Dar El Annabi
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Carthage, Dar El Annabi isn't your typical museum; it's a beautifully preserved family home that lets you step right into the daily life of a bygone Tunisian era. The magic here is in the lived-in details, where every object tells a story not just of history, but of the people who once called these rooms home. You'll find everything from ornate bridal couches and traditional wedding attire to the family's personal kitchenware and apothecary jars, all arranged as if the owners had just stepped out. It feels less like walking through an exhibition and more like discovering a secret, welcoming piece of the old city.
Collection Highlights
The collection is wonderfully domestic, featuring the family's own wedding finery, intricate household items, and a charmingly preserved kitchen that still smells faintly of herbs. Don't miss the rooftop terrace with its iconic view over Carthage and the Gulf of Tunis—it’s arguably one of the best parts of the visit.
Visitor Information
Just ring the bell at 48 Rue Hedi Zarrouk and you'll be warmly welcomed inside. Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the multi-level house, and be sure to leave some time to simply sit in the courtyard or on the terrace to soak in the atmosphere.
Architecture & Building
It's a classic example of traditional Arab-Andalusian architecture, with its characteristic whitewashed walls, graceful arched doorways, and a peaceful central courtyard that provides a cool respite from the sun.
