- Next up in circling the Mediterranean in 40 days... Tunisia! We loved exploring Tunis and Sidi Bou Said, trying local street food, and learning more about the fascinating and unique history of this region.
For years, I've had a dream of circling the whole Mediterranean; not just the European coasts but also exploring the Middle East and North Africa. My sister, Sage, and I got to planning and together we are embarking on this adventure together. When we were looking at the travel space, it seemed that female creators still appear to be far outnumbered and local female stories are had to come by. With this in mind, we want to explore each location through the lens and experience of the local gals who live there to gain a better understanding of the culture, politics, and history of each region.

I'm actually upset that I've never been to Tunisia. As a Moroccan, I don't understand why we feel the need to travel to other countries in Europe for example and forget our beautiful neighbouring countries. You made me wanna visit Tunisia! ❤
You should travel to your neighbouring countries and as many countries as you can of course because there are beautiful places around the world but Europe is really special and fun, culturally and naturally very diverse.
Have you ever to Kashmir it's most beautiful
@@viralvideosinworld92 Kashmir is too far away from Tunis.
That's because your mind has been colonized. Go to Algeria, Go to Tunis, Go to Egypt. Avoid Libya for now. Go to Mauritania, Go to Ethiopa & Kenya.
🇹🇳❤️🇲🇦
Tunisia is like a hidden beauty it's such place full of history and art
Ty ❤
I loved your video! Not only is the editing on point, but as a Tunisian I truly appreciated how well researched and well informed you were about the history and politics of the country you visited!
Btw what you ate at the beginning is called ma9roudh! It's fried pastry made with dates and it originates from the city of Kairouan and dates back to the early Middle Age!
Tunisia is not in its best shape or form as of now due to the economic crisis and political unrest, but hopefully we will one day stand back on our feet!
A UA-camr visits a country to distort it, based on its poor population waiting for a homeless person to give them a little money, and a hungry person who makes a backward comment. We are in 2023, world. I walk around all of Tunisia and I do not see scenes of poverty and deprivation, but I see them on the channel of a homeless UA-camr who lives in the Middle Ages
I love seeing videos of less commonly shown cities, the world has so many beautiful places
Don't let the camera trick u
Tunisia Main history is being Carthage not just that : Carthage Was one of the biggest Empires back then for so many years , And as Tunisian i feel like that part is always missing , We had one of the greatest General of all time Hannibal Barca , its rich of history , but yea just wanted to say that , cuz lot talk abt tunisia but they never talk abt great carthage , our true history
Because they Arabized. After minister Mzali destroyed education and implented Arabism. Today it's worse then ever with a choice between Ennahda and co "Islamist political ideology" and "neo" Arabist stuck in the 60 , like the president Kais Said .
@@alphachief6085 i agree. People dont know their own history wont respect it
@@alphachief6085 can we just stop this divisive and hate speech and embrace our history and diversities? We are blessed to have a rich history and a country that witnessed multiple powerful civilizations including the Phoenician and the Arab Islamic civilization which was one of the biggest civilizations the human kind ever witnessed. If you want to be identified as an Amazigh then fine, if I want to be identified as an Arab is also fine. There's no wrong way about it, we're all descendents of both civilizations. Don't let envy, hate and xenophobia hold us back. I'm so tired of this stupid, never ending discussion. Let's move on!
@@nidhalmahjoubi7964 Ah my Cancel Culture friend, maybe you can explain me why your school curriculum devote almost no time on Carthage ? Why the constitution says Tunisia is an Arab country ? Which it isn't. Why the ordinary Tunisian can't name any historic figure from that era but Hannibal 🤣? My understanding is that mayority of Tunisians want to be Arab. More than the Arab themselves 🤣. You really think you will get a piece of the pie 🤣🤣🤣 ($$$$$). You've got nothing from the Arab "brothers" but surmons from religious clerics from the middle east , especially after 2011. Before the came via satellite T.V. since the late '90 in your households. While they envied you and made progression by your export workforce made in Tunisia which education was financed by Tunisians who pay their taxes, like the woman picking the olives which hands are hard and coarse from the work they do. Curriculum that teaches history from the year Okba Bin Nafaa landed in Tunisia 🤣🤣🤣. Stockholm syndrome applies to the majority of Tunisians. Saoedi Arabia wants to invest just in one project 500 billion USD it's called The Line, Qatar spends 225 billion USD in their world cup adventure. But the "brothers" couldn't help Tunisia out as a matter affect they didn't want to hand out Ben Ali and his family, no they gave them asylum. Still Tunisian love to be Arabs , even the Arabs laugh about this, they don't accept Tunisians as Arabs. The reputation of Tunisian man in the Arab world is that they are weak because the woman are treated almost equal which is alien to them. Tunisia a Arab Country 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@alphachief6085
1) what's the "cancel culture" got to do with anything. What's in my comment suggest that I want to cancel you because you want to be identified as an Amazigh or Arab or whatever you like. If anything, it's the opposite
2) that's not right, we've had lessons about the Phoenician and Carthaginian civilization in History classes in multiple grades and as early as the 5th grade
3) The constitution says Tunisia is an Arab country because Arabic is our official language. But it doesn't forbid you from identifying yourself as an Amazigh
4) the majority of Tunisians will fail to name the 4 major Caliphates of Islam or even mention the 5 pillars of Islam. It's not about you, it's about the failure of the education system in general
5) if bigoted people from both ends of the stick get over their inner hate and envy we would be fine. If you take a look at the "normal citizens" of Tunisia, they don't give a flying fuck if you identify yourself as an Arab or Amazigh (religious matter is a totally different discussion though)
Get over yourself and your inflated ego, live your life the way you want and let other people live their lives however they want. No one will target you if you don't target them
I did a week in Tunisia staying in Sousse and did the day trip to Tunis visiting the Medina, the mosque in the Medina, Bardo Museum, city centre, Sidi Bou Said, Roman Carthage and Lake Tunis before heading back to Sousse. I've visited other parts of Tunisia like Port El Kantanoui, Skanes, Monastir, 2 day trip to Sahara Desert (includes El Jem Amphitheatre, Matmata, Douz where we did the Sahara Desert on camel, Chott El Jerid Salt Desert, dune bashing, Tamerza Canyon, Chebika Waterfalls, Tozeur doing the horse carriage around the oasis, Gafsa, Kairoun Mosque) and obviously Sousse
Such a beautiful and informative video! Tunisia is now top of my travel list :)
As a Tunisian, I'm partly flattered of how good you made tunisia look in this video.
But there are still a bunch of places you didn't go to and foods you didn't eat that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Also mlewi isn't supposed to be eaten like that, that's why the food fell off.
she also mistook ojja for slata mechouia but a nice vlog overall
@@mayba8670 Yes the slata mechouia was actually ojja , besides that really liked the video
Same
Very beautiful video ❤️ Glad you enjoyed Tunisia 🇹🇳
Just a small clarification, Tunisian women are free and respected.
Habib Bourguiba began instituting secular freedoms for women in 1956, such as access to higher education, the right to file for divorce, and equal job payment for men and women. Our prime minister is a women 💪
Unfortunately, After the revolution some Tunisian people and activists want to just focus on the negative.
We improve with only an optimistic mindset.
😊
Thank you for pointing this out Arij, that activist they had was so biased.
Absolutely. Although, there is still a lot to improve for women, but not from these activists that are funded by foreign aid, highly influenced by western woke agenda...
soon the president of Tunisia will be a woman. And we will finally get rid of these Islamist Bedouins who want to root in our minds ideas that do not merge with us and do not conform to our way of life in our country and will not look like us.
Long live Tunisia!
Thank you for saying that. I wanted to but nobody wants to hear it from a man 😂
what you had bought in that small box and eaten later is called "Makroudh" which is a traditionally fried "cake" made of semolina stuffed with dates/nuts.
hi i love tunisia! travelled and lived there for a month this past summer:) thank you for capturing it and showing people what a wonderful country it is with such amazing people❤
Did you come to Tunisia?
Tunisia is such a beautiful country
This came just at the right time! i'm going to tunisia for 3 weeks in two days and can't wait to experience this new culture. beautiful video Elena 💛
Make sure to not only visit tunis but Ain drahem, sousse, djerba and benzart as well
How does it go
Loved your exploration of Tunis! I had the privilege to travel Tunisia last year and it was such an interesting place to make vlogs. Great people, interesting history and picturesque towns and cities! Hope you have a great time in Tunisia too!
As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect Tunisia and it's beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂
I love how you incorporated info on the history and politics, and also for a locals perspective. You did a great job of showing the sights and culture and food!
I am super impressed that you managed to do a street food tour in and all white outfit!
it makes me to happy to see people enjoy my home country
Love the way you make these travel videos, with the history insight, authentic vlog style and beautiful snap shots. This made me want to visit Tunisia 🇹🇳 .
welcome to you
7:13 that old man with the blue shirt in the back holding a stick is there the whole time, greets and blesses ppl that pass through I was happy to see him here
This is such a informative and beautifully created video! Tunisia looks amazing and the architecture is beautiful!
I loveeeee your vibe!!! As an tunisian I am truly honored that you created this masterpiece, beautiful video ❤❤❤
thank you for your honnest review about Tunisia and I hope you enjoyed your staying here 😍😍😍 I just want to add that women in tunisia are more liberated than other women in other arabic countries and what you saw in the bars it is basically the common thing among young people so basically you can find all kind of people but somehow we are managing to live together without any civil conflicts
not smth to be proud of maam
@@SafiyyahAhmad yes it is ? Why is women being free independent beings shameful to you ? Or is it only prideful when it's men 🤔
@user-tm9mc7ud9i Just let people live the way they want to. They are not your underage daughters to lecture. Thank you!
@@sushisashuuu so a woman at a bar is a “free independent being.” Sorry but yes, we are not proud of Tunisian women who do that. We have the bar raised for our women. We don’t want to see them falling into the west’s false idea of so called “freedom.” Really it’s just a bunch of drunk people. Really try to reassess what a free human being is to you….
@@SafiyyahAhmad have fun relishing in your oppression then? every person deserves freedom and liberation, regardless of gender.
Love that this is not only about beautiful views and places of Tunisia but also alot of information and history were being shared so thank you and hope u enjoyed ur stay 🙌🏽🙏🏼❤🇹🇳!!
Great video ! Thank you for portraying my beautiful country Tunisia 🇹🇳❤️ in such a simple,informative and cool way ☺️
amazing editing and narrating the video is so catchy to watch !! You're always welcome in Tunisia
ur travel vlogs r by far the best i've seen, u not only capture the pretty and aesthetic things, but also the really important things like the life of the people/locals of where ur visiting, the history, and the struggles they face. its a much more authentic and interesting view of the country/city and I end up learning soooo much!
your touch is incredible like history and the beauty of the country mixed in one video thats so cool
As a Tunisian 🇹🇳i thanks you too the reshare this travel to Tunisia for the world ❤ it's the must beautiful video of my country.
You really outdo yourself with every new video! 👏🏾👏🏾
14:00 just to correct you its not SALATA MECHOUIA as you mentionned in the title , its actually called OJJA . But am gonna admit it I love your vlog top quality work . U got yourself new subscriber from Djerba the southern Tunisian island 😊
I have good memories from Tunisia, from Sidi Bou Said to deep in the Sahara... my children also enjoyed the beach soooo much! so good you are doing this trip Elena, and taking us with you... greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia, Chile
Nice Elena, Tunisia is a wonderful place to visit. We have been there once and thoroughly enjoyed their hospitality, love, and welcoming nature.
Love from a Pakistani American.
Thank you for being so open minded and respectful
I love my country tunisia 🇹🇳 ❤️
I love so much that you always provide a historical background!
One of the best videos I've watched about Tunisia so far ❤️
such a cultural travel influence! always love your vlogs and appreciate how much effort your are putting into the edditing and the story telling
Pourquoi vous écrivez pas en français ici chez nous en Tunisie on comprend pas l'anglais notre langue officielle c'est le français salutations de Tunis Tunisie bab lakwess Farid
This is such a great video! Thanks! It doesn't only consist of different tourist things like food and places to visit, but a bit of education on the history and current politics, that's so great! I'm subscribing!
Incredible content 👏 I have seen many vlog of tunis, but I think this one really capture the atmosphere, with it bad and good aspect!
Also I really like your Mediterranean tour, I always says that we have a Mediterranean culture and we share a lot in commun with all the other Mediterranean countries ❤
Elena, loving your history session of countries you visit.
Tunisia is such a beautiful and your tour mixed with your presence made a fantstic video i love it
You inspire me so much! This video is so vibrant and the editing is just beautiful!
The cookie at 6:48 is Maqroudh a traditional Tunisian date filled cookie made with semolina and dipped in syrup.
You and your sister have the lovely eyes of the Adriatic Sea.
Think you have the best blog content of all time. They literally paint a story.
That was a beautiful entertaining vlog/documentary about Tunisie . I hope you guys had fun in my city and it was worth it 😊
WOW! how good you made our Tunisia look in this video ❤❤
Really an incredible journey #LittleMasisi.
Love from China 🇨🇳 ♥
突尼斯欢迎您 🇹🇳
this is my favorite series on youtube
Greetings and keep healthy, send our warmth regards from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 Have a wonderful day 😊
u made our country look so beautiful with this video thank u so much and u are welcome here again at any given moment 🫶🏽
This video was just bursting with interesting experiences. Absolutely loved it ❤
Greattt video W elena W edit W video I love how you introduce Tunisie too the world keep going the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤ thank you so much for sharing! Before watching this video I had no idea what the place is like. Love the busy street theme. So much fun.❤
Lovely ❤❤ its nice of u to share the history of Tunisia
this deserves more likes :) great content !!
it's really the best vedio i can say that it's representing my country i loooove it so much ! thank's a lot keep going
im gonna dig deep into this, im an 18 year old tunisian boy and i live amongst the most urban areas and i also lived with rich people and ive had rich friends so i assume i know 80% of teenagers and their mindset, when olfa said that she had confidence in the new generation, i really lost it because at the moment 95% of teenager are lost and stand for nothing, most of us are having an identity crisis due to the european and american culture being spread through social media, most of us have no standards and just live and go with the flow, we have no plans for tomrrow because we barely think for ourselves because we are so brainwashed through social media.
it's because olfa's perspective is so wrong, so she doesn't know what she's talking about
@@aymenmohsni8164 i wouldn't judge someone's opinion/perspective as wrong, but maybe olfa is being too hopeful, which is nothing new for us tunisians!
@@shadox.141 it's not because she's hopeful about the future, but about how she's exaggerating the present issues and a lot of what she said is wrong
It's just a teenagerhood era , when you grow up little bit (in your last 20's , 30's) you will become a "fully" Tunisian . So don't worry It's just a matter of time . We have all passed through this fluctuations !
the problem comes from your entourage my friend, try to find the right people who are open and ambitious.
Great video! I haven’t seen many Tunisia vlogs, thanks for sharing!❤
Love the video - great job Elena!
Hi! Good job on this vlog through which you succeeded to capture the hearty life of Tunis.
Just a small rectification though, what you ate at 14:17 is actually called ojja. It's a sauce in which eggs are poached among other additions. Slata mechouia is what you ate that first day Ia goulette at 2:25 which is a dip made of peppers, tomatoes, onions all grilled (hence the word mechouia)
ooo thank you for noting this!!!
@@ElenaTaberIf you were an official, close all the doors of the country in the face of homeless people like you
@@ElenaTaberSometimes a European or American tourist, hungry and homeless in his country, visits Tunisia to distort Tunisia on UA-cam😂😂It's really funny😂😂😂

Love this content. Come to south east Asia , Elena! We have amazing food. Hugs from Malaysia
Please do more of these series...👌🏻🥰😍
Nice presentation !! Welcome Tunisia ladies
Elena, can you pretty please do a video on how you pack for your trips? I love the outfits you bring on your travels and want to know if you use a capsule wardrobe, carry-on, or checked bag. Asking for when I plan my big trip around the world!
My fav in the series so far 🙏☺️
Wow, I haven't seen Damon since Damon & Jo. Nice to see him again!
Welcome to tunisia 🇹🇳♥️
the markets would be wonderful and the food!!!
I would say try exercise to be able to get to sleep. Maybe some calming/sleeping teas. Reading helps me fall asleep and try to stay off the phone. My new job I have to use a computer all day and talk to people so it wears me out so I don’t have issues sleeping now.
loved the video! great job
Really an incredible journey #LittleMasisi.
Love from China 🇨🇳 ♥
Welcome to tunisia 🇹🇳 💖
Thank you researching and showing all sides! 😍 The cookies/delights are called samsa, sooo delicious 🤤
Those sweets are actually called "makroudh", it's a semolina based cookie, stuffed with dates and soaked in syrup. On the other hand, samsa is a triangular shaped pastry made with brick sheet dough and filled with toasted and grounded almonds mixed with sugar and orange blossom water.
@@omarripoll2468 Oh yes you are right!! 😃 It looked like samsa for me when I checked quickly!
Overwheling video about my beloved Homeland, thank you really, i just wanted to comment Olfa's point of view. Tunisian women won it's place in culture, economy society and in every aspect since the down of time and History knows it, olfa is exaggerating. You've been there and saw how free people are and how determined and strong Tunisia ladies are. Thank you.
Welcome to Tunisie ♥️♥️
great vlog, although there is a lot more to see in tunisia but you made our country look really beautiful i really enjoyed it so thanks for that
