There is so much to explore around the local neighborhoods. We live in Carthage, but Sidi Bou Said is very close. Sidi Bou, as the locals call it, has been named as one of the Most Charming Small Towns in the World. Once you visit, you understand why this is so true. We went with a staff friend, Nejla, who is also from the area and her family still lives around Sidi Bou. Nejla is a great tour guide and you can tell that her heart belongs to Sidi Bou!
The phenomenal views are picture perfect. The unique large wooden and decorated doors are everywhere. It is no wonder that artists have loved this area for hundreds, it not thousands of years.

Inside one of the shops is what used to be a grand residence.
With an inner courtyard, open to all the rooms and the air. |

A small local place to have a bit of chicken for lunch.
The mosque goes off loudly in the middle of lunch, calling the
worshippers to prayer. |
 |
| Suddenly, we were looking at a house for rent... |
 |
| Breathtaking views from the two terraces! |
 |
| View from the top of a B&B. Looking out to the Mediterranean. |
 |
| The dead have the prime property here in Sidi Bou. |
 |
| Mark thought he should try the hot tub out at the B&B, |
 |
| An old place built on the cliff. |
 |
Narrow little alleyways, lined with blue
and bougainvillea. |
 |
| A lovely day spent with a lovely gal! |
