    #Driver around Tunisia, North Africa The Bardo National Museum is considered the most famous "mosaic museum" in the world. There are nearly 40 exhibition halls in the museum, which display artworks from the prehistoric period, the Phoenician and Carthaginian period, the ancient Roman period, the establishment and spread of Christianity, and the Arab Islamic period. Among them, the mosaics of the ancient Roman period are absolutely among the best in the world in terms of quantity and quality. These mosaics reflect the pastoral life, natural scenery, fishing and hunting, sailing, sports competitions, dramas, songs and dances, funeral ceremonies, myths and religious stories of the time. The colors are coordinated and exquisite. Although they have a history of nearly 2,000 years, they are still as bright as new.

    Departing from Tozeur Against the scorching sun We are driving on the 100-kilometer-long Salt Lake Highway Arriving at the northern edge of the Sahara Desert The Jared Salt Lake covers an area of ​​more than 5,000 square kilometers. The five largest salt lakes in the world are, in order: Uyuni Salt Lake in Bolivia Qinghai Qarhan Salt Lake Jared Salt Lake, Tunisia Great Salt Lake, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA and the Dead Sea in the Jordan Swamp Valley in Israel. Jared Great Salt Lake Although it is a lake But no lake It is located in a desert area and the temperature is high during the day. Highly salty lake water evaporates quickly crystallized into salt All I could see was the nearly dry exposed salt layer. The endless snow-white land as far as the eye can see Crystals may be like little roses or like a wave Really pretty salt lake The salt content is several times higher than that of sea water It is one of the most salty bodies of water in the world. A desert miracle A simple French-owned salt factory nearby Specializing in industrial snow salt for export Looking over the edge of the Salt Lake There is actually a mirage scene It’s so amazing~

    Sousse Medina Old Town, where the local conditions and customs of Tunisia are best reflected. Medina, which means old town in Arabic, refers specifically to the city where Arabs traditionally live. It is the soul of a city. Tunisia has seven world cultural heritage sites, four of which are related to Medina, which is the best preserved. The old town of Medina still retains the style of hundreds of years ago, presenting a bustling Arab market scene. Citizens are busy buying and selling goods, and middle-aged nobles are smoking Arabic hookahs, female college students are reading, and children are happily playing football. Everything seems to be going back in time. See the world as you wish.

    The Agrabit Reservoir in Kairouan is an important water source in Tunisia. The design here is very characteristic of the local area. One of the large pools is covered with sheepskin and camel skin to collect rainwater, which then flows into the large pool for sedimentation. This is an important source of purified water. It is really very imaginative and worth a visit.
