I visited Monastir, the "City of Bourguiba" at the begining of October, 2005. Five of us, were looking forward to extend the Summer, enjoy on warm Meditterranean sunny beaches, and at the first place, to explore this for all of us unknown country. Our expectations didn't come true completely, but in spite of all, we had a wonderful time there.

Olga, fabulous page with brilliant photos and interesting commentaries. I must admit that I have never been to Tunisia.

Very nice page with good information! Good shopping but the Tunisians are master salesmen! Did you receive a good price when you purchased your rug there?

Olga, great photos of an ancient land, I only wish it was easier to travel to Africa from Canada. Maybe the carpets should be of the Flying type. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting tips about an exotic destination. Weird that you had to smuggle water into your hotel.
