Nabeul - Crafts

A stroll through the souks in Nabeul, with their tempting displays of the products of the town's potters, stone-carvers and weavers, is recommended to all visitors. The predominant colors of the pottery are green (a mixture of lead and copper oxides) and yellow (lead and antimony). The technique was originally introduced in the 17th century by a family from Djerba. The simple geometric designs go back to ancient models.

It is worth enquiring beforehand in the showrooms of ONAT (Organization Nationale de l'Artisanat Tunisien) in Avenue Habib Thameur about the quality and prices of local products.
