After four nights in Tunis, we had an early morning flight to our next stop which was Djerba Island. Our first stop on our bus ride was to the Hara Sghira neighborhood. Our guide said that this neighborhood was mostly Jewish and some Christians. I can tell you this, it was an incredibly artistic neighborhood.

It’s my understanding that in 2014, they invited 150 street artists from around the world to create 250 Murals throughout the neighborhood. That resulted in what might be called an open-air museum. In addition to the colorful and creative murals, it has many white walls, sprawling bougainvillea, and many colorful doors to go with them. It was a fun stop for us.

While here, we stopped at the La Placette Café for some coffee and sweats.

The neighborhood was largely based on a blue and white color scheme. This is just one of the streets we walked.

The next two photos will show more of the murals painted on the walls.

The red tree on the left was one of my favorite murals.

Vicky couldn’t help herself. Oh alright, I actually asked her to stand there for my photo. Good idea, huh? And yes, her left antenna needs a little work.

There was a wide variety of murals, some of which I found both curious and interesting.
