol in Tunis which was particularly useful for us as we wanted to being back some bottles of Tunisian wine with us. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

In a way is pretty stressed and a lot of shops could be also considering a tourist trap as the stuff they are selling are just bullsh**
But in general here you can find a lot of nice stuff to bring home as a memory, i.e. Aghile, ceramics, candels, silk, textile in general, jewels and so on…but remember BARGAIN!!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: @ the medina

it,s not a shoop. At the plazaon open air
desert rouses at nefta, camel leader figures of womens, ceramicat isle de jerba, handmade carpets in kairouan.tunisian oil and datils. spices, henna, etc at gabes.
you are expected to bargain. So say a price lower than you think it is. then the salesman will say double than this and then is your turn and so on. I bought a travelguide from tunis in at five stars hotel?s shop and I pay 13 dinars, then my friends get it for just 3 dinars, so take care, not only bargain at markets but everywhear?
