Rue Djemaa ez Zitouna

From Place de la Victoire, formerly the hub of the French quarter of Tunis, the Medina is entered through the Bab el Bahr. Straight ahead are the two main streets of the souk quarter, Rue Djemaa ez Zitouna to the left and Rue de la Kasbah to the right. The tour described in this section begins by going along Rue Djemaa ez Zitouna and ends by way of Rue de la Kasbah. The shops in this quarter are exclusively targeted on tourists, and prices are correspondingly high. With a modicum of skill in haggling it should be possible to bring them down to a more reasonable level.
