UNESCO designates Sidi Bou Said as World Heritage
UNESCO announced the inclusion of the tourist village of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia on the World Heritage List during the meeting of the World Heritage Committee in Busan, South Korea. The village is perched on a slope overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and is renowned for its unique architecture, stunning views, and its historical site surrounding the tomb of a Sufi saint from the 12th and 13th centuries. This designation follows the review of Tunisia’s nomination file, which highlights Sidi Bou Said as a center of cultural and spiritual inspiration in the Mediterranean. With this addition, the number of Tunisian sites listed on the World Heritage List rises to 10. The village is one of the region’s top tourist destinations and features the former residence of the French Baron, the Langue Palace, as well as museums, traditional restaurants, and hotels.
