Description

Perched on a cliff above the Gulf of Tunis, Sidi Bou Said has inspired painters such as Paul Klee and travelers from around the world for over a century. This walking tour takes you beyond the postcard views into the lanes, houses, and cafés that give the village its character.

We begin at Dar El Annabi, an 18th-century family home turned living museum. Explore its tiled courtyards and traditional rooms, then climb to the rooftop for sweeping views of whitewashed domes stretching down to the sea.

Next, we wander steep, cobbled lanes past blue doors studded with black nails, iron-grilled windows, and walls draped in bougainvillea (comfortable shoes recommended). Your guide will share the stories behind the village’s signature blue and white, reveal quiet corners most visitors miss, and stop at the best viewpoints for photos.

We finish at Café des Délices, whose terraces cascade down the cliffside above the harbor. Relax with mint tea topped with pine nuts or a warm bambalouni, the local sugar-dusted doughnut, while boats bob in the marina below.

By the end, you’ll know Sidi Bou Said not just as a view, but as a living village.

Highly recommend!

A lovely experience in Sidi Bou Said! The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome right away. It ended up being just the two of us, which created a really calm and friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed discovering the charming streets of the town.

ilyes is a great guide

Once you get used to his way of speaking and the rhythm, you will realize that he knows a lot about buildings as he studies architecture. He showed us lots of details of the Ennejma Ezzahra Palace and the Dar El Annabi as well. We had a good time exploring the old town and checked a few amazing view points. Besides we appreciate the flexible time schedule too.
