October 20, 2022 Traveling outside of Tunis today. Testour is an interesting town in the Tunisian wheat belt, while Dougga is the ruins of a Roman town.
Our tour experience leader, aka tour guide, Hammadi describing what we will be experiencing today.
I have no idea what it says, but the smiley face is a neat touch.
This area of Tunisia is field after field of wheat, or it will be when it sprouts and grows.
Looked inside a prayer room at a large service center on the toll road we took today. just inside the entrance was the wash room.
The prayer room was small with this gorgeous carpet.
Stork nest.
Tunisians buy their lamb very fresh.
The Moslem women work while the men sit, talk and drink tea.
Tower of a mosque.
Highly decorative door.
Arabic writing goes right to left, so the clock on the mosque tower goes counterclockwise compared to ours.
This man came down the street we were walking on. We learned he was going to get a load of used construction materials from a building that was being torn down. He earns about 30 Dinar or $10 dollars a day with his donkey and cart to support his wife and 3 children.
He took some of our ladies on a ride.
Tight fit.
Narrow streets are problem.
A refreshment stop.
Visiting the site of a Roman town. Below is a gallery of a small part of what we saw.
Some of the rooms had wall that were covered in marble. You can see the broken edge of the marble in the photo above.
This area would have been covered in marble.
