Café Maure Diwan

Top choice in Tunisia


Inserted into the medina wall between Bab Diwan and Bab El Kasbah and accessed by a colourful set of steps, this atmospheric cafe is a refuge from the heat and a relaxing spot to kill a few hours over thé au pignons (mint tea with pinenuts), a Turkish coffee or a shisha. There's a youthful, mixed-gender crowd.
