A real souq (bazaar). Noisy, crowded, loud shop keepers which will swarm you if there's a camera on your neck :-) be prepared, learn to say "la, shukran" (no, thank you) and indulge in the atmosphere. More

the medieval world lives..... take a tea in the middle and you could be a thousand years ago More

It will depend. If you´ve never been to an arabic medina, you´ll probably like it. Crowded narrow alleys, burstling with exotic people and things.

As a world traveler, I have been to markets on every continent. I love to bargain. But I found the merchants in Tunis to be pushy and clingy. It is hard to bargain when the starting price for a golf shirt is 85 Euros ($120.00 U.S. Dollars). The selling price should be about 5 to 10 Euros max. I found... More
