Highlights
- النجمة الزهراء - Your adventure begins at the Ennejma Ezzahra Palace, a jewel of Arab-Andalusian architecture that stands as a testament to Tunisia’s opulent past. Here, you’ll delve into the world of Baron d’Erlanger, who built this palace as a homage to the fusion of Mediterranean cultures. The palace serves as a museum showcasing a rich collection of musical instruments, art, and furniture, offering a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of its erstwhile inhabitants. The music room, in particular, is an acoustic marvel, hosting a variety of traditional and classical instruments that underscore Tunisia’s rich musical heritage.
- Sidi Bou Said - After the palace, the tour takes you on a leisurely stroll through Sidi Bou Said, a town that looks as though it’s been lifted straight from a painting. Known for its striking blue and white architecture, this town offers breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea, enchanting cafes, and a myriad of art galleries that celebrate local and international artists. As you wander through its cobbled lanes, you’ll feel the artistic spirit that has long inspired poets, artists, and musicians from around the world.
- Museum Dar el-Annabi - Dar El Annabi, a traditional Tunisian house that offers a deep dive into the local way of life. This house-museum, located in the heart of Sidi Bou Said, is a treasure trove of Tunisian heritage, with its intricate decor, traditional clothing, and everyday artifacts that tell the story of Tunisian family life through the ages.
- Mosquee De Sidi Bou Said - Our path takes us by the Mosque of Sidi Bou Said, a beacon of spiritual serenity amidst the bustling town. This historic mosque, with its striking minaret visible from afar, stands as a testament to the Islamic heritage of the area. We’ll take a moment outside to appreciate its architectural beauty and snap some photos that capture the essence of Tunisian spirituality.
- Cafe des Delices - Our tour wouldn’t be complete without a view of the Café des Délices, renowned for its stunning vistas over the Gulf of Tunis. While we won’t stop for a drink, you’ll want to have your camera ready for this spot.
