scenes from the medina in tunis

minaret in medina in tunis, flags were everywhere with either the picture of the president or the tunisian flag on them in preparation for the celebration of their national day ("changement") on Nov 7th. It was nov 7th 1987 when the current government took over and that president remains in power.

fabulous colored doors all throughout the medina

our hotel, Dar El Medina, was the first door  on the right. Very nice hotel in a former residence which has been carefully redone.  Was SO quiet at night, rest of medina does not look like this but is chaotic, and very noisy.
