Entering the Medina shopping area


It was a intense hot day.  The crowds were shoulder to shoulder.  The onboard staff warned us that Tunisians are very vocal and they barter for their wares.  We only had time to go down the main corridor and did not do any side alleys.  To me the only interesting items were the antiquity shops but unless you plan on decorating in an Arabian theme there is not mush use for their stuff. There were not as many rug dealers as expected but there were fabric shops with bolts of cloth.  Great experience but not sure I would do it again.
