Traveling Tunisia - Mediterranean journey | DW Documentary
Tunisia is considered a microcosm of the Mediterranean world. On his journey, Jaafar Abdul Karim has fascinating encounters with all sorts of people, including a male belly dancer and a researcher who interprets the Koran from a female perspective.
Together with the Tunisian belly dancer and choreographer Rochdi Belgasmi, Jaafar Abdul Karim explores the capital’s Medina quarter, discussing masculinity and the stereotypes that exist about it in the Arabic-speaking world.
He also meets Dr. Sellin, a scholar who argues that the role of women in the Koran must be re-examined. In terms of women’s rights, Tunisia is the region’s most liberal country, but reforms are still needed.
Jaafar also meets young Tunisian designers hoping to conquer the international fashion world, and start-up entrepreneurs who solve environmental and sustainability problems in innovative ways.
After visiting a traditional hammam, Jaafar heads to Djerba, the largest island in North Africa. While tourists flock to its coastal resorts, life in the interior is still quite traditional. For example in Erriadh, where he visits the "La Ghriba" synagogue. Just under 2,000 Jews live in Tunisia today, half of them on Djerba.

We went to Tunisia 20 years ago for our summer holidays when I was a teenager, we stayed in tourist hotel with a massive water slide which was really cool. However the thing I remember about it mainly was going to Sousse one evening it was such a beautiful city, felt like I'd take a step back in time and got to experience an old style arabic city.Walking down the small streets with all the little shops was a really different experience than you would get on most Mediterranean sun holidays and I'd love to go back to Sousse again some time.

I like Tunisia
People have always lived in peace and tranquility in Tunisia, or as the Romans, Vandals and Arabs knew it as Africa. It's spots like Tunisia and Andalus where prosperity and cultural richness flourished for centuries. Tunisia is easily in my opinion the most under-rated country in the whole world. because its size and voice does not represent its true value as a nation. Perhaps the next generations of Tunisians will fix it.
Even though I can see all the research behind this documentary, a lot of information are distorted with a big focus on amplifying some of the issues, even through the translation from the Tunisian dialect to English.
