GAFSA:
Traditional quarters

The traditional quarters of Gafsa are suprisingly beautiful, and they are even inhabited. There are a couple of streets meandering off the Roman pools, and this area should not be missed. Clearly one of the finest of its kind in all of Tunisia!

A third attraction is the Dar Loungo, a residence of the 18th century. Like other rich man's houses in Tunisia, it is arranged around an inner courtyard, and there are several grand apartments to explore. From a roof terrace, you will be able to see large parts of the town of Gafsa.

Interior of the Dar Loungo, which is not really worth a visit, as everything of the decoration has been removed (September 2005).
