Exploring Mahdia
We left the El Jem Amphitheater and drove less than an hour away to the small town of Mahdia. There is a Friday market held here. It is large, crowded and filled with everything from spices to used clothing, new kitchen items to pottery, food to new shoes. We wandered around the town and the medina, checked out the local fish market and also a wonderful pottery store where we made a purchase of pottery dishes for our home back in Tunis.
 |
| It is crowded and difficult to drive here. Meant for walking instead. |
 |
| Who knew? Designer bananas! |
 |
| Lots of spices at the Friday market. |
 |
I guess when you are thirsty, you are thirsty.
No matter how big/old you are. |
 |
| In the medina in Mahdia. |
 |
Skifa El Kahla. This is the gate/wall that led to the city.
It was built in 900 AD. |
 |
| Glad that he did not buy that stuffed camel behind him! |
 |
| People are selling goods right inside. |
 |
| In the medina. |
 |
| Looking from town out to the Fort. We will explore that tomorrow. |
After exploring the town and it's sights, we drove not far, back to our hotel. It is a lovely small B&B, right on the beach. We spend the rest of the day sitting at the pool, reading and just relaxing.

| The walkway down to the beach. |
 |
| I love how this is tiled!!! |
 |
| Wow, paradise! |
 |
| The beach is empty. |
 |
| Looking towards town. There are a few people walking. |
 |
| Someone has not moved. |
 |
| This rooms is just lovely inside! |
 |
This room has a small sitting area. Wouldn't
this be great for a family to gather in the
evening and play a game?! |
