Tunisia, the pearl of North Africa, a romantic blue and white town

🇹🇳Tunisia, the pearl of North Africa, will return to the world in 2024, unlocking less popular and off-the-beaten-path destinations. ✈️Take Egypt Air from the capital airport, transfer in Cairo, and land in this distant and beautiful country after a dozen hours~ Here you will find colorful and magnificent scenery, thousands of years of history and culture. Start from the capital and drive from north to south, experiencing the treasure of Tunisia, which is half sea water and half desert. 🩵The first stop of the trip starts from the blue and white town of Sidi Bou Said, which is rated as one of the top ten romantic towns in the world by National Geographic. It is a small town in the northeast of the capital city of Tunisia, about 20 kilometers away from the capital city of Tunisia. It is located on the top of a steep cliff. The unique blue and white buildings are very beautiful, surrounded by stunning Mediterranean scenery, just like coming to Santorini. It is a favorite holiday destination for locals and foreign tourists, and it is beautiful at first sight. 💙The whole town winds up along the mountain, with a simple layout but uniquely beautiful. The houses here are only two or three stories high, and the feature is that all the houses only have two colors. Greek-style white dome houses and blue doors, cobblestone streets lined with art shops, souvenir stalls and quaint cafes, people can't help but stroll and trigger the shutter. The town is full of rich artistic atmosphere, blooming bougainvillea, orange trees with heavy fruits, colorful art pieces, unrestrained street artists, love this romantic exotic atmosphere~ 🧑‍🎨The blue and white town is a hometown of artists, many artists have lived or visited here, including the famous mystic Aleister Crowley, Paul Klee, Gustave Henri Jossot, Auguste Macke and Louis Moilliet. One of the most famous landmarks in the town is the "Nejma Zahra" palace built by British Earl Erlanger, which reflects the expression of love and beauty in its decoration and angles. 🌇In the evening, come to Café des delices with friends. The space is divided into several layers. The afterglow of the setting sun makes the Mediterranean blue more charming. Sitting under the palm trees, overlooking the port and the beach surrounded by clear water, clouds floating in the clear blue sky, yachts and sailboats slowly moving on the sea, the view of the Gulf of Tunisia and the Mediterranean from here is beautiful, as if time has been forgotten, the beauty is just captured with a camera~ 🤍Blue and white town Sidi Bou Said 🚗Drive to the nearby parking lot, no parking in the town
