all right guys hello this is doug and i
am here in tunisia in a small town or
city called sidibu saeed it kind of
feels like just an extension of toonies
like it's like a half hour drive from
central tunis where i was in the
previous video but i think it's
technically a separate city this place
looks to me exactly like
a greek island like when you picture
mykonos or santorini that's what this
looks like it's just crazy i mean it
truly feels like i have been transported
to greece without going to greece which
is just nuts i can't really believe it
because it's literally right here in
tunisia it feels completely different
from tunis i don't think a lot of people
know that this kind of place exists in
tunisia so that's what i want to show
you guys in this video we'll go explore
it i just got here i haven't explored it
yet at all it's going to be really cool
very beautiful hopefully get some drone
shots so here we go
[Music]
okay so right before i started filming i
did come and get a coffee right here on
this cafe and i want to show it to you
guys because there's an amazing view
it's the first view maybe it's not the
best one but it's the first view that i
got so check this out i just came
up these stairs
to the cafe
and this is where i was just sitting
there it is the mediterranean we are
almost at like the northernmost point of
africa up here almost not quite
and right here you can see
kind of the main street
that stretches on through city busaid
okay we're gonna continue along and i
also haven't eaten anything so i need to
eat some food soon here's the main
street
so you can see a lot of the touristy
stuff on sale here definitely a lot of
tourists here too more than i noticed in
like the center of tunis all right i'm
walking along and everyone is eating
beignets which i guess is another
holdover from french colonialism here
and this place looks very famous so i'm
gonna grab one
[Music]
huh
oh thank you
that's so nice thank you so much
well that was so nice i was just waiting
in line
to uh buy a beignet and i was talking to
these three ladies from france in front
of me they were asking about my camera
and i was showing them where they could
buy it and telling them about it and
then uh she just handed this to me they
just bought it and it is so hot wow very
very hot fresh out of the fryer the guy
just pulls the dough right there and
then drops it in there and then you can
either get it with sugar like the one i
have here or with what looks like
nutella but it's not nutella brand and
uh let me tell you the prices so the
sugar one is one dinar which is like 30
cents and the nutella one is
two dinar which is like 60 cents so very
cheap very affordable
and it's so so hot but i'm gonna give it
a try
[Music]
oh yeah
wow that's good i normally don't buy
stuff like this i kind of like ice cream
and not that many other desserts but
lightly fried very very chewy on the
inside yeah that is amazing highly
recommended i'll show you guys what the
shop looks like right here right off the
main street in city busan you can't miss
it
and it's called
the
i don't know how to pronounce french but
there it is
okay and i just found out i misspoke
it's actually called a bamballuni when
you look it up it says it's a tunisian
food so it might not have been correct
to call it a beignet although it is very
similar and i wouldn't be surprised if
they're you know very closely related or
if it kind of came from that but anyway
it was extremely delicious and thanks to
those nice ladies for uh buying that for
me it was very nice all right we're
continuing on exploring let's go see
what else we find what is this
oh super super just me my friend no i
don't know
english in france
english
not really
you can take it back take it i'll give
you some tip
but you take the flower
what is this
what what is this what is this
is this uh
pigeon
thank you okay
that guy just came up and put that bird
on me while i was taking a picture of
the view or video of the
a lot of things like that around clearly
we're gonna go this way instead
also i don't think that was a pigeon i
think that was like a falcon or
something like a little baby falcon
who knows i didn't even get a good look
at it because it was on my head let's go
down here apparently there's a really
nice walk through what looks like a
green area
and let's see it should go down to the
water hopefully there's a nice view all
right this is not going to be fun coming
back up
very
steep but uh let's go down
see the mediterranean i think we'll
hopefully get a good view of the town
oh
[Music]
look at this there's our destination i
see a huge marina down there with
literally hundreds of boats all right
there are a ton of cactuses here
[Music]
literally all over the place a lot of
young people here
hanging out
hello
hello hello we are slowly getting closer
almost down to water level
okay i've made it down and it is a
beautiful day here it's not too hot but
it's kind of perfect temperature nice
and sunny here it is looks like a public
beach
can even see some people sailing or
windsurfing out there let's go take a
walk i might throw the drone up there
too
wow this is beautiful
huge beach
man i should have brought my bathing
suit this is so nice
a bunch of people
here sailing
little sailboats
i see some tick tock dancers some dudes
hanging out couple people swimming
wow
i gotta feel the water
all right
here it is the mediterranean sea
oh it's not even that cold
that is so nice to be perfect for a swim
so i actually just spent like four or
five days in hamamet tunisia at a beach
resort i didn't film it because i was
just kind of relaxing and getting caught
up on stuff but
i honestly feel like this beach is nicer
and it's literally like 25 minute drive
from tunis i kind of feel like i should
have come here this wasn't really one of
the like top recommended
beach spots uh in my research that i did
about tunisia but this is amazing i mean
it's a huge beach the sea is clean it's
beautiful great view
and you've got the really nice town city
busaid right here
so this would be my recommendation from
the little bit that i've seen this is
awesome
[Music]
okay i just hung out at the beach for a
while that was awesome i'm headed back
up the very long path i have to go all
the way back up to town it looks very
very steep from down here so i won't
bore you with that journey but i'll see
you when i get up there here we go
okay
this is more than i thought
okay we've made it back up and i've
caught my breath
and i just cannot get over
how pretty this town is i mean look at
this
so cool look at this door oh my goodness
and you can come off of the main tourist
street there where everyone's kind of
trying to get you into their shop and
stuff and come down these side roads and
man
so peaceful
just hanging with the kitties hello
alrighty i just stopped for some mint
tea people love to drink mint tea here
in tunisia similar to in morocco and i'm
just walking
further along the outskirts of the town
it's just crazy literally every single
building here is blue and white
like everything even this mosque behind
me blue and white
yeah
what's up you wanna be on it
hello
yeah okay
okay and look at this even the uh
even the
painting on the edge of the sidewalk is
white and blue it's crazy
the whole place i love it
you got the fountain or the
divider thing in the middle
blue metal
white stone
and the mosque like i said
[Music]
look at this we got fresh orange trees
this reminds me of my days in uh in
sevilla spain i studied abroad there in
college
and it was in the
spring and the entire city smelled like
orange blossoms it was incredible
so pretty here man you could spend days
just walking around however
the only things i've eaten today are
that beignet thing and a coffee
and another coffee and a tea so i need
to go find some food hopefully somewhere
with a view people keep talking to me
about terraces let's go see if we can
find one
all right i'm headed back up
into the center of town it's starting to
turn into golden hour like about to be
sunset
and the light is looking so nice
[Music]
such a beautiful mosque here too
i think i got some shots of this one on
the drone earlier it's amazing it looks
so nice when the sun is setting
okay so i got a little distracted flying
my drone and the sun kind of went down i
did manage to get a few shots of uh the
city getting darker as i was walking
along and i tried to go to a really nice
tunisian restaurant but unfortunately
they were all booked up so i ended up
getting pizza that was pretty good
that's gonna be pretty much the end of
the video guys i had a great day here
