Medina Series 3

There are over 9000 streets in the Medina, just like this.  It's almost claustrophobic




Political posters.  Better than advertisements, eh?


The horseshoe thing is a guard for the evil eye, the higher knocker is for horse-riding visitors, and the other is for regular guests.  These doors are so old.
A young school.  Mickey's everywhere!
The only fountain with carved cedar wood, the Islamic arch, and marble.
A prayer house for any religion
Another ornate roof

A local

  1. Very nice shots. Is there a modern (but probably boring) part of the city? How about pix of your host family?

  2. yea, i am living in the old city, but there is the ville neuvelle, the new city. the pictures above are the souk districts, the shops and what-not. i spend about half the day in the ville and half the day in the medina

    as for host family pics, those'll come at some point. photographs are generally discouraged of people here unless you have a relationship with them.
