Shopping - Monastir | ArrivalGuides.com

ShoppingGuide was updated: 20 مارس 2024

If you like haggling, you will love shopping in Monastir. As a general rule, if you are shopping in the souks or stalls, start by cutting the price in half then work your way up to a compromise from there. If you prefer fixed prices or you just get tired of haggling, try the established stores outside the souks and if you have time, the large Soula Center in Sousse. The Medina is almost always full of passionate salespeople, sweet smells and local treasures, so be sure to at least have a gander around the old quarter.

Medina

Just outside the walls of the Ribat, along the boulevard all the way to the cliff you will find hundreds of shops and artisans that make the main souk of Monastir so enchanting. A huge selection of carpets, ceramics, silver, perfumes, brass, copper, leather, antiques and many more suitcase stuffers can be found here. The Chraga district of the Medina has been recently reformed and is a great place to take a break from shopping with a sweet mint tea.

Safari

There's plenty going on in this very touristy area between Monastir and Sousse. The Safari Shopping Center isn't just for shopping, it boasts a restaurant, an artisanal goods store and groceries amongst stacks of souvenirs. The prices are fair in relation to the quality and you can find just about everything you need here. The novelty is of course the herd of life-sized giraffes and elephants out front which will make a nice photo for a postcard.

Folla Center

The Folla Center is a slightly more upmarket version of the nearby Safari Center, selling world famous brands alongside local artisanal goods such as carpets, clothes and souvenirs. It is a much more peaceful shopping experience here compared to the hustle of the souks, but prices are fixed so don't go in expecting to barter with the store attendants. There is a supermarket on the first floor selling strong spices and gourmet sweets that are hard to find elsewhere.
