The Medina of Tunis is a sensory labyrinth — a bustling marketplace during the day and a quiet, mysterious maze by night. During one nocturnal stroll, the eerie cry of what sounded like a baby echoed through the narrow alleys. It turned out to be a fierce territorial battle between two cats, their voices amplified by the silence. This historic heart of the city is a place where every sound tells a story.
