However, we had to concede that, in terms of street food, Ramadan is a terrible time to come to Tunisia. There is pretty much nothing until 8 or 8:30pm when people come out after iftar. It was a good thing we had a very nice apartment kitchen and the central market had all manners of vegetables and fruits, otherwise we'd be losing weight: peas, tomatoes, fava beans, green peppers, oranges and grapefruits (Tunisia has the best ever).
However, we never bought dates (1st below). ;-)
One night we went out at 8:30pm and had a couple of bambalouni (deep-fried doughnuts). Tasty!
We wandered through the souks in the medina several times. The main "streets" were always busy.
One day we strolled around town, visiting places we missed in 2022, like the clock tower (1st below),the brutalist and closed-since-2000, Hotel du Lac (2nd), the Museum of Modern Art (3rd), Villa Yvonne from the Atlas Obscura (4th), and a courtyard in the medina (5th).
We did not ride the tram this time.
An atmospheric courtyard in the new town.
The Modernist ENICAR Building and Clock Tower.
The Art Nouveau Azerm Building with its fish-shaped windows is under renovation.
