Domes | Afrikya Photo Diary (Dec 22-28)
Daily Glimpse Into Tunisia's Multifaceted Heritage since 2016.
Bouncing back to Tunis around more and more hemisphere-shaped domes: Pure, white, and brightening the aura of Sidi Mehrez mausoleum, an epic yet singular gem of Tunisia’s beylical architecture, adored and captured by its son Jamel Ben Saidane
Next dome is a tailored legacy of Tunisia’s colonial architecture, forever standing side by side with a little minaret that conveys a neo-moorish vibe through its tiles.. Urban cocktail in the heart of Tunis, framed by explorer Mouard Ben Cheikh Ahmed
We’ve seen beautifully austere domes, and then this incredibly rich one.. bringing together fine, ancestral know-how left by ceramic artisans and the passionate strokes of the youth in modern-day Tunisia, here in Kairouan through the lens of Seif Cherif
Magical wander across the millenary rooftops of Kairouan amid contrasts of shapes, shades, and ages beneath a dramatic sky, painted through the lens of Seif Cherif

Domes’ curves also exhibit their charm at their purest, best embodied by Djerba’s traditional architecture.. Urban yet serene scenery portrayed by Myriam Soufy at Sidi Yeti, southeastern Tunisia
Another minimalist gem of a dome watching the other end of Tunisia’s eastern shores: Marsa’s emblematic, discreet Kobbet El Hwa, once home to kings’ summertime extravagance.. Contemplated and captured by Amine “Freedom Photography”
One more dome, a beautifully decaying one, accompanied by an evergreen tree, forever together atop the northern bank of the Gulf of Tunis on the outskirts of Ghar El Melh, explored and pictured by Afif Mehri
