Faces and Places - What Place in the Medina resembles you most?
My name is Rhouma and I'm from "Centreville".
My whole life, I've loved the old town of Tunis and I’ve always hoped that one day I would have the chance to live there. Luckily, I now work in a beautiful guest house and I pass by the Medina more often.
Which place have you chosen and where in the Medina is it located?
The steps of the Zeytouna Mosque and the square that is infront of it.
Why did you chose this place and what does it mean to you?
There's a lot of movement and joy in this place. The people passing by come in all different types of colours. It's very cosmopolitan.
How do the faces and facades, that you see when you walk in the Medina, influence you?
I feel as if I've travelled in time and visited the period between 1900-1960. This was the golden age of Tunis, when the city was the source of movement and the world was beautiful!
Tell us about the faces and facades of the Medina that you like and dislike and would like to discover what's behind them.
Old windows make me lift my head, only to find, that the green of age has begun to take over. It's as if you could suddenly feel the good old days, when passerbys flirted with their cheeky glimpses and songs in the middle of the night.
PS: I'm a big fan of the movie "3sfour es-Sta7"
