Gabriel, great video. I love when you get to walk n talk w/ the people of a town and we can learn so much! Do you use budget laptop so it won't be absconded? Vids look great: Giving me 2nd thoughts about Macs.
Gabriel I often admire your courage doing voice-overs. People must wonder who in the heck you are speaking to, much of the time! As a woman, I am not sure how comfy I would feel traveling in Arab countries by myself. But, the people seem to be quite nice to you so what is not to like, huh?
Hi Gabriel, I had almost had the exact same experience you had in Tunis! I.e. a local meeting me on the street, taking me to the same carpet store with the same panoramic view and showing me around the medina. The guy at the carpet store showing you around was a different one though, but his older assistant was there when I visited too! This brought back a lot of memories!
You can never be lonely in these places, there's always a friendly local willing to show you around...for a commission of course 🤣 I'm not a souq person but if I were I'd definitely choose Tunis over Marrakech, looks like a much more chilled experience
Some you win some you lose....in this case the "guide" certainly gave you a wonderful view ...and the stunning tiles on the roof.....plus the gorgeous "marriage rooms".....certainly worth the walk.. ..
Amazing video , I came from work had my lunch after 6 O'clock in the evening then watched your video its like going on vacation every three or four days . Thank you Gabriel for sharing us . I'm waiting for the next 👋
Definitely this makes me change my perception, the Medina is so alive but not overwhelming. I can only say the view on the top of that shop and how beautifully they keep that roof is worth it. That's a very ingenious way to bring people to a shop! Reminded me Jerusalem and Istanbul.
Thanks for sharing! I'll be visiting this October, so this helped me decide that I will buy a carpet here. I believe it's pronounced "tuneese", by the way.
That was a good idea to pay for a guide or we would have missed this gem. That Bed!!! @24:00 all I could think about was a strong wind would blow over those objects on the ledge. 😊
@@living_peace he doesn't need to be originally from kenya to watch the video from kenya,also there is a lot of arab influence and mnany ppl with arab names in kenya due the eastern trade and omani empire etc.
" I don't know what it is, but it is good ". . . . . . . . Famous last words !! 😂😂😂 Continued safe travels my friend, I simply can't get enough of your videos.
I'm happy for you Gabriel at least you enjoyed the capital . And hope you LL enjoy sidi bousaid... .. again sorry for that you didn't enjoy jerba island .... Enjoy Tunisian spicy food... Waiting for next vlog
Wowww what a nice Beautiful Shopping Center Market there in City of Tunis, a lot of nice traditional clothes, gift items,and Many more, 👏👏🎉👏👏👏😍 I love it,thank u so much sir Gabe for your wonderful walk around tour, Godbless all the Beautiful People of Tunisia 🇹🇳 Shukran, 🙏🙂 sending love greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍🙂👍👍👍🎉👏👏👏👏👏♥️
Hi Gabriel, there's no doubt the Arab countries created the hustle they're business-savvy people going into the Medinas are risk-taking ventures because they recognize the foreigners, and they try to capitalize on that knowledge. Those rugs are exquisitely beautiful in any room of the home. He put honey into the juice and sweetened it even more.
Hello Gabriel, the man who saw you near the mosque was saying that non muslims could not go in because there were prayers. As for the fruit that you keep on seeing it is prickly pear, once peeled and depending on its kind, it tastes good and it is popular also in Lebanon and Syria.
Started watching at 18:43 Thailand time, thank you for your videos, the 30th of August is here. I gave up traveling a long time ago and enjoy my peaceful existence in the Thai village outside of Nakhon Sawan with my Thai wife who works in the daytime I have enough money saved I can do without work but she likes what she does. I am a lazy 65-year-old while my wife is 12 years younger and I like some beer and Thai food. Peace
You should watch the movie "Patton" which has a depiction of the Battle of Kasserine Pass (just outside Tunis), the first battle between the US and Germany in WW2.
18:25 Hi Gabe, looks like the kid in the bike almost wiped out on his bike. Same situation happened to you in Morocco.. . Kid wiped on his bike (in Fez near the arch of Medina... I think on your previous Morocco vid), carpet shop tour, having a unexpected tour guides and the maze of medina. Looks like deja vu..
Thanks a lot for these videos, if you like beach with mountains in background you can visit tabarka and if you like to see the desert and the statwars filming location you can go to tataouine.
A little off topic Gabe but there is a couple very small Italian islands not far from the Tunisian coast; one being Pantelleria and the other Lampedusa. I hope to see you check out those islands someday from what I’ve heard they are lovely! Pantelleria is only 60km off the coast of Tunis and can be seen on a clear day I’ve read. Also In 2013 trip advisor rated a beach on Lampedusa “worlds best beach.”
I liked your "inside joke" about the sandals! From some of my travel experiences, non-muslims will be allowed in some mosques in the outer courts (outside gardens) but not inside the main building/s. That was definitely a worthwhile view of the city despite having the "run around" with that local guy.
Oh my heavens, when I go I will have to hire a guide to fend off carpet sellers! On the other hand I just loved the glimpses of clothing- I see tunic dresses in my future :)
Gabe, I see there aren't many cheap flights available out of Tunisia until 9/10. Yet you could always take a 10-hour ferry to Sicily for $25. Otherwise you could fly to Dakar for about $300, but I don't see many other options in the next week or so. You could always try and get a visa for Algeria, or explore more of Tunisia (there's lots more to see) and fly out in a week or so.
Gabriel you might have to buy something or give them a tip - I know it's very hard to buy anything when you travel because you heavy to Carry or to hard to pack
It was good Gabe stuck with that local shop owner for all that time to get the prize terrace view from the roof top; as the terrace itself was beautiful with all the tile work and design. . . :>/
Gabriel hello, I hope you are doing well & having a wonderful time throughout everywhere you travel, all of these videos were very informative & excellent. Wonderful work, it really did look like Greece in a lot of ways, very nice. I highly enjoyed these videos thank you for sharing your thoughts & experiences. Stay safe & I look forward to seeing more destinations. Peace & blessings to you! 🌹✌️🥰👍
"Getting Lost in....." clickbait!! LOL Worked for me, Gabe! Alas, I was disappointed you, in reality, did not get "lost" but it was a fun one for sure! I was agonizing over you walking through the shop area so quickly. Understandable for you, of course. But for me (Maybe many others?) my eye saw many things I wanted to touch and get a much closer look! I wondered if I could actually walk all through that amazing place and not buy a thing!! I did not notice haggling, which I really do appreciate. Question: What is this on the wall at 13:50? I saw it twice in two different places. Some of the numbers followed sequence but then would go all over the place. The squares are perfectly shaped.
I like that you always say that it was worth it when a hustler take you for a ride😂 I understand that it makes you feel better for not standing up for you self and say no to the hustler😂 Anyway you are doing a great job with your youtube channel 🙂👍
that not quiet right, since the saudien khalifat came to the erea and slowly made the people muslim the culture changed, before that the berbers and amzeigh where african traditional culture .
@@19bendunk Very false pre-islamic Berbers were more related to other Mediterranean population its totally common sense based on their geographical location . They were pagans and very influenced by Greeks and romans unlike african tribes under them who were more into spiritual religions.
I really enjoyed your walking in Medina. I guess that your next destination will be Greece for third time this summer. Nice video. Could you make a video with the settings in your camera?
Lol, if need be just say hi and keep on walking otherwise if a local ask you where you are from and you respond then it'll be like a fly on **** (lol). In other words, they will try and take you to their shop or take you on a tour (for a price of course). It is typical for all North African (Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, etc.) and Middle Eastern countries.
Sometimes a local can really make the difference.. he definitely took you to the places! So clean too.. impressive kind folks. Going to check out epidemic sound for audio tracks.. medieval music has no copyrights I think? 100 year rule... excellent crawl!
Man , I cant stand these random guys .. you want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and you want to find genuine people in the world but in the arab world you always feel like you are going to get jacked for your money especially if they want to "show you something" You have a lot of paitents man!
I hate. Carpet presentations …. The next thing they get out the lighter and try to burn it in front of me . OMG . It drives me crazy 😜 I was in the NAVY .
There is ancient ruins all over the country, the third biggest roman amphitheater in the world, most collection of mosaics in the world and a lot of great resorts,. only the first video when he walked into the weekly "souk" there was a lot litter , last 2 videos including this one its was much more cleaner and less busier than egypt.
They are good psycologists.they dont push you to buy but give you lot of informations and attentions That you gonna feel guilty not to give anything back.
Not yet, arrived yesterday. Hint: Three hour direct flight from Tunis. Two more videos coming from Tunisia and then another country, one that I've been to before.
You can watch Part 1 of my tour of Tunis here: th-cam.com/video/FcfpaJM1AHI/w-d-xo.html

Fantastic video. Tunisia seems interesting and nice. I loved this video. The view was amazing.
What I like about your vlogs is that you show off the beaten path places. Thank you. BTW I feel I have seen the country through you.
Definitely this makes me change my perception, the Medina is so alive but not overwhelming. I can only say the view on the top of that shop and how beautifully they keep that roof is worth it. That's a very ingenious way to bring people to a shop! Reminded me Jerusalem and Istanbul.
I like those open markets where as you walk by you can smell the leather of the products in the air...
Thanks for sharing! I'll be visiting this October, so this helped me decide that I will buy a carpet here. I believe it's pronounced "tuneese", by the way.
The tiling on the roof terrace and of course the view! It was worth it!
Gabriel, How can you make so many good video recently, so amazing!😇👏😊👍
Amazing video. Love the shops
Thanks for the video, terrific content, the Medinas of North Africa and the Arab world are exotic and interesting, such a contrast to the West.
some places in southern iberia and southern italy looks similar .
Thank you Gabriel for taking me every where ❤️
That was a good idea to pay for a guide or we would have missed this gem. That Bed!!! @24:00 all I could think about was a strong wind would blow over those objects on the ledge. 😊
The medina looks very interesting and lively!👍 It would be fun to walk around and browse for awhile🙂
Watching this video from Kenya
Can I ask how you have Arabic name? 🤔
As far as I know Kenya is not Arabic country
@@living_peace he doesn't need to be originally from kenya to watch the video from kenya,also there is a lot of arab influence and mnany ppl with arab names in kenya due the eastern trade and omani empire etc.
Really cool video. That view from the roof was amazing!

Amazing video with incredible view. Thank you for sharing that moments.

You should watch the movie "Patton" which has a depiction of the Battle of Kasserine Pass (just outside Tunis), the first battle between the US and Germany in WW2.
Great movie
Patton and Rommel were two of the most brilliant war strategists of modern times. Patton is an excellent movie, as is, "The Desert Fox".
Really very nice city
Good job Gabriel, showing always the truth. I was thinking about going in holiday in Djerba island, but after seeing the vlogs, nooo thank you :)))
18:25 Hi Gabe, looks like the kid in the bike almost wiped out on his bike. Same situation happened to you in Morocco.. . Kid wiped on his bike (in Fez near the arch of Medina... I think on your previous Morocco vid), carpet shop tour, having a unexpected tour guides and the maze of medina. Looks like deja vu..
I barely remember that from Morocco, but I'll trust you that it happened.
Thanks a lot for these videos, if you like beach with mountains in background you can visit tabarka and if you like to see the desert and the statwars filming location you can go to tataouine.
Seems like it is the Mexican fruit tuna ..nopales cactus,prickly pear , figue de barbarie
That guy led you to some primo rooftop views! Good instincts following him around - I probably would have lost my patience! :-)

Hi ,if your in the area, go and see the Roman Amphitheater, second only to the one in Rome ,fantastic condition.a must see, at El Jem .
Great sound track from the beginning.
Looking forward to our collaboration and travel together.

Wow Gabriel alot to see 😊😎☀️🌊❤
I enjoy your visits,to Tunisia,you should go to Hammamat, it’s one of the best city in Tunis
Come to Algeria 🇩🇿 it's just close to it

Gabriel you might have to buy something or give them a tip - I know it's very hard to buy anything when you travel because you heavy to Carry or to hard to pack
Not much of a shopper either but who doesn't love strolling through these ancient marketplaces filled with life, music & exotic aromas....
The modern clinical mall with it's awful din and musak pales in comparison.
It was good Gabe stuck with that local shop owner for all that time to get the prize terrace view from the roof top; as the terrace itself was beautiful with all the tile work and design. . . :>/

the fruit are CACTUS APPLES..very nice..try one !!

Tunisian are more middle eastern like Lebanon and Turkey than Africans even vibe ...

Yes northern africa have been more realted to the eastern mediterranean than the rest of africa since the anicent times.

Similar experience to Istanbul: you walk around the mosque and someone will invite you in their shop and try to sell you a carpet.
Yeah profiting from tourists

Do they have any Berber areas there, in the mountains? You should go there.
I wonder if the opening night scenes from The only Lovers Left alive was filmed in Tunis
Nice impressions of Tunis thanks a lot. My advice buy a carpet lol.
Nice !
Another great shift, turned out ok wort the surprise view, you nearly ended up with a carpet.🤷♂🤷♂was waiting for the sting from the business owner.
that food is called barbary fig taste it miserlt gab
Nice
