Stories Set in Tunis
Tunis sits on a lake near the Mediterranean in northeastern Tunisia, with an old town below newer avenues. Ottoman beys and then a French protectorate from 1881 to 1956 shaped its souks and suburbs, and protests that forced change in 2011 passed through its streets. As I Open My Eyes follows musicians there, while Ashkal sets a police inquiry in its gardens. Open Tunis on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
