An african city


This city is a mixture of European and African culture. While you are walking in the street, you can see a woman wearing a t-shirt and jeans and another one wearing a veil. In the city, there are also many contrasts. In the rich part of the city, the shops are very luxurious and pricey cars are seen.
However, in another part of the city, children beg and it is difficult to walk on the grubby streets. The city is a witness to the history of many mediterranean cultures. The awe-inspiring beauty of the treasures that the city owns will attract you at first sight.
Nevertheless, around the main monuments, many people will try to sell you tacky souvenirs. This is the main problem of the city since the places are always bustling and the magic of the city disappeared. But, in a country that is trying to develop its economy, the tourism plays an important role to achieve it. Probably the aspect of the city that most will impress you is the haphazard traffic. Drivers ignore traffic lights and the road becomes completely clogged.
There is no doubt that after visiting this city it is imposible to forget it.
