El Ahad Compound Market

The streets of Sousse get livelier at its weekly market held on Sunday. This Souq el-Ahad compound is held just south of the bus and louage stations, on the road to Sfax. Tourists usually are taken with the huge variety of goods on sale at this day. From here you can buy stuff to return with, including souvenirs, Tunisian handicrafts, aromatic perfumes, carpets, woolen blankets, dyed cloth, traditional caskets, copper ware, pottery and jewelry. Though there are fixed-price shops, sometimes you have to bargain a good price before paying for your purchases.
