I got to see a bit of the mountains of Tunisia today.
This was, as I like to call them, a scoping trip. See a few new places briefly, get a flavor for what they’re like, remember where I might want to return to someday for a deeper visit.
I was fortunate to have Sam to guide me again today. I asked him to take me from my hotel to the airport, which would normally be a 15-minute drive. I had most of the day before my flight out of Tunisia was to leave, so I asked Sam to be a little more … creative in his route choice.
We drove an hour or so south from Tunis …
Knowing my penchant for outdoor and cultural scenery, Sam chose to take me to the hillside settlement of Zriba El Alia, which is mostly abandoned, mostly well-preserved, and entirely scenic.
Herewith, a photo walk through Zriba El Alia:
One last video of what driving through the countryside on our way back to the airport:
Sam, thank you. It was great get to know you and your country. This was an experience to remember.
You can see more of my travel stories without having to check back randomly to see if I’ve posted something new.
Thank you for following along!
