   Tunis

   Trecere fără oprire

   As you step into Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, you're greeted with a warm "Marhaba!"

Tomorrow promises exploration of both areas. Your adventure kicks off with a welcome meeting at 6 PM. Before that, take some time to wander the streets and sample local delights like lablabi, a comforting chickpea soup, or tajine, which offers a unique twist compared to its Moroccan counterpart. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss the chance to try bambalouni, a delightful deep-fried doughnut.
