Midoun Mosques

Midoun Mosques, Midoun

 barryg23 Says:  We passed a couple of attractive mosques in Midoun but none were open at the time. In any case, we probably wouldn't have been allowed visit as most mosques on the island are off-limits to non muslims. 

Town Hall

Town Hall, Midoun

 barryg23 Says:  Midoun's Town Hall, with its white walls and blue doors and shutters, has a similar design to many buildings in Jerba. The buildings are painted a strong white in order to deflect the strong sun. 

Olive Pressing

Olive Pressing, Midoun

 barryg23 Says:  Olives and olive oil are very popular in Jerba (At every restaurant where we ate in Jerba we were served olives as an appetiser and they featured often on our starters and main courses as well) and you can learn about the traditional manufacture of olive oil at the olive...

Restaurants  

Restaurant HANIBAL: Good value meal

Restaurant HANIBAL: Good value meal, Midoun

 Kevin-UK Says:  We asked the taxi driver to take us from Aghir to Midoun (6km), to a restaurant. On the way through the town of Midoun he pointed out a "chic" place, as he put it, then he dropped us at this "normal" one. The menu was limited, and even some of menu was not available, but... 

Les Delices D'Ulysee: Best cafe in Midoun

Les Delices D'Ulysee: Best cafe in Midoun, Midoun

 barryg23 Says:  Les Delices D'Ulysee is a nice cafe/restaurant in Midoun. After a walk around the town we returned here for a coffee and mint tea. It was different to most Tunisian cafes in that there were as many women here as men. The waiters were very friendly and it was very good value....

Local craft: Artisanat, Midoun

 draguza Says:  Places such as Midoun have their own small markets selling handwoven rugs, terracotta pots, spices, copper or brassware and the gentlemannered Berbers are a pleasure to meet. 

Souvenirs at Midoun

Souvenirs at Midoun, Midoun

 barryg23 Says:  For such a small town Midoun has plenty of stalls selling souvenir goods. Midoun is very close to Sidi Mahres where many tourist hotels are located so I imagine a lot of visitors come here to see something of Jerba other than the beach and a four star hotel. Many of the... 

The souks of Midoun: Souks

The souks of Midoun: Souks, Midoun

 kbl Says:  The souks have the stuff that will typically be sold in places where herds of tourists come. The shops sell small dromedary-toys, chess games, water-pipes, groceries, tea, ... Too much anyway if you are not speaking tunesian of arab :-)

Tourist Traps  

Shopping and negotiating

Shopping and negotiating, Midoun

 kbl Says:  When you are in Jerba (and in the larger part of North Africa) you will find yourself in the game of negotiating the price of any article you may be interested in. This can be quiet a pain, as you seem to have no reference point to define a good price and to know when you... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Fadloune Mosque

Fadloune Mosque, Midoun

 barryg23 Says:  The Fadloune Mosque is about 2km outside Midoun on the road to Houmt Souk. It's strange to see a mosque like this in the middle of nowhere with very few houses or a community around it. It did make for great pictures though. It's hard to beat sunset at an abandoned mosque in...

 Midoun is the second largest town on the island of Jerba, after Houmt Souk. It's not a particularly large town and there isn't a whole lot to detain visitors. However, it is a good place to break your...
