this museum is fantastic, one of the most beautiful ones I've ever been to. they tell the history of the country, the 1001 arabian nights. The place is very well cared for, lots of fantastic spots for pictures and the staff is very kind, there's a guide to explain everything to you.

Dar Cherait Museum was nothing special at all. Of course you can see from the inside a Tunisian house (a rich one actually), but the exhibits were not so many and it's more like a private collection .

There are presantations (with human size "dolls") of everyday life during Ottoman's years, eg Hammam scenes, wending preparation scenes etc. There are original jewelleries... More

if you have other things to do, or would rather walk about the town, I'd suggest that instead. The museum is rather small, but it is interesting. If you have the time, see if - if not, pass and enjoy the great city!
