Nestled atop a cliff overlooking the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, Sidi Bou Said enchants visitors with its blend of Andalusian charm and Tunisian tradition. With its famous blue and white houses, narrow winding streets, and vibrant café culture, this picturesque town offers a relaxing escape just a short drive from Tunis.

A Touch of History

Founded in the 13th century, the quaint village developed around the tomb of a revered Sufi saint, Abu Said al-Baji. Over time, it attracted artists, musicians, and writers, earning its reputation as a cultural haven. The distinct blue-and-white theme was introduced by French artist Rodolphe d’Erlanger in the early 20th century, which continues to define its unique aesthetic today.
