Sidi Bou Saïd

Sidi Bou Saïd Sidi Bou Said The mythical Café des Délices is hidden in the little streets of Sidi Bou Said, an incredibly cute little white village. 123rf ©

Sidi Bou Saïd, lying at the foot of the mountain Djebel Manâr, is 10.5 miles north-east of Tunis and the most visited village in the country. Its impeccable small streets, its mashrabiyas shrouded in mystery, its round roofs and cool Mediterranean atmosphere all make this a timeless place best visited at its quietest, in the off-season or early in the morning. Of course, do not fail to stop at the famous Nattes Café. This charming café situated at the top of the main street of the village has played host to numerous writers and artists (Gide, Montherlant and Klee) who in turn paid it tribute in their works. Another café with a panoramic view of the Mediterranean is the Shebaane (see photo), with its splendid terraces on several floors. Just the right spot to drink a cup of mint tea as the sun sets!
