   Spent our first evening visiting the museum that belongs to the guide who also lives one floor up. You can tell that he put a lot of passion and invested a lot of resources into the museum that he runs as a small family business. Must see to support local economy and culture! See more..

5. 4.0 Military Museum Of Mareth Line (9 reviews)
   - If you go, it's for the bunkers
   Speciality Museums
   
   
   Tough sell if you're not interested in this military history. It's also not exactly near tourist hotspots though you might be passing by. That said, if you ARE interested in pre-WWII and WWII history, this is a must-see. Main event is French-built 1936 bunkers used by Germans to hold back British. As far as bunkers go, these are small, plain, currently empty, and would otherwise be undistinguished. However Germans reinforced this line which proved to be a formidable obstacle. Getting a sense of how this line, and these bunkers, fit into overall terrain is why you stop. Museum interior is small and undistinguished. An officer takes you around though mine seemed unfamiliar with many of the historical details relevant to site. Weaponry artifacts can all be seen at Tunis National Military Museum. If you go, it's for the bunkers. VISITED: 16 Dec 2021; 5 TND adult entry See more..
