The Decorated Bricks of Tozeur

Materials and Local Brickworks From Destination-Tunis.fr (“Visite d’un atelier de fabrication de la brique de Tozeur”): Clay source : The clay used for Tozeur bricks is extracted from areas about 7 km outside the city, near the salt lake Chott El Jerid . Mixture : The recipe is simple but precise: roughly two-thirds clay + one-third sand , mixed with water to achieve the right consistency. Fuel : For firing the bricks, craftsmen use palm wood (cuttings and offshoots from local palm groves), which gives the bricks their distinctive warm color. Production steps: Mixing : Clay, sand, and water are combined manually into a dense paste. Molding : Wooden molds (kept damp so the paste doesn’t stick) are filled, smoothed, and carefully removed to create clean blocks. Drying : The raw bricks are sun-dried, often dusted with ash to prevent rapid cracking. Firing : Once dried, the bricks are fired in traditional oven...

Kairouan

Kairouan  is one site which probably isn’t covered enough by travel agents, especially when you consider the fact that it’s regarded as the fourth most important holy city for Muslims. It also happens to hold the much-coveted UNESCO World Heritage Site tag and anyone who likes to wander through a mixture of history and culture is advised to pay a visit. Kairouan happens to be home of one of the oldest mosques in the country in the form of the Great Mosque of Obka, while it also holds its own Medina which is ideal for those famous Tunisian souvenirs  With mosques, madrassas, and tombs aplenty, Kairouan has more than its fair share of monuments as the fourth most important city for those of the Muslim faith. The Arabic architecture here is truly inspiring and the skyline is full of skinny minarets and bulky domes. But it's probably the back alleys of the city's Medina that steal the show. With narrow maze-like lanes lined with crumbling colourful houses, Kairouan's old tow...

Medina (Ouled Hadef) / Ouled el-Hadef

The Ouled el-Hadef quarter is a district of harmonious appearance built entirely out of brick. The façades of the buildings here are decorated with large geometrical motifs which are reminiscent of tattoos and prints on fabric, an effect created by the way the bricks are placed together. The narrow alleyways, heavy doors and columned porches give Tozeur's old pedestrianised district a distinctly medieval atmosphere. This 14th-century medina has a unique, striking architecture of pale brickwork arranged in relief patterns of endless, rhythmic variation; the easiest way in is from Ave de Kairouan. The families living here come outside to socialise come dusk – strolling at this time is quite special. The medina of Tozeur is basically formed by the neighborhood Ouled el-Hadef, the oldest in the city, which has remained virtually unchanged since the 16 century. It is 50 m from [poi = 160381] Central Market [/ poi], along Av Kairouan. Built in the 14 century to house the Hadef clan, ...
