I went one weekend to the Isle of Kerkennah with two of my British and one of my New Zealand Friends. The weather was a bit rotten though so I didn’t stay but one night before trundling off to the next location.
Fishing traps in the shallows off of Kerkennah. They’re made out of palm fronds in the form of long V shaped fences that neck down and then open up into a round pen where the fish can be easily caught.
Most of the island looked like this.
The harbor of Kerkennah.
Loading vehicles onto the ferry back to the mainland. It was about a 15 kilometer journey across.
Sfax off in the distance.
A man-made mountain of radioactive phosphogypsum tailings which finds its home just south of the Medina at Sfax. There’s a large phosphate ore processing facility located in Sfax. It’s the most polluted place in all of Tunisia and one of the largest single point sources of pollution in the Mediterranean Basin.
Exploding vehicles, yellow trucks and tanker trucks with red liquid driving over ruts.
On top of the medina wall in Sfax. The Sfax medina is by far the best preserved and least touristy medina in all of Tunisia.
