This is a very elegant place with gold and green cupolas as well as a marble courtyard

as well as green tiled arches

The interior was impressive. There was a large crystal chandelier hanging on the top

The mihrab inside the mausoleum

Tomb of the unknown soldier

This modest octagonal structure is a symbolic grave for all Tunisian soldiers who fought for the freedom of their homeland

When we came out we noticed some camels had appeared. They were dressed up (wearing a hat) and their masters would ask for money for photos... poor things

Another working animal... this carriage was a lot nicer than the one we had in Nefta before.

On the way back to the train station we saw it again, it seems someone had employed its services.

Mini road trains for tourists. We saw a few in Sousse. These were good as alternatives to taxis and buses if you don't mind the speed and heat
