"Tunesia: Tunis" Africa Things to Do Tip by tini58de

This is the official brief description of the UNESCO committee

"Under the Almohads and the Hafsids, from the 12th to the 16th century, Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world. Some 700 monuments, including palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas and fountains, testify to this remarkable past."

(quoted from the official UNESCO website)

Personal impression:

Tunis was our last stop after four weeks of crossing the Sahara desert and seeing and experiencing more than we could remember! This might be the reason, why I just did not enjoy Tunis all that much - I had just seen so many fabulous things until then. I might have to return and make Tunis my first stop - who knows, if it will be just as beautiful as the UNESCO description suggests....?
