Bizerte - Medina

Round the picturesque Vieux Port (Old Harbor) in Bizerte is the Medina, the old Arab town. With its labyrinth of tortuous streets and covered souks, it has a very Oriental atmosphere. The streets are named after the various craftsmen who live and work in them - the smiths in the Rue des Forgerons, the armourers in the Rue des Armuriers, the carpenters in the Rue des Menuisiers, the butchers in the Rue des Bouchers, and so on.
