Whirlwind trip to historical Tunisia
The capital Tunis’ main drag is the Avenue de France looking glorious with arcades modelled after those of Rivoli Street (rue de Rivoli) in Paris. The Avenue meets with Avenida Habib Bourguiba, named after Bourguiba considered the father of the nation loved for educating women and outlawing polygamy. The long stretch is abundant with flower sellers, while the central walkway, with its street musicians and vendors, has more than a whisper of France’s Champs Elysee.
Getting inspiration from other photographers through their online photography portfolios or social media posts only goes so far.

The quirkiest music festival in Central Asia brings together electronic music fans and environmentalists in Muynaq, a town which was once on the shore of the Aral Sea, in Karakalpakstan. Since the 1960s, the sea has shrunk, creating the world’s newest desert and a dystopian backdrop for multiple stages and dance crowd which party hard.
Verona’s Roman amphitheatre has been hosting live spectacles for the best part of 2,000 years, and as the building is in a good state of repair, the Veronese see no reason to stop. There are concerts here throughout the year, but the highlight is the summer opera festival, which has itself run for more than a century.

This is where the city’s historic National Theatre stands proudly dressed in art nouveau architecture. At the end is an archway heralding the start of the city’s medina, a sprawling maze of little streets and alleyways filled with lively trading of everything from handbags to hashish pipes. Men sit in cafes drinking mint tea or aromatic coffee doused with orange essence. You will find women in stylish Salon de The.
