Medina of Tunis transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Zitouna Mosque and Souks take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Tourbet el Bey for the kind of night that only locals know about.
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.

Medina of Tunis is primarily visited for history and architecture, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Zitouna Mosque and Souks come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Tourbet el Bey — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
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.
