Matmata

November 26, 2019

My first card from Tunisia! Matmata, a small Berber speaking town in southern Tunisia.
Some of the local Berber residents live in traditional underground "troglodyte" structures. The structures typical for the village are created by digging a large pit in the ground. Around the perimeter of this pit artificial caves are then dug to be used as rooms, with some homes comprising multiple pits, connected by trench-like passageways.

Thanks a lot for this interesting swap Ouni!
