Tunisian Safari: The land of the Photography 2008-02-22 09:43:00 The first time I visited Tunisia was in the 1960s not long after the country had gained its independence from France and President Bourguiba was in power.

Each part of the city is separate, so you pass from one world to another quickly and totally. The old medina is a maze of winding streets and endless photographic opportuni Read more:Safari
