After your refreshing walk at the Sidi Bou Said Marina, head back into town to explore the magnificent Ennejma Ezzahra Palace, a true gem of Tunisian heritage. This exquisite palace, often regarded as one of the most beautiful examples of Arab-Andalusian architecture in Tunisia, offers a fascinating glimpse into the country’s rich history and cultural artistry.

Once the residence of the wealthy Beylical family, the palace is a stunning combination of intricate mosaic tilework, carved wood, and delicate stucco that reflect the opulence and refinement of the era. As you explore the spacious courtyards, grand halls, and lush gardens, you’ll be transported back to the time of Tunisia's Ottoman rulers.

Today, the palace houses the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires, where you can admire collections of traditional Tunisian crafts, furniture, costumes, and musical instruments that showcase the country’s artistic evolution. Each room tells a story of Tunisia's diverse cultural influences, from its Berber roots to the Ottoman and French colonial periods.

The palace’s stunning terraces offer an incredible panoramic view of Sidi Bou Said, making it an ideal spot to pause and take in the beauty of the town from above. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or an admirer of beautiful architecture, the Ennejma Ezzahra Palace is a must-visit to fully appreciate the artistry and grandeur of Tunisian heritage.
