Fabulous Arab Doorway - Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia
An absolutely fabulous Arab Doorway in the port town of Sidi Bou Said Tunisia, with a pair of knockers for the main decorated wooden doors (for ease of knocking when on a camel or on horseback?) and an additional knocker for the smaller inset door, being rapped by a visitor, keen to gain entrance. If the wonders beyond match the ornate glories of the door, then one can appreciate his keenness to gain admittance. Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases an absolutely fabulous Arab Doorway located in the enchanting port town of Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia. The ornate doorway, adorned with intricate carvings and elaborate designs, stands as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of North Africa. The main doors, with their pair of brass knockers, are a striking feature, presumably added for ease of use when approaching on a camel or horseback. An additional knocker for the smaller inset door adds to the doorway's grandeur, as a visitor eagerly raps on the surface, anticipating the wonders that lie beyond. The cobblestone street, with its archway and stepped entrance, further accentuates the allure of this complex Arab house. The intricate stonework and masonry, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of Tunisian artisans, is a feast for the eyes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and historical significance of Sidi Bou Said, a town renowned for its unique architectural style and cultural heritage.
