In today's video, we are going to walk in The Souk of Tunis in Tunisia.
The souks of Tunis are a set of shops and boutiques located in the medina of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia.
Most souks were built under the Hafsid dynasty in the 13th century and near the Al-Zaytuna Mosque.
They are organized in several streets and alleys and The souks were housed in the Medinas, which were the Old Towns. These souks were traditional markets that came alive with bright colours, vibrant people, and beautiful aromas. The larger cities like Tunis, Sousse, Kairouan, and Sfax all had Medinas that housed these bustling souks.
When I entered the souk for the first time, I was prepared for a very different shopping experience from what I was used to. The souks were set along narrow passages and covered alleys, offering a wide selection of stalls selling traditional Tunisian items. From copper to pottery, jewellery to clothing, carpets to leather goods, you could find anything you desired in these souks. It was the perfect place to find souvenirs to take home or gifts for friends. I quickly learned that I had to put on my bargaining hat when walking into the souks. The hustle and bustle of the market, the electrifying atmosphere, the bright colours, and the amazing smells were all part of the experience.
The stall owners expected visitors to barter with them, so negotiating on price was not considered an insult. It added to the authenticity of the souk experience.
Visiting a souk in Tunisia was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, unlike any market I had ever visited back home. It was alive, thriving, and most of all, fascinating. I could have sat in the souk all day, watching as the stall owners bartered, visitors wandered through the passages, and the colours brightened up the ancient Medina. It was a personalized adventure that brought me closer to the vibrant culture of Tunisia.

I have visited Tunisia many times from the UK. Tunisians and their country are wonderful! The people like those across the Arab and Muslim lands are very welcoming, polite and generous. The streets of Tunis are clean! The cobbled paths running through the Tunis souks are also clean. If you remember your high school French you'll have an easy time as most Tunisians are bilingual in Arabic and French.

what you have said is so true Tunisian people are so kind and helpful I was amazed by their generosity. I tried my best to film all the beautiful things Tunisia has and there was so much more That I did film because of lack of time during my stay in Tunisia but I will definitely go back to film more. Thank you so much for watching and commenting it means so much to me.
