I Walked Around Medina In Tunis

I have been traveling around Africa since 2008 when I quit my life and job in South Africa to backpack around West Africa. I ended up living around the continent for five years. I don’t live on the road anymore but I still travel the continent. To shake off the mental strain of 2020, I’m spending several weeks in Egypt and Tunisia. These pictures are from window shopping at the souk in Medina, Tunis.
