Sousse - Souk Quarter

To the south of the Ribat in Sousse is the picturesque Rue el Aghalba, which runs past the Great Mosque to the west side of the Medina. Off this street, on the left, opens Rue d'Angleterre, which leads south for some 250m/275yds to Souk el Reba (to the right). This is the beginning of the large souk quarter, partly roofed over, a scene of busy and colorful activity with all the atmosphere of the Orient. The most interesting parts are the side alleys, where the goods on display are not so evidently designed to appeal to tourists.
