Dar El Annabi, Heritage museum in Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia.
Dar El Annabi is a museum housed in a restored residential building with white walls, blue doors, and windows that reflect the area's traditional style. The structure features an open central courtyard, decorated rooms, and balconies overlooking the sea and the surrounding rooftops of the town.
The house was built in the late 18th century and later served as a summer residence for a prominent family. Over time it was converted into a museum to preserve the stories of the people who lived there and the heritage of the region.
The displays feature scenes of daily life with figures dressed in traditional clothing and henna ceremonies, showing customs that have shaped the community for generations. These exhibits help visitors understand the rituals and practices that held meaning for families living in this region.
The museum sits on elevated ground within the town, meaning you will climb steps from the entrance to reach the building itself. Comfortable walking shoes help when exploring the different levels of rooms and balconies throughout the structure.
The building houses a private collection of ancient Arabic books kept in a library that remains largely hidden from regular visitors. These rare volumes offer insight into the intellectual pursuits and learning that the family who lived there valued.
