Even though we were in town on a Friday,the mosques didn't seem particularly busy. We had expected otherwise. We did run into a few restaurants that were not tightly shut, but they only served a single set menu. We are beginning to think that while Ramadan iftar "break fast" in other countries may be a feast, Tunisians are more restrained, maybe like observing Lent, which makes more sense to me.
Our hotel room was above a vegetable street market and had a view towards the Fortress.
Though the El Kef Fortress (Kasbah) is free to visit, boys will be boys.
