This was a new site for me. It’s near Zaghouan. This is a pretty neat site.
Okay so this picture is actually at Zaghaouan at the Water Temple.
Thuburbo Majus.
Along the Coast
We drove between Sfax and Sousse on the road along the coast. We stopped off in Mahdia near sunset.
Mahdia.
Sousse from the Ribat.
Sunrise from the Abou Nawas Bou Jeffar hotel where we stayed for a couple of nights. We spent Christmas Eve there. It was an experience along the lines of the one we had at Luxor in Egypt back in 2000.
Around Gabes
The Gabes Groupe Chimique Tunisien industrial complex. I’d hate to think what’s in that air!
A roadside stand.
Libyan gas for sale. The price of gasoline in Tunisia is government set. In Libya the gas is much cheaper. People actually drive several hundred kilometers from Libya into Tunisia to sell the gas at a slightly lower price than the official Tunisian price which turns them some sort of a profit. That gas must just about be free in Libya to make the economics work out!
I wonder how often these roadside gas stands explode?
