The morning light hits the white-and-blue facades of Sidi Bou Said before the coach pulls away, and the city opens like a map under a bright Mediterranean sky. Travelers step from an air-conditioned vehicle into narrow streets where the sea smells of salt and citrus trees push their scent into doorways. The day moves from the layered stone of Carthage to the labyrinthine alleys of Tunis’ Medina, each stop revealing a different pace of history.
