    Beautiful historic Mausoleum. Just beware of shops across the street. Very pushy vendors.

    Small but beautiful. I felt very lucky to be allowed to enjoy a space like this. I would recommend you take a seat, cool off and just enjoy it for a while.

    Very nice people. Good "little bit more Moroccan style" souk. Try the fresh & warm bread straight out of the oven (side Street) - soooo good. Beautiful view over the town. A lot of people speak English and German there.

    Located near Elhadeem Square. Clean and well-maintained, yet a large sign by the entrance would help.
