The first protected site in the world, perched on the Cliffside which dominates Carthage and the Gulf of Tunis, is the medieval village of Sidi Bou Said, a little paradise, adorned in the colours of the Mediterranean.
Strolling through its cobbled alleyways, visitors discover the delightful mixture of houses with their white lime exteriors, moucharaby balconies, and blue shutters - that unique blue of Sidi Bou Said. The heavy, studded doors open into secret gardens carpeted with ceramics and encircled with bougainvilliers.
