Sidi Bou Said Inscribed by UNESCO
The Sidi Bou Said village has officially been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, following unanimous approval by the World Heritage Committee convened in Busan, South Korea, in July 2026. This designation recognizes the village’s global significance as a space for artistic creativity and spiritual inspiration. It results from a comprehensive nomination dossier prepared by Tunisia in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, and the National Heritage Institute, highlighting Tunisia’s ongoing efforts to preserve its cultural and natural heritage. This achievement elevates Tunisia’s standing among Arab and African countries, now boasting ten sites included on the UNESCO list. Sidi Bou Said is renowned for its unique Arab-Andalusian architectural style, situated on an elevation overlooking the Gulf of Tunis and surrounded by buildings that blend traditional and modern elements.
