Tunisia is a country of beautiful beaches, rich culture and exotic landscapes. The variety of landscapes - from oak forests to the sandy Sahara. Successive invaders: Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Turks left behind a lot of interesting buildings and attractive to the eye of today's items.Today in Tunisia because of political and economic problems is now reluctantly visited by tourists. A pity, because it's beautiful and interesting country. This applies both to its historical thread, as well as to contemporary culture. Let us hope that soon intend to overcome the Tunisians with their problems and tourists a wide bench will come again to this country.Ordinary Tunisians are very friendly people and proud of their country and history. When you step off the strictly planned path of travel agents and divest ourselves somewhat from the resorts like Hammamet, Monastir, Djerba and meet with a real, staroświeccką hospitality. The villagers will treat us tea, we will ask for next, where we come from, will talk willingly about themselves and their habits.While in Tunisia, of course, you need to visit the capital of the country or Tunis. You could say that Tunis is composed of three separate parts: the modern Tunis, średiowieczna, Arab medina or old town and historic Carthage.Of course it's worth looking at all the three districts, but a special flavor, aroma and is characterized by the specific sounds of the medina. And this phenomenon can not be missed. You can enter this fairy land by the gate Bab el Bahr, where the right side, in the beautiful Moorish building is the British embassy.The main street of the medina to rue Jemaa ez Zitouna, and following it up the hill we find ourselves in quite a fairytale world. Aromatic incense and exotic perfumes mingle with the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee. Tapping hammer silver jewelry manufacturing jewelers and traders calling to look at their stand can even drown out the voice of the muezzin, who calls to prayer from a nearby minaret. Bright colors: blues, reds, gold shimmer in floaty jackets motley mixture of sun and shade spots. And then the street lost in a dark tunnel, only to reappear again at the entrance to the mosque Zitouna, in full sunshine.It's a Wonderful Life medina and souks, you yourself see and touch the magical atmosphere. We must remember that Tunisia is not only the beach, sun, diving and swimming in warm waters. Travel purchased at a travel agency can be a little modify and break away from tourist resorts, to go on a journey through the real Tunisia.
