Village of Sidi Bou Saïd

There are new sites designated as World Heritage by UNESCO! ​​Not only did I already have postcards of this place, but I've also already visited it!


Sidi Bou Saïd

Sidi Bou Saïd is a town in northern Tunisia, located about 20 km northeast of the capital, Tunis.
Named after the religious figure Abu Said al-Baji, it was formerly known as Jbel el-Menar. 

Sidi Bou Saïd's Cafes

Sidi Bou Saïd remains one of Tunisia's most visited destinations, drawing crowds for its photogenic blue-and-white streets, bougainvillea-covered walls, and panoramic views over the Gulf of Tunis and Mediterranean Sea.

Key attractions include:

  • Café des Nattes (Place des Nattes), a historic café famous for mint tea served with pine nuts.
  • Café des Délices, perched on the cliffside with sweeping sea views.
  • Dar Ennejma Ezzahra (Palace of Baron d'Erlanger), a museum and concert venue showcasing Arab and Mediterranean music, with a collection of historic instruments.
  • Dar El Annabi, a preserved traditional Tunisian house museum illustrating local domestic life and architecture. - in: wikipedia
