SIDI BOU SAID got its name from the name of the righteous saint Bou Said bin Khalaf bin Yahya al-Tamimi al-Baji (1156-1230). One of the most famous landmarks of Sidi Bou Said is the Palace of "Nujma al-Zahra", which was built by the English Count "Erlanger" and was later converted into a museum that displays musical instruments and holds classical and Arabic music concerts. The origins of Sidi Bou Said date back to the time of the Phoenicians who founded the city of Carthage. Mount Sidi Bou Said was then called "Jabal al-Manar" or "Jabal al-Marsa", and this mountain was used to monitor and fortify Carthage. It was officially named "Sidi Bou Said" when a municipality was established in this place in 1893. The Tunisian town of Sidi Bou Said is the third most beautiful town in the world according to "Time Out" magazine and its website specializing in international statistics, and it was the only Arab and African town included in this important classification. The German town of Rothenburg came in first place, while the Indonesian town of Wai Rebo, located on the island of Flores, came in second place. We note that "the Greek Santorini wanted decades ago in 1967 to imitate Sidi Bou Said by painting its buildings white and its doors and windows blue, and the Greek authorities asked their Tunisian counterparts for permission to do so and were granted permission. However, some people in the region imitate Sidi Bou Said without permission in order to rob its tourists, visitors and lovers, but the imitation came distorted and did not live up to the magic of Sidi Bou Said and its global influence. Among the most prominent writers, poets and historians who immortalized the memory of Sidi Bou Said are George Duhamel, Andre Gide, Charles Lallement, Mounier, Jacques Raffault, Max Paul Fouchet and others. Sidi Bou Said was visited by leaders, chiefs, presidents and kings from various countries of the world who heard about it and its widespread fame and insisted on visiting Tunisia to see it to enjoy its beauty, charm and pure air. The late King of Pop Michael Jackson visited Sidi Bou Said on the occasion of his historic concert in Tunisia in 1997, and was amazed by it

Great that's what I like to do I am a real estate agent plus I like to travel and I want to build my Travel Channel

Provincetown, MA

We should travel together. ! Oh to have that life. With one person you enjoy. I solo travel too. Go together and have our own bubble! 🙌 I’m a good protector with others. Would love that in return one day. Would be unstoppable and always kind. Just makes it better when things go wrong or aren’t welcoming etc as you say. And facts depends on what you are looking for or where you end up I know exactly what you mean tho. Happened to me in Thailand I got ripped off central. Suppose to be a Mecca for cheapness and I paid the same food prices as I was paying in Canada and things.

Nice video!! I hope I'm not making a huge mistake by booking a two-night trip to Naousa for the first week of April 2025. I live in Arizona (and am a bit tired of the hot temperatures 😂) and want to take a trip and enjoy 50-70 degree weather.

Question: is there some secret behind the way you pronounce Khmer as something like "Kamai"? Never heard that with a vocal between the k and the m, and I was there 14 years ago...

Sidi Bousaid is much older than Santorini

Yo! I'm about to go to Malta to portray Olive Oyl in Mellieha on the former film set of Popeye lol. Thanks for making this video.

Wow, so beautiful. Such an amazing and underrated country. Will definitely visit it ❤

Hope the algos pick this underrated gem up because this episode is a masterpiece 👏🏻 you deserve 100k subs

Don’t forget about Imerovigli because that’s chefs kiss

Gotta say that this new format is what you’ve been needing for a while. Good stuff man!

Sooooo Tunisia or Morocco?

I don’t blame anyone from Central Europe for going out there, it’s a vibe at Zrce 😅

Ugh yes more of this type of video! Don’t get me wrong I love the episodes, but this helps me plan so much. Do one for Rome please!

Keep with these videos because we’ve needed a format like this from you for years!! 👏

Ok so question… how long is long enough to visit zrce for a group of friends??

Decision fatigue is real and I really appreciated your "get to the point" and no nonsense recommendations - ie stay here, do this, etc rather than descriptions which really don't help you make a decision. I'm now clear on what yo do. Also - do you need your drivers license to rent an ATV? I forgot mine at home!

I absolutely loved the video ❤ you’ll always be welcomed man!

Very helpful, thanks man!

oh nice place! Visited this island for the first time this year.. amazing nature. Thanks

Thank you for the overview. I'm Croatian, but I never went to Zrče. I prefer beaches with the least amount of people and noise possible 😁 and with natural shade. Just a tip... It's actually very easy to pronounce Croatian. Adding a sign above a letter is like putting an "h" behind a letter in English: č, ć = ch š = sh ž = zh (as in dr. Zhivago) So kuća is kucha (not kuka), and Šimuni is Shimuni (not Simuni).

I been to Czech a Long Time Ago when I use to live in Switzerland, Beautiful Country 💪🙌👍👍👍🙏✌️👌

I love going to places I can’t pronounce!

Lovely video on our home island! So nice to see someone who appreciates it on a deeper level making content at this level. Who needs TV studios right?? Next time you're around we'd love to take on the challenge of adding some stones you may have left unturned in your 6 visits already.. or an extra cameraman/ woman if that doesn't go against solo travel policy <3

Seriously, why do Czechs love this place so much? 🤔

Bishhh not the intersection between chlamaydia and gonorrea

Tunisian here, I found your channel researching Zakynthos, and I like how sober and laid back this channel is. The script, the narration, the selection of places to go, and the filming, well done ! 05:24 -- You can see the shop owner was surprised by the "God bless you" you said in Tunisian dialect (Baraka Allahou fik), this is what a true local would say. Most tourists just use the classic arabic "shukran" which is not used by the local dialect, or "merci" inherited from the historical french colonial times. 15:00 -- I appreciate the effort put to research authentic folk Tunisian music to play in the background, it is typically played in weddings and other festivities by the locals. Here it is for those asking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqKrgoN-ppyEaM0 There is still a lot to see in Tunisia, but this was already a treat

hey Mitchell, thank you so much for the outstanding work of documenting this for solo travelers !! I wanted to ask about the boat rental, whether you need any type of international driver license to rent it ?

The most hilarious oxymoron ever: REAL INFLUENCER! This whole insipid video is a MONUMENT TO GENZ VANITY! Go back to Miami and find another way to hack your way through life. Obviously, you couldn't tough it out in real estate. The same goes for those other caricatures of "influencers" riding on your tawdry little bus. Yikes, how vacuous is it possible to be?

Loving this new fomat

Hi Mitchell! I really loved your video! I'm contemplating joining a friend in Borneo. Your videography is so beautiful you could've said anything, but I appreciate the honesty. You touched on SO many things, I found it really helpful and insightful. BTW, how did you get the tracking shots of yourself? Really nice job!

I'll never buy a miami condo. I've heard too many HOA horror stories. You spend all that money to purchase it and then you get to pay "rent" with HOAs and property tax that can and will continue to sky rocket. What a joke

Very nice guide and great video man!

Ok Thank you I'm researching for next year Your description was what I was looking for Cheers

welcome ❤️🇹🇳

Antiparos is really nice. it's only a few minutes by ferry. we went for dinner one night and spent a few hours there then came back to Paros.

I would like to see a couple of episodes regarding neighborhoods in Miami, for example brickell, south beach and Miami design district. People love to see Miami so maybe that’s an idea to record next if possible for you.

So beautiful 😍😍😍

Let's goooooo

Yehhhhhhh

Great video. Could you please share the shource of the map you used at 4:16 ?

Loving this new format! TBH your channel has needed this a while ago so I’m happy you’re doing I not

Felini would be proud Mitch

Jatiluwih looks absolutamente increíble 🫢 Ubud looks like heaven!! Well done as always

Here I was thinking Minnesota was just cold!

Simply incredible 😁😁

Great advices ❤

Mitchell you must learn Greek to speaking intermediate level , the locals open their hearts and homes to whoever xenos tries, to speak their language. They all speak perfect English in zakynthos but still try. It's time you leave behind your American side and go a, step deeper level of experiencing Greece island talking with them among the farmers and locals.
