How Much Room For Shuffleboard

alleys and doors of the Medina of Tunis

Medina of Tunis




"In the endless maze of alleyways of the medina, few loafers casting a glance at the plates in blue enamel on the wall. Those who wander though the nose air eventually realize that the names of these streets summarize alone, any history of neighborhoods in the old city. A story also sometimes mixed with fantasy and poetry popular. Discover the origin of these names to make a dive back into the past of the medina and its people, to know the lifestyles and concerns of the past. "

It is only recently that I started doing some of those "who wander the nose in the air" But it was not because it was not interested in history and the origin of the names of those streets that are not foreign to me, I would say it could well be the reason, look without seeing, becomes so easy when it comes to these things that you are familiar ...

And to be honest, despite my curiosity and interest I have not taken the trouble to check and seek, search, but fortunately it is never too late and I could finally fix this!

"All these streets, lanes and alleys were once jealously guarded by a wall pierced with several doors that closed soon after nightfall: Dzira Bab, Bab el Bhar , Bab Cartagena, Souika Bab, Bab Djedid , Bnet Bab, Bab Menara, Bab el Fella, Bab Aleoua, Bab el Kkhadhra , to mention only the most famous. "

are my friends, I did not put the link of the site where I found this information on purpose, I thought, why not try to guess why it was called Bab as well rather than anything thing! (Only for those who are bold) if you are interested then you must do so without googlage , I guess liked me too, but now I have the information!

This invitation to travel in the rich cultural heritage and surprising in the medina of Tunis is astutely guided by Fleur de Lys in the Tunisian alternative forum.
