Tunis - Zaouia Sidi Brahim

In Rue Sidi Brahim (No. 11) in Tunis is the mid 19th century Zaouia Sidi Brahim, with a beautifully decorated interior, and in Rue du Tribunal, which goes off opposite it, stands Dar Lasram, an 18th century palace which now houses ASMA, the association for the preservation of the Medina. Rue Sidi Brahim joins Rue du Pacha. The Turkish Pasha once resided in this street, and it became the main street of a select residential quarter (fine doorways). At No. 40 is the Medersa Bachiya (1756). Rue du Pacha runs into Rue Sidi Ben Arous, which goes north to Rue Bab Souika and the starting-point of the tour and south to the Mausoleum of Hammouda Pacha.
