Popular Things To Do | Other Things To Do Tips | All Tips (36) Traditionally, in Tunisia, fishes can be carved over the entrance of a house in order to give wealth to those living in the house. They are more or less easy to identify as they have been sometimes covered by paint or even coat but if you look carefully, you will see a good many. More often, there is only one. I wonder if the presence of two fishes means here increased wealth ! Leave a Comment

This second ship-owner's house has almost the same look. The design if the wall tiles is different from one house to an other and some have a superb design. Sorry, I have not taken any close-up.
This house has also another feature typical of Tunisia, the delicately carved cast iron windows at the windows of the second level. You can also find in the souks birds cages made in the same way. Leave a Comment

Along Ferhat Ached Boulevard stand the houses of wealthy ship-owners. They have a typical architecture that allows to identify them at first glance. They have a twin-arched porch decorated with brightly colored wall tiles. Leave a Comment

Like tourists do,
But they do it because it can be good, no ?
I didn't try because I found the mast too short :)) Leave a Comment

i'm sure many a package tourist has stayed in Mahdia and not ventured out of the zone touristique by the beach. But to spend all your time by the beach is a real shame, as you'll miss out on Mahdia's old town, one of the most atmospheric of Tunisia's coastal cities. The old part is stuck out on a narrow promontary at the end of the beach, full of narrow alleyways and shady squares. It isn't that big, so no danger of getting lost, but it really is worth speeding through the touristy Skifa el Kahla (the entrance to the old town where all the souvenir shops and their pushy touts lurk) to reach Place du Caire with its outdoor cafes and the quiet and narrow streets beyond. There are not that many sights to hunt out, just wander round aimlessly, and sooner or later you'll find yourself by the sea again.
If you visit on a Friday, the medina will be teeming with people...it is market day, and stalls stretch all along the main road from the fishing port to the Great Mosque...but get there early, as most stalls start to pack up early afternoon. Leave a Comment

The old fishing harbour on the east side of the peninsula is beautiful with the old boats. Be there at the sunrise! Leave a Comment
