I visited the Medina of Sousse in Tunisia, an ancient town that has a rich history and culture. The medina is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways lined with whitewashed buildings, some more than a thousand years old. The colorful doors and windows are adorned with Arabic calligraphy and geometric patterns. I was fascinated by the intricate designs that appeared on every corner. As I walked through the medina, I could smell the spices and the aroma of fresh bread. The locals were very friendly and welcomed me into their shops to admire the handicrafts they had for sale. I was surprised to learn that there were no cars or motorbikes in the medina because of its narrow streets. Instead, locals use donkeys and carts to transport goods. I compared the Medina of Sousse with other medinas I have visited, such as the one in Fez, Morocco, and found that each medina has its unique characteristics. Overall, the experience was educational and enlightening.
