The food scene in Medina of Tunis is best discovered on foot — walk between Zitouna Mosque and Souks to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Tourbet el Bey for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
One of the best-preserved medieval Arab cities in the world, a UNESCO-listed maze of souks, mosques, and palaces spanning 1,300 years of history.

While Medina of Tunis is best known for history and architecture, stops like Zitouna Mosque and Souks sit alongside bakeries and cafes tucked into side streets — and quieter spots like Tourbet el Bey where the real locals eat. A food-focused walk connects the culinary landmarks with the places that reflect daily life, turning a sightseeing route into an edible discovery.
Enter from Bab el Bahr and walk straight toward the Zitouna Mosque — the souks branch off from this central axis. Bargaining is expected. Keep small change for mosque donations.
March through May and September through November. Summer is very hot. Ramadan changes the rhythm of the medina — evenings become lively after iftar.
