Exploring Zeus+Dione concept store on Mykonos

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Ζeus+Dione x Kessaris concept store conceived as a small Cycladic house harmoniously blends into the heart of Chora, looking towards the most scenic corner of Matoyiannia. For its design concept, Anastasia Kessari (who is also an architect) and Marios Schwab, artistic director of Zeus+Dione, joined forces. The Cycladic purity and clarity are exemplified by the white-washed cube walls and the yard’s pavement made of locally quarried stone. Representing the white foam of the Aegean Sea, the bright white shade is considered to be the less solar absorbent, thus maintaining a cool temperature inside the store during the summer months. The common subtle aesthetic of the interior and the exterior areas, combines tradition with modernism. Following local sustainable architecture, wood cladding has been used for windows, doors and furniture. The use of natural and raw materials continues inside, where the exposed wooden ceiling and the utter white marble floor are amplified by the black brass geometric decorative elements. The space is designed in such a way to frame unique views of the collections, allowing the light but keep the midday summer sun out. In the store, you can find all pieces from the S/S′22 ‘Pandora and the Trailing Serpent’ and the H/S′22 ‘Triere’ collections, available. Plus, a unique selection of accessories including clutches and bags in a number of different canvas and leather styles, visor hats, sandals, lucky charms and ornamental trinkets jewellery. Everything to ensure a memorable visit!

An obvious choice? For anyone who has wandered its cobbled streets and felt its unique soul, the answer is yes.

The hilltop village of Sidi Bou Saïd, with its immaculate blue-and-white façades, enchanting light, and deep spiritual aura, has reached a decisive milestone. UNESCO has officially accepted its nomination for the prestigious World Heritage List, recognizing its exceptional universal value. An obvious choice? For those who have experienced its magic, there is no doubt.

Why Does Sidi Bou Saïd Deserve a Place on the UNESCO List?

This acceptance is no coincidence. It is based on rigorous criteria, and Sidi Bou Saïd meets two of them brilliantly:
Criterion (ii): A Crossroads of Cultural and Architectural Influences
Sidi Bou Saïd stands as a rare example of architectural harmony in the Mediterranean. Its carefully preserved urban landscape reflects a seamless blend of Andalusian, Ottoman, and European influences. The aesthetic unity of its whitewashed houses, adorned with intricate wrought ironwork and majestic wooden doors, is a testament to a centuries-old cultural dialogue.
Criterion (vi): A Haven of Artistic and Spiritual Inspiration
More than just a village, Sidi Bou Saïd is a sanctuary of creativity. Since the early 20th century, it has captivated painters, writers, and musicians from around the world. Paul Klee, André Gide, and Simone de Beauvoir are just a few of the visionaries who found inspiration in its timeless beauty. Here, the call to prayer blends with the whispers of the sea breeze, creating an atmosphere where art and spirituality intertwine.

As UNESCO's evaluation process continues, one thing is clear: Sidi Bou Saïd is not just a candidate-it is a living masterpiece that already belongs among the world's cultural treasures.

Fashion is a dynamic and ever-evolving industry that reflects the cultural, social, and economic landscapes of its time. One of the most significant influences on fashion trends is cultural diversity. As the world becomes more interconnected, the blending of cultures has a profound impact on fashion, introducing new styles, fabrics, and aesthetics. This article explores the importance of cultural diversity in shaping fashion trends and how it enhances the industry by promoting innovation, inclusivity, and global awareness.

The Rich Tapestry of Global Fashion

Cultural diversity enriches the fashion industry by bringing a plethora of styles, traditions, and techniques from around the world. Each culture has its unique approach to clothing, influenced by history, geography, and social customs. For instance, the vibrant patterns of African textiles, the intricate embroidery of Indian garments, and the minimalist elegance of Japanese fashion all contribute to a diverse and rich tapestry of global fashion.

The Influence of Cultural Heritage

Fashion designers often draw inspiration from their cultural heritage, creating collections that celebrate their roots and introduce global audiences to traditional aesthetics. This fusion of old and new not only preserves cultural heritage but also reinterprets it for contemporary audiences. Designers like Stella Jean, who blends her Haitian-Italian heritage, and Prabal Gurung, who incorporates elements of his Nepalese background, exemplify how cultural heritage shapes modern fashion.

Cross-Cultural Collaborations

Cross-cultural collaborations have become a powerful trend in the fashion industry. By partnering with artisans and designers from different cultural backgrounds, fashion houses create unique collections that combine diverse influences. These collaborations not only produce innovative designs but also promote cultural exchange and understanding. Brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior have successfully integrated cross-cultural elements into their collections, setting new trends and expanding their global appeal.

The Rise of Ethnic Fashion

The increasing popularity of ethnic fashion is a testament to the growing appreciation for cultural diversity. Ethnic fashion celebrates traditional clothing styles and adapts them for modern use. From the colorful saris of India to the intricate beadwork of Native American garments, ethnic fashion highlights the beauty of cultural expression. This trend has also led to the rise of fashion brands that specialize in ethnic clothing, offering consumers a wide range of culturally inspired options.

The Role of Streetwear in Cultural Fusion

Streetwear has emerged as a significant cultural force, blending elements from various cultures to create a distinct and contemporary style. Influenced by music, sports, and urban culture, streetwear often incorporates motifs and symbols from different cultural backgrounds. This fusion has made streetwear a global phenomenon, resonating with young consumers who value authenticity and cultural diversity. Brands like Supreme and Off-White exemplify how streetwear embraces and celebrates cultural fusion.

Cultural Appropriation vs. Cultural Appreciation

While cultural diversity enriches fashion, it also raises important ethical considerations. Cultural appropriation, where elements of one culture are used by another without proper acknowledgment or respect, has become a contentious issue. Fashion brands must navigate the fine line between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, ensuring that they respect and honor the cultures they draw inspiration from. This involves collaborating with cultural representatives and giving credit to traditional artisans and designers.

The Impact of Globalization on Fashion

Globalization has accelerated the exchange of cultural ideas and styles, making it easier for fashion trends to spread across borders. This has led to the blending of cultural elements, resulting in hybrid fashion styles that reflect a globalized world. However, globalization also poses challenges, such as the risk of homogenizing unique cultural identities. The fashion industry must balance the benefits of globalization with the need to preserve cultural diversity.

The Role of Social Media in Promoting Cultural Diversity

Social media platforms have become powerful tools for promoting cultural diversity in fashion. Influencers and fashion enthusiasts from around the world share their unique styles and cultural heritage with global audiences. This democratization of fashion allows for a more inclusive representation of diverse cultures. Social media also provides a platform for marginalized voices, giving them the opportunity to showcase their cultural contributions to fashion.

The Economic Benefits of Cultural Diversity

Cultural diversity in fashion also brings significant economic benefits. By tapping into diverse markets, fashion brands can expand their customer base and increase their global reach. This is particularly important in today's competitive market, where consumers seek unique and culturally resonant products. Embracing cultural diversity allows brands to differentiate themselves and appeal to a broader audience.

The Future of Cultural Diversity in Fashion

The future of fashion lies in its ability to embrace and celebrate cultural diversity. As consumers become more aware and appreciative of different cultures, the demand for culturally diverse fashion will continue to grow. Fashion brands must commit to ethical practices, ensuring that they honor and respect the cultures they incorporate into their designs. By fostering inclusivity and promoting cultural exchange, the fashion industry can continue to thrive and innovate.

The Role of Education in Promoting Cultural Diversity

Education plays a crucial role in promoting cultural diversity in fashion. Fashion schools and institutions must incorporate diverse cultural perspectives into their curricula, exposing students to a wide range of styles, techniques, and traditions. This not only broadens students' creative horizons but also prepares them to work in a globalized industry. By prioritizing cultural education, fashion schools can cultivate a new generation of designers who value and celebrate diversity.

The Importance of Representation

Representation is key to promoting cultural diversity in fashion. Ensuring that diverse voices are heard and seen in the industry is essential for fostering inclusivity. This includes hiring models, designers, and creatives from diverse backgrounds and featuring their work prominently. Representation not only reflects the reality of a diverse world but also inspires consumers and fosters a deeper connection with fashion.

The Impact of Cultural Festivals on Fashion

Cultural festivals and events provide a platform for showcasing traditional clothing and fashion. These events celebrate cultural heritage and offer opportunities for cultural exchange. Fashion shows and exhibitions at cultural festivals highlight the creativity and craftsmanship of traditional garments, inspiring contemporary designers. Festivals like the Met Gala, which often feature themes related to cultural heritage, demonstrate the powerful intersection of culture and fashion.

The Role of Fashion Media

Fashion media plays a significant role in shaping perceptions of cultural diversity. Magazines, blogs, and online platforms have the power to highlight diverse voices and showcase culturally rich fashion. By featuring stories and interviews with designers from different cultural backgrounds, fashion media can promote a more inclusive and representative industry. Ethical journalism and responsible reporting are essential for fostering a culture of respect and appreciation in fashion.

2024 is witnessing a fusion of art, innovation, and global collaborations. It highlights partnerships like Catbird teaming up with the Met Museum, and Balenciaga's collaboration with artist Andrew J. Greene, which merge cultural heritage with modern fashion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fashion is always in flux, and 2024 is no different. With trailblazing partnerships like Catbird teaming up with the Met Museum, the boundaries of style are expanding in exciting and unexpected ways. Curious about what's next? Let's explore this year's trends, discover emerging material innovations, and examine how cultural institutions are redefining wardrobes.

The Intersection of Fashion and Art

Fashion and art have always intertwined, but in 2024, this relationship is intensifying. Brands are no longer just inspired by art - they're co-creating with artists.

The recent partnership between Balenciaga and Andrew J. Greene exemplifies this fusion, merging familiar items with Balenciaga's signature trompe-l'œil artistry. Among the array of original artworks on display, viewers will encounter a curious mix of everyday objects with high fashion. Expect high fashion to mingle with street murals, turning cityscapes into living runways and transforming daily wear into curated masterpieces.

Sustainable Collaborations Leading the Way

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword - it's the driving factor in today's collaborations that matter. The new Catbird and Met Collaboration is a shining example of how ethical practices can seamlessly blend with heritage influences. These alliances push boundaries while keeping the planet in mind, focusing on reducing waste, promoting recyclables, and creating zero-waste collections that balance responsibility with aesthetics.

Streetwear and High Fashion: Blurring Lines

Streetwear once lived on its own island. Now, it rules both urban landscapes and high-fashion runways more than ever.

Designers are effortlessly merging hoodies with haute couture, and joggers paired with tailored blazers are everywhere you look. Influential figures like Demna Gvasalia and Samuel Ross are at the forefront, easily integrating casual elements into luxurious ensembles. Everyday essentials are being transformed by luxury fabrics, elevating them from practicality to pure artistry. Comfort meets chic as "dressing up" redefines itself every season - thrillingly trendy yet timelessly cool.

Fashion Meets Tech: The Rise of Smart Clothing

In 2024, tech-savvy fashion is no longer just a novelty. Imagine garments that change color with your mood or fabrics that adjust temperature based on weather conditions. It's wearable tech at its finest, bridging practicality with futuristic flair.

Collaborations like Catbird and the Met are bringing classic artistry into modern smart textiles, making your wardrobe more interactive than ever before. From LED-embedded dresses at parties to fitness wear that monitors health metrics, fashion is merging with function in innovative ways.

Digital Fashion Shows: The New Frontier

Digital fashion shows are leading the way in 2024, streaming directly to devices globally. Designers are embracing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), offering immersive experiences accessible from anywhere. Virtual catwalks, dynamic animations, and synchronized music beats are transforming fashion shows into universally accessible spectacles, breaking traditional boundaries.

Collaborations Across Continents: Global Influences in Fashion

Fashion's boundaries are rapidly fading as designers from various cultural backgrounds come together, blending traditions effortlessly. The result is a wave of innovative creations that showcase multicultural influences, captivating a global audience and celebrating both unity and diversity in vibrant ways.

These collaborations produce striking pieces that merge heritage with cutting-edge design, such as Stella McCartney's collaboration with Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. This eco-conscious collection fuses McCartney and Sorayama's shared vision of desire, design, and technology, creating a unique synergy between their creative worlds.

These partnerships not only highlight our interconnectedness but also embody a spirit of global solidarity. A prime example is the recent collaboration between the French fashion label Kenzo and the Japanese sneaker brand Asics.

Such collaborations create lasting connections and deepen our appreciation for the shared artistic expressions that unite us all.

Embracing a New Era of Style Collaborations

We're stepping into a revolutionary era of fashion collaborations, where brands, artists, and cultural institutions are joining forces in unprecedented ways. Together, they're crafting collections that are not only innovative but also inclusive and refreshingly unique. From cutting-edge smart textiles to global partnerships that blend tradition with modern style, the possibilities are continually expanding.

This exciting movement embraces creativity without limits, celebrating unity through diversity and redefining what's possible in fashion. The future is bright and full of endless potential as these dynamic collaborations continue to reshape the fashion world.

Yellowbrick's article examines how cultural influences shape fashion and style, from traditional attire to modern trends. It discusses the materials, designs, and identity expressions that emerge from different cultural backgrounds, impacting accessories and overall fashion aesthetics

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Cultural Context of Fashion and Style
Fashion and style are not solely about individual expression, but are also deeply influenced by the cultural context in which they exist. From the vibrant colors of traditional garments to the sleek lines of modern designs, fashion reflects and responds to the cultural influences that shape our world. In this article, we will explore the various ways in which culture impacts fashion and style, from historical traditions to contemporary trends.
Traditional Garments and Attire
One of the most evident ways in which culture influences fashion is through traditional garments and attire. Different cultures have their own distinct styles and clothing traditions, which are often deeply rooted in history and heritage. For example, the vibrant and ornate saris worn by women in India are not only a reflection of the country's rich cultural heritage, but also a celebration of its diverse regional traditions. Similarly, the kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, is not only a symbol of elegance but also represents the values of modesty and respect.
Materials and Textiles
Cultural influences on fashion can also be seen in the use of materials and textiles. Different regions and cultures have access to different resources, which in turn shape the materials used in clothing. For instance, the use of silk in Chinese fashion is a result of the country's long history of sericulture and silk production. The intricate patterns and designs found in African textiles, such as the vibrant Ankara prints, are a reflection of the continent's rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
Social and Political Movements
Furthermore, cultural influences on fashion extend beyond traditional garments and materials to encompass broader social and political movements. Fashion has often been used as a form of protest or expression of identity. For example, during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, African Americans used fashion as a means to challenge societal norms and assert their cultural pride. The afro hairstyle and dashiki garments became symbols of black power and resistance.
Cultural Appropriation
In recent years, cultural appropriation has become a significant issue in the fashion industry. Cultural appropriation refers to the adoption of elements from another culture without understanding or respecting their significance. This can lead to the commodification and misrepresentation of cultural symbols, often perpetuating stereotypes and erasing the cultural context. It is essential for fashion designers and consumers alike to be mindful of the cultural origins of the styles they embrace and ensure that proper credit and respect are given.
Beyond Clothing
The influence of culture on fashion is not limited to clothing alone. It also extends to accessories, makeup, and hairstyling. For example, traditional African hairstyles like braids and locs have gained popularity worldwide, with many celebrities and influencers embracing these styles. Similarly, the use of traditional accessories like turbans, bindis, and henna tattoos has become a global fashion trend, often divorced from their cultural significance.
Conclusion
Fashion and style are deeply intertwined with cultural influences. From traditional garments and materials to broader social and political movements, culture shapes and informs the fashion choices we make. However, it is crucial to approach cultural influences with respect and understanding, avoiding cultural appropriation and embracing diversity. By doing so, we can celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that make up the world of fashion and style.

"Concept stores contribute to a diversified retail portfolio by attracting new and latent customers, reducing friction in the customer journey, and driving them to other touchpoints. They are not solely focused on sales or profit but aim to be accessible touchpoints that enhance the overall customer experience"

Concept stores often have flexible designs that allow for frequent changes in displays, product offerings, and store layouts. This keeps the shopping experience fresh and encourages repeat visits.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Concept store. You can't move now for new store openings that are described using those two words. Retailers have whole-heartedly embraced the concept of the concept store it seems.

Except they haven't. Or at least not what the concept store was originally conceived as. Instead the concept store of today's retail industry means something entirely different. The term has been hijacked and it doesn't look like it's going to be given back.

What is a concept store then?

The traditional concept store is a shop that sells a carefully curated selection of products that connect to an overarching theme, philosophy or lifestyle. They're inspirational spaces - both in terms of being places to discover new products and places where you can buy into an aspirational lifestyle.

Most concept stores have a certain target audience and handpick the products on sale from multiple brands and designers based on what might appeal. They also tend to sell all sorts of different lines from fashion to homeware, so that customers can adopt the lifestyle in an all-encompassing way (or just one element).

One of the mainstays of the concept store movement is Milan's 10 Corso Como. The space is envisaged as a '3D magazine' with café, roof garden, homewares, art, fashion, books and more to explore. The now Macy's-owned Story is another magazine-style concept which constantly rotates the products on offer. Merci in Paris and Barber & Parlour in London can also be described as concept stores. And of course, there are many, many more examples out there.

By presenting a lifestyle first, concept stores make retail a natural extension. Inspire customers enough and they'll want to buy products to make the lifestyle a reality.

What is it now?

So, what's changed? Most of the time when retailers now talk about opening a concept store, what they mean is a new retail concept for their brand. It's not the concept store as a multi-brand temple to a certain way of living. It's a new way of doing things for them.

One recent example is IKEA's small-format city centre stores. Starting with London, and now also in Paris and New York, they are very different beasts to IKEA's typical supersize spaces. Conceived as a way of getting into key city centres, these Planning Studios forgo the usual masses of products to focus on services that can be delivered from a smaller footprint.

Customers can go to these spaces to meet with an IKEA expert and plan their perfect kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. Once they know what they want they can place an order for delivery to their home. It's a great concept that allows IKEA to open more spaces but without the huge commitment of its traditional warehouses.

Likewise, Nordstrom has seen great success with its own small-format concept - Nordstrom Local. Created to act as a 'neighbourhood hub', Nordstrom Local spaces carry no inventory. Instead customers can access personal stylists to get personalised wardrobe suggestions. Products can then be ordered for delivery to the store where they are put into a fitting room ready for customers to try. Customers can also enjoy other services like manicures, tailoring and even a bar. It's a concept aimed at the time-poor - whether they just want somewhere to pick up and drop-off products, or a place where they can combine their shopping and their beauty needs.

A new retail concept doesn't have to be small-scale though. You could certainly say that Nike's huge Soho space in New York was a new concept for the brand with its half-size basketball court, test treadmills, soccer trial zones and greater array of services.

Nike continue to experiment with concept stores from the locally-minded Nike by Melrose space to its immersive Houses of Innovation. Some of these act as testbeds for ideas that can then be applied in other Nike spaces; some offer things you can't get elsewhere. At present though they're not the sort of concepts you'll see everywhere.

Why are retailers going all in on the concept store?

The new wave of concept store is often an experiment. It's a space that stands out among the rest of the brand's retail portfolio. For many, these new retail concepts are a response to external pressures from customer habits to online shopping. The way we buy has changed and this means the store has to change as well.

What today's concept stores do is give retailers freedom to try out new ideas, or in some cases, reinvent the perception of the brand. They can be more interesting or useful than a traditional store might be. The design can be more flexible with the ability to move things around more frequently.

CVS' new HealthHUB spaces in Houston are one example. This new concept sees more of the shop floor given over to services than products. Part of the stores are used for classes and health treatments, with customers also able to access professionals like dieticians and nurse practitioners. The HealthHUB's have also adopted a 'care concierge' to help direct customers enquiries.

The new approach moves the focus away from retail sales which are under pressure from online retailers. Instead, the HealthHUB is about hands-on care and support, as well as pharmacy related sales. It's a change in approach for CVS but that's exactly what the concept store is now about.

There's also a lot of value in these experimental new concepts. Retailers can use them to judge customer responses to new ideas and services before they roll them out across the wider chain. Successful store concepts can be adopted more widely wholesale, or specific elements can be put into the brand's other stores like Tiffany's new fragrance vending machines.

If something doesn't hit the mark, then it's not crippling for the brand in terms of lost investment. With many retailers still holding back from innovation because of beliefs about cost and time needed, the new concept store shows that you can test a minimum viable product and go from there. It's easier to keep adapting and improving one space as you learn than a whole chain.

What does the future of the concept store look like?

Evolution is a natural part of life. For the concept store this change of usage is likely to stick thanks to the efforts of the retail industry. In 2019 alone we've seen new retail concepts from Walmart, Celine, Carrefour, Tiffany, H&M, Dunkin', Belstaff and countless others.

There's sure to be more to come. New retail concepts have become a key part of the industry as every retailer works to conceive a physical model that appeals to today's customer. Be prepared to see and hear the words 'concept store' in new store opening conversations more and more. And to know that it means a new approach by that brand.

Of course, if the meaning of concept store has changed forever, then that means those traditional spaces need a new term of their own. Lifestyle store is one major contender. Although, given the way stores are going, the retail industry might just procure that one as well.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tunisia is universally known for its traditional clothing, all of which are embroidered with pure passion and precise meticulousness, in order to properly represent the impeccable ethnicity and distinct legacy of its enriching culture.

Hence, today we introduce you to one of the most distinguished traditional clothing of Tunisia, that being, "Sefseri".

Which is a 2 and a half meters of fabric woven in different ways, bringing out many types, from "Sefseri" made with silk,"Sefseri" made with cotton, "Sefseri" with black Targuia to "Sefseri" with Lahfa Mesria.

A woman wearing the Tunisian Sefseri in Sousse.

This fabric is also known for its cream color, except in the south where you can find it in multiple colors.

Now, despite its diversity, "Sefseri" has a unique significance that has been engraved through generations.

Thus, diving deeper into its background story, we hereby grant you the honour of discovering the meaning behind wearing it.

For the longest time, "Sefseri" has always been the direct reflection of modesty and devout nobility, which allowed him to travel through the ages to become a flagship and emblematic piece of national heritage.

It has also been known to have been worn by females in a way that enfolds their bodies' from head to ankle, in order to hide their female forms and prevent the men's curious looks.

Furthermore, although its eminent position in the last decades, its historical era came to an end with the Independence of Tunisia. Which resulted in wearing it only on occasions, like the bride's hammam during the wedding week, in order to revive a sense of our traditions.

Nonetheless, Tunisia's creative creators are still to this day eagerly taking on the good initiative to properly safeguard "Sefsari" 's beautiful wealth and modernize it through revisits, cultural events or even as all the female actresses did in the JCC of 2017, honoring its iconic figure.

Moreover,today, "Sefsari" can only be found in the souks of Medina El Arbi because of its traditional background.

In conclusion, "Sefsari " is still considered one of the indigenous clothing in Tunisia that shines upon us with its virtuous rays.

A charming cliff-top village that inspired the likes of Paul Klee, Michel Foucault, and André Gide, Sidi Bou Said needs little introduction. This idyllic seaside town is famed for its jaw-dropping white houses with elegant blue doors/shutters and picturesque cobbled streets lined with souvenir stalls, art galleries, and cute cafes.

The main activity in this quaint coastal town in Tunisia is getting lost in the small alleys, admiring the beauty of the striking blue and white color scheme, and discovering photographic corners and rooftops.

We've put together this travel guide which takes you to some of the finest tourist attractions in Sidi Bou Said and includes tips on best places to eat and where to stay.

Morning: The Mediterranean Garden of Sidi Bou Said

Your morning walk in Sidi Bou Said begins in Le Jardin Méditerranéen, a beautiful garden located in the heart of the old town. Opened about 20 years ago as a gift to Tunisia from Prince Albert from Monaco, the Mediterranean Garden of Sidi Bou Said is home to a variety of plants and trees including cactus, palm, and Jasmine flower trees. There is a nice fountain in the middle of the gardens, as well as a few shaded benches where travellers can sit down and enjoy nature.

D'Art Des Métiers De Lella Salha

Walk towards Rue Habib Thameur, the main street in the historical area of Sidi Bou Said. Here, you will find D'Art Des Métiers De Lella Salha, a gallery with a permanent exhibition of original works from local artists. There is handcrafted jewelry, artistic ceramics, silk paintings, and much more. The gallery also does the restoration of old furniture and offers painting lessons.

Ennejma Ezzahra Palace

The main tourist attraction in Sidi Bou Said is this lavish palace built in the early 20th century. Commissioned for Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, a French painter and musicologist, and his wife Elizabetta, Ennejma Ezzahra Palace is known for its mix of traditional Andalusian design and Modernist architecture. Nowadays, the palace houses a lovely museum filled with ornate furniture, marble floors, and a vast collection of Baron's paintings. You can also explore the well-maintained gardens and enjoy majestic views across the Mediterranean Sea.

Centre des Musiques Arabes et Méditerranéennes

Within the Ennejma Ezzahra Palace, there is a section devoted to music and musical instruments. Step inside the upstairs music gallery to find an assortment of traditional musical instruments on display, as well as gramophones. The Center for Arab and Mediterranean Music also serves as a cultural center that hosts a number of concerts of local and international musicians throughout the year.

Afternoon: Palais Dar Turki

An extraordinary historic venue designed in classic Arab-Andalusian style, Palaic Dar Turki is probably the most beautiful building in Sidi Bou Said. Today, it is mostly used as a guesthouse and a venue for wedding ceremonies and teambuilding events. Ring the bell to have a peek inside the house and its majestic courtyard.

Rock the Kasbah

Your next stop is an original concept store situated inside a gorgeous Tunisian house. Run by a Parisian stylist-decorator Philippe Xerri, Rock the Casbah is such a beautiful shop where you can purchase retro furniture inspired by designs from the 1950s, handcrafted jewelry, Tunisian rugs, and different souvenirs. It's definitely not the cheapest shop in the city, but they do delivery.

Museum Dar El Annabi

If you wish to know how wealthy people lived in Sidi Bou Said back in the day, pay a visit to this authentic Tunisian house transformed into a fabulous museum. Built near the end of the 18th century, this summer resort showcases several decades of Tunisian history. The self-guided tour includes a visit to the bedrooms, lounges, prayer hall, and a private library. Visitors also have access to a gorgeous Andalusian garden. For panoramic views of the city, climb the rooftop terrace. Upon arrival, guests are served with a cup of complimentary tea.

A.Gorgi Gallery

We end the day with a visit to this highly regarded gallery in the center of Sidi Bou Said. Founded back in the 80s, A.Gorgi Gallery is one of the oldest art galleries in the city. It is run by Aïcha Gorgi whose mission is to showcase the work of young contemporary Tunisian artists. If you wish to see works of local artists, A.Gorgi Gallery is where you want to go. The gallery participates in many international contemporary art events such as the popular Art Brussels and 1:54 London.

Day 1, Afternoon - Sidi Bou Said Tour Map

Morning: Plage de Sidi Bou Said

Below the hills of the village lies this lovely sandy beach known as Plage de Sidi Bou Said. The secluded beach is protected from the waves, making it an ideal place to go swimming in its shallow waters. There is a beach/snack bar where you can get something to eat and drink. They also rent umbrellas and sun beds. Unfortunately, there is no shower here. Paid parking is available throughout the area.

Located right next to the beach, the town's port and a yacht harbour is a nice place to walk around and check out luxurious boats. Sidi Bou Said Harbour is where you will find a few beautiful restaurants and cafes.

Sidi Bou Said Viewing Point

This is definitely the best spot for awe-inspiring views of the village and the Mediterranean Sea. From the harbor, climb the "Chain of the Reformers" stairways until you reach this stunning viewpoint. The panoramic views of the sea, the blue and white buildings, and the fishing boats on the docks are simply breathtaking. Make sure to pack sunscreen if you are visiting the viewpoint in summer, as there is little shade here.

Café des Délices (Café Sidi Chabaane)

For more jaw-dropping views of the Mediterranean Sea and the harbor, stop for a snack/drink at Café des Délices. It is a touristy spot and definitely much more expensive than other cafes in the city. But, in reality, you are paying for the views when having drinks and food at Café des Delices. The open-air café is spread across two terraces and offers the most amazing views, as well as basic drinks like coffee, juice, and mint tea with almonds. They also have a food menu with favorites such as shawarma and fresh croissants.

Afternoon: La Mosquée De Sidi Bou Said

Our afternoon walk begins on Place du 7 Novembre where you will find the town mosque. Not that easy to find, La Mosquée De Sidi Bou Said is a small mosque hidden in a tiny alley. You can admire the beauty of its exterior and visit the prayer room.

Galerie Saladin

A small gallery located in an alleyway in the center of the village, Saladin showcases works of local artists. The owner, Ridha Souabni hosts different exhibitions throughout the year and is always down for a chat with tourists.

Sidi Bou Said Park

Take a break from sightseeing and spend a few hours in the largest park in Sidi Bou Said. Spread across approximately 15 hectares of land, this green oasis includes a variety of facilities including a soccer field, a small botanical garden, a playground with swings for the little ones, and a few bars where you can sit down for a drink. There is also a beautiful lake with a fountain, a fitness track in case you wish to work out, and an amphitheater.

Other things to see in Sidi Bou Said

Sidi Bou Said Lighthouse: Constructed in the 19th century and nestled on a hill, the lighthouse in Sidi Bou Said is the oldest lighthouse in all of Tunisia. The main purpose of this lighthouse with a cylindrical tower was to guide navigators and guard the coasts against the invaders. Nowadays, it is a popular spot to enjoy mesmerizing sunset views.

Mashrabiya: As you walk through the historic center of the village, you will notice beautiful blue windows everywhere you turn. These special windows are called Mashrabiya and can often be seen in Arabic residences. The main purpose of Mashrabiya is to provide privacy and allow residents to look out outside the window without being seen by other people. These windows also come with a wooden screen that can be opened and provide shade and fresh air during the hot summer season.

Day trips from Sidi Bou Said

Carthage: Located just 2 kilometers from Sidi Bou Said, the archaeological site of Carthage is easily reachable by car and public transport. It is one of the most important historical landmarks in Tunisia. You can explore the giant Roman amphitheater that could accommodate nearly 50,000 spectators, walk through the ruins of the Roman Baths, and see remains of temples, Roman houses, basilicas, and water cisterns.

La Marsa: A popular summertime destination with a breathtaking coastline, La Marsa makes for an easy day trip from Sidi Bou Said. It takes about 10 minutes by car to reach this beautiful coastal town with verdant hills, a charming boardwalk, and a picturesque beach with turquoise waters. Apart from the beach, La Marsa has a cool fortified palace from the 16th century called Abdalliya Palace. You can also catch a movie at Cinema Alhambra Zéphyr, a beautiful old-fashioned cinema room.

Gammarth: A 20-minute drive from Sidi Bou Said takes you to Gammarth. With its luxuriously designed white villas, all-inclusive 5-star resorts, and gorgeous sandy beaches, this vibrant town on the Mediterranean Sea is an ideal destination for a day trip.

Best golf courses in Sidi Bou Said

The Residence Golf Course: Located just 10 kilometers from Sidi Bou Said, this stunning 18-hole golf course is set in the heart of a natural reserve and is known for its 14 beautiful lakes, views of the Mediterranean Sea, and pristine greens and fairways. The Residence Golf Course also boasts a modern clubhouse and a restaurant.

Racecourses in Sidi Bou Said

Hipódromo de Ksar Saïd: You will find Hipódromo de Ksar Saïd in the nearby town of Den Den, just a 40-minute drive from Sidi Bou Said. The racecourse hosts many major events throughout the year.

Things to do with kids in Sidi Bou Said

Parc Sidi Dhrif: An ideal place for kids to play and run around, Parc Sidi Dhrif is located on the outskirts of the town. It is a lovely spot for walking and jogging and offers wonderful sunset views.

Parc de Loisirs TRAMPOLIA: It takes about 20 minutes by car to reach Parc de Loisirs TRAMPOLIA, a fun indoor trampoline park for both children and adults. There is a café with a place to sit and watch the little ones play on the trampoline.

Eat Bambalouni: If you are visiting Sidi Bou Said with your kids, make sure they try the popular North African doughnut also known as Bambaluoni. This sweet Tunisian doughnut can be sprinkled just with sugar or with honey. Crispy on the outside and very soft and warm on the inside, Bambalouni can be found just about everywhere in the city center stalls.

Walk down Rue Habib Thameur: This is the main street in Sidi Bou Said. There are no cars here, so you and your kids can safely walk around and explore the area. Rue Habib Thameur is lined with shops offering all kinds of souvenirs from ceramics and rugs to postcards and magnets.

Where to eat in Sidi Bou Said

Dar Zarrouk: A beautiful courtyard garden with twinkling lights and a breathtaking view of the bay of Tunis, delicious authentic Tunisian food, and fast service make Dar Zarrouk one of the best dining establishments in Sidi Bou Said. Start with the octopus appetiser, move on to signature dishes like seafood risotto, lamb couscous, and Tunisiak brik, and for dessert, order a slice of pistachio cake.

DaPietro Sidi Bou Saïd: If you are in the mood for pizza, go to this charming Italian restaurant in Sidi Bou Said. DaPietro offers a nice selection of reasonably priced pizza and pasta dishes. Service is swift and the portions are more than adequate. We recommend spaghetti with seafood and capricciosa which comes with a generous amount of tasty cheese.

Restaurant Chargui: Located in the center of the town, this lovely restaurant has one of the best terraces in Sidi Bou Said. It's all about traditional Tunisian food at Restaurant Chargui. Order ribs with couscous or get the delicious seabream. Book a table on their terrace for the most amazing sea views.

Restaurant El Bey: A family-run restaurant tucked away on a peaceful street in the student district, Restaurant El Bey is a great choice for travellers who wish to escape the city center and try authentic Tunisian cuisine. The owner, Sami did a fantastic job with this local restaurant. The home bread called tabouna is just perfect, as well as chapati with fries and makloub. Keep in mind that this is a small restaurant with just a few tables. Reservations are recommended.

Au Bon Vieux Temps: This romantic garden restaurant with majestic views of the Mediterranean Sea is an ideal venue for a date night. They do Mediterranean and Tunisian gastro-style dishes such as Tunisian brik (tuna and vegetables), seafood spaghetti, and vegetarian couscous. For dessert, have a slice of chocolate fondu. The sunset views here are quite spectacular, so it's best to book a table one hour before sunset and ask for a table close to the window.

Pizza Positano: With its crispy crust, generous toppings, and mouthwatering tomato sauce, pizza at Positano is crafted to perfection. It is a small restaurant with about 10 tables and a wood-fired Italian oven in the back. Try quattro stagioni and quattro formaggi.

Malibu Sidi Bou Saïd: Visit a casual eatery that has become extremely popular because of one dish on its menu. Most people come to Malibu Sidi Bou Saïd for their signature shawarma plate with turkey meat. The restaurant also offers crispy fish plates, as well as fresh fruit smoothies.

Elbarkoun: For more traditional Tunisian food delicacies, go to Elbarkoun. The owner is a lovely lady who does all the cooking here. The restaurant is tiny, the service is not as fast as in touristy restaurants, by the food here is sublime and definitely worth the wait. It basically feels like dining in a private Tunisian home. What should I order? Get the Tunisian brik, seafood spaghetti, and couscous with octopus and squid. They also make their own harissa which is great. Entry to the restaurant is through a small shopping mall, but there are signs so you can't miss it. We also like the artistic décor and the balcony.

Bambalouni Sidi Bou Saïd: Covered in either sugar or honey, Bambalouni is the most popular Tunisian street food desert. It is a doughnut with a light texture that you can find anywhere you look on the street. The best place in Sidi Bou Said to try this popular Tunisian doughnut is Bambalouni Sidi Bou Saïd, a hole-in-the-wall eatery that has been around for almost 100 years. The doughnut is fried right in front of you. Order Bambalouni coated in sugar or with a chocolate & hazelnut spread.

Where to stay in Sidi Bou Said

The best time to visit Sidi Bou Said

The summer season (June to September) is the peak season in Sidi Bou Said. During this time of year, many holiday package tourists visit the town to enjoy the lovely weather and to go swimming on the beach. The only downside of visiting Sidi Bou in summer is that it can get really hot with temperatures averaging between 27 to 35 °C. Therefore, we believe that the best time to visit this part of Tunisia is during the shoulder season in March to early April, or October to November, as that's when you can enjoy clear skies, and pleasant temperatures, and get better deals on accommodation.

Sidi Bou Said Festivals

International Poetry Festival: Sidi Bou Said is famous for its International Poetry Festival which is usually held every year in June. The festival attracts both local and international poets. There are workshops, poetry performances, and interactive programs.

33 Rue Majorelle is the epitome of modern souvenir shops in Marrakech. It is at the forefront of a new movement that seeks to populate Marrakech with extremely modern concept stores. Unsurprisingly it is located across the street from the splendid and uber fashionable Jardin Majorelle―designer Yves Saint Laurent’s gift to the city of Marrakech.

For all the noisy charm of Marrakech's old city, with its twisting souks, grand La Mamounia hotel, and stately Koutoubia Mosque, one of the most popular tourist destinations remains the Majorelle Garden-once owned by, (and now the eternal resting place of) fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Hordes flock to the magnificent walled oasis of lush trees and sculptural cacti to pay homage to an artist who found a place in haute couture for the motifs of his beloved Morocco.

Visitors hoping to bask a bit longer in YSL's afterglow are well advised to nip just across the street to 33 Rue Majorelle, a concept shop that has certainly embraced something of Saint Laurent's spirit. Founded in 2010, this thoroughly modern trio of spaces-a boutique specializing in housewares and clothing, a snack bar, and a salon offering furniture, art, and a place to repose-is dedicated to the union of contemporary design and Morocco's famed craftsmanship.

Though the shop represents over 60 designers, mostly from Morocco, co-owner Yehia Abdelnour is quick to turn the focus to the local maâlems, or master craftsmen, who make the majority of what's on view. Asked what inspired the shop's tight edit of furniture, linens, apparel, and objets, he cites Morocco's "abundance of skilled artisans, the vibrant and bold colors, the rich hues, the geometric ornaments, and the handcrafted textures." And at the risk of sounding unduly brash, he asserts, "There's no other shop quite like this in Marrakech. In all Morocco."
