"Desert Rose" is a beautiful souvenir that can only be found in the countries of North Africa. These are sand, salt and gypsum pressed by the wind, which form amusing shapes that look like flowers. average price for one "rose" - one dinar, but you can bargain and get a bunch for a piglet.

Kitchen

Tunisia was under the rule of France for a long time, and this left a big imprint on national cuisine. For example, they still serve the freshest and most delicious baguette for breakfast and they know how to make croissants very well. Chefs are also good at dishes from cereals and legumes- for example, chickpeas or couscous. But with meat, everything is much sadder. Mainly mutton, cooked in the oven and generously flavored with spices so that it is almost impossible to recognize lamb.

Boiled vegetables (also with spices) are at a premium here. What Tunisians have no equal in is sweets. Nuts in honey, baklava, Turkish delight, nougat - you can’t list everything!
