    Restaurant Ahlen

    Grab an early dinner at Restaurant Ahlen. This is a reliable spot for a decent tagine or couscous with bread, olives, and tea included. It is open from 12:00 to 23:00, so you have plenty of time before the evening rush.

    Plaza de Toros

    Walk 46 minutes northwest to the Mendoubia Gardens and continue toward the Plaza de Toros. The bullring is a striking, abandoned Spanish-era structure. Arrive 30 minutes before sunset to find a good vantage point. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a dramatic backdrop against the old stone arena.

  3. 18:52

    Café à l'Anglaise

    Head to Café à l'Anglaise for a drink after dark. Located in the heart of the Kasbah, it offers panoramic views and organic meals. Note that it closes at 22:00, so arrive early enough to enjoy the night air and the view of the medina peaks.

Local tip

The walk from the bullring to the Kasbah is steep. Wear comfortable shoes. Café à l'Anglaise closes at 22:00, so do not linger too long after the sunset.
