Tunisia – a true shoppers paradise
If you love to haggle, you'll adore the souks. The medinas or old towns, which are home to the souks, are real living places where craftsmen can still be found practising their trade on the streets, and where each street represents a different craft. The nobler trades, such as jewelers, silk merchants, perfumers and booksellers are normally located centrally around the mosque, and the practical trades, such as pottery, can be found towards the outskirts of the town. The best way to shop in this entertaining maze is to wander aimlessly and stumble across whatever takes your fancy.
