Tunisia, Islamic Cemeteries
Visited February 2014
While in Tunisia, I popped into Islamic cemeteries whenever
I was near one. Unlike western cemeteries, there aren’t expensive gravestones
with long inscriptions. They’re also not so silent, neat or landscaped. But yet
I find them fascinating, as a view of another type of burial custom. The two
pictured here are Monastir, near the Ribat (fortress) used in The Life of
Brian, and near the Great Mosque of Sidi-Uqba in Kairouan.
