Tunisia Culture and Traditions
Date of arrival :
Outgoing date :

Men are cutters of stones, however women weave the farachias, cloths with bright colors, and the filij, long ribbons which are sewn together to form the Bedouins tents.

In Tunisia, you read the secular customs in every action.
The one of the craftsman who polishes his boiler making pieces lovingly, the one of the potter who makes the jars which keep water so fresh, the one of the weaver, who ties up the crude wool for carpets, guaranteed by the label "Quality-authenticity".

Every tribe has its own drawings and colors: The claret prevails in Douiret, the black in Guermassa, the blue in Matmata and Tataouine.

Can you resist to the gypsum flower, the quartz, the Berbers' jewels?
As passing through Nabeul, you can admire the magic of the craftsman who fashions, on a red clay foundation, his faience decorated with green and yellow motifs.

Or this another one who transforms under your eyes, the leather into, sandals, begs, belts, djebbas, or vests delicately embroidered.

Finally, who doesn't know the adorable bird cage of Sidi Bou Saïd?
