B
Bab al-Bhar
Bab al-Bhar (Sea Gate) is the striking 19th-century gateway between Tunis’s medina and avenue Habib Bourguiba. Photograph the sculpted arch, carved details, and the contrast of old stone against bustling street life. Best at golden hour for warm side-light on reliefs, or after sunset when street lamps and shopfronts add color. Easily accessible on foot or by taxi; no entry fee. Weekday mornings are quieter for compositions without crowds. Respect local customs when photographing people.
