Tunisia Trip - Day 7: The Dawn Glow of Sidi Bou Said ๐ ๐๐ก๏ผ2๏ผ
๐ฅ๐ฅShopkeepers were removing the wooden planks from their storefronts, carefully arranging carpets and ceramic bowls outside to start their day's business ๐๏ธ. Each item was displayed with care, adding to the town's unique charm.๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฅ For tourists, this winter morning in the town was filled with romance and a sense of intoxication ๐. ๐ฅThe town is perched on a hill by the Mediterranean coast. ๐๐กThe buildings here are painted only in blue and white after renovation, blending Andalusian and Arab architectural styles ๐ฐ. The white walls, half - open blue lattice windows, exquisite round arches, black door studs, and bougainvillea at the doorsteps create a breathtaking sight under the morning sun ๐บ. At the entrance of the town, there's a roadside paid parking lot ๐ ฟ๏ธ. However, the payment machine only accepts coins. ๐๐กYou need to insert coins to get a ticket and place it on the front of your car for inspection. The price is 2 TND per hour, but you can pay by the half - hour. It's a good idea to estimate your sightseeing time in advance. Parking is relatively easy when there aren't many tourists in the morning. ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฅ Otherwise, you may need to drive north along the road to the next roundabout, where there are several parking lots. ๐ซBut keep in mind that it's a 15 - 20 - minute walk from there to the town entrance ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธ. ๐๐กThis early morning exploration of Sidi Bou Said was truly unforgettable. It was a moment frozen in time, allowing me to connect with the soul of this beautiful town ๐ซ. #Tunisia #Self - drive in Tunisia #Free Travel in Tunisia #Blue - and - White Town #Sidi Bou Said #Tunisian Blue - and - White Town ๐ด๐ธ
