The next site we visited was the zawiya and khalwa of the great scholar and saint Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili. It was a beautiful place in the midst of a large cemetery. The tiles were hot beneath our feet and the colours vibrant on that blazingly sunny day, our surroundings emanating a near tangible sense of peace and rest despite that it was undergoing some repairs. The caretakers were very sweet and welcoming, as they always are in these great places.
Have some shots of the traditional architectural detail; simply incredible!
In fact, I liked one wall so much I shot it several times over.
From there we headed to Tunis, but I'll save that for the next post...
