To get to Monastir, we took the 'metro', which is more like a regional train. This was the Bab Jedid station in Sousse

Interesting mosaic patterns on the platform

Compared to the trains to El-Jem, these trains were a lot frequent (every 45 min)

and the inside compartment was a lot cleaner too...

We boarded the train and soon enough someone told us we were on the wrong train, so we got out and waited in the other platform...

After half an hour's journey, we finally arrived in Monastir

After a short walk from the train station, we arrived Bab el-Gharbi, which is the entrance to the medina

Passing through Bab el-Gharbi, we soon reached the heart of the medina - Place du 3 Septembre 1934

This is the way where we came from

The medina here is of a much smaller scale than Sousse or other cities in Tunisia.

You can't miss the beautiful Bourguiba Mosque on the way to the sea front.

Built in 1963, the Bourguiba mosque can house 1000 worshippers.
