The Souk El Attarine is one of the oldest Souks of the medina, dating from the Hafside times (13th century). Its refined activity of perfume selling gave it the rare privilege to neighbor the Mosquée Zitouna (the Great Mosque of Tunis). Today, it still sells perfume extracts and henna. People come here also to find the wedding baskets that will contain all the presents (perfume, beauty products, jewelry, etc) to be offered to the bride.
