    Sidi Bou Said

    April 23 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Sidi Bou Said is a captivating village perched on a cliff overlooking the Gulf of Tunis. It's renowned for its striking beauty, characterized by its Andalusian-style architecture with whitewashed houses and vibrant blue doors and window shutters. Bougainvillea cascades down the walls, adding splashes of color to the serene blue and white palette.
    Beyond its picturesque appearance, Sidi Bou Said exudes a charming and artistic atmosphere. For centuries, it has attracted artists, writers, and intellectuals who were inspired by its tranquil ambiance and stunning Mediterranean views. You'll find numerous art galleries, artisan shops, and traditional cafés where you can soak in the local culture.
    Historically, the village was once called Jabal el-Menar, meaning "mountain of the lighthouse." Its name changed in honor of a Sufi saint, Abu Said al-Baji, who settled there in the 13th century. His mausoleum remains a significant site in the village.
    Some key things that make Sidi Bou Said special:
    * The views: The panoramic vistas of the Mediterranean Sea are simply breathtaking.
    * The architecture: The consistent blue and white color scheme creates a unique and harmonious aesthetic.
    * The atmosphere: It has a relaxed, almost bohemian feel, distinct from the bustling city of Tunis nearby.
    * Café des Nattes: This iconic traditional café is a must-visit for its ambiance and views.
    * Ennejma Ezzahra Palace: This stunning early 20th-century mansion, built by Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, now houses the Centre for Arab and Mediterranean Music.
    * Dar el-Annabi Museum: A traditional Tunisian house museum offering a glimpse into the local way of life.
    Sidi Bou Said is often described as a "jewel" or a "postcard-perfect" village and is a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking beauty, tranquility, and a touch of history.    Read more

    Sidi Bou Said - The doors

    April 23 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Ah, Tunisian doors! They're so much more than just entryways; they really tell a story about the country's history and artistry. You'll notice such a wonderful variety as you wander through the medinas and even in more modern areas.
    In the older parts of cities like Tunis, Sousse, and Kairouan, you often see these grand, heavy wooden doors, sometimes studded with large nails. These aren't just for security; they're a real statement of the family's status and history. Often, you'll find intricate carvings, geometric patterns, or even inscriptions from the Quran adorning them. Each region can have its own distinct style, which is fascinating to observe.
    Then you have the vibrant painted doors, especially in places like Sidi Bou Said. The bright blues are iconic, contrasting beautifully with the white walls. But you'll also see other colors used, each with its own significance, sometimes reflecting the beliefs or even the profession of the inhabitants.
    It's also interesting to note the different types of knockers you might encounter. Often, there are two – one for men and one for women, each with a distinct sound so the person inside knows who is at the door.
    Even in more contemporary Tunisian architecture, you'll often see nods to these traditional designs, perhaps in the use of materials or decorative elements. It's a lovely way that Tunisians have kept their heritage alive while embracing the modern world.
    Have you noticed any particular doors that caught your eye while you've been here in Carthage? I'd love to hear about them!    Read more
