The blue and white town of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia

Some people hail Sidi Bou Said as the 'Santorini of Africa', but this seems too narrow a view and insufficient to capture its unique charm. The beauty of Sidi Bou Said lies in the harmonious symphony of its architecture with the sea, creating a breathtaking canvas that is unique to this land. The buildings here use pure white walls as the canvas, accented with blue doors, windows, and railings, interwoven with the azure sky above and the surrounding blue sea to form a captivating scene. This Mediterranean town is not only a treasure trove of natural beauty but also a melting pot of art and culture. Visitors can admire various handicrafts, taste Tunisian coffee in cafes, encounter lazy cats in quiet alleys, or simply sit quietly facing the sea, which is beautiful enough. Travel Tips~ Best time: Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Sidi Bou Said, with pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Dress advice: The UV rays are strong during the day, so it is advisable to take precautions against the sun. The town has many cobblestone roads, so it is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes. Cultural respect: Respect local culture and religious customs, and obtain consent before photographing local people or religious sites.
