We spent a month with friends in Tunis village. Tunis turns into a tourist village on weekends and it is lovely to see people from other parts of Egypt and around the world visit and take part in pottery workshops. The rest of the week it is a lot quieter and we enjoyed the pace of life, watching the farmers and villagers, going for walks to the lake and through the fields and taking pottery classes at Fayoum Pottery Svhool. Thr people in Tunis were friendly and welcoming and we miss them all. We went with Mahmoud (Fayoumer tour guide) to the desert nearby and spent a beautiful day in the desert seeing the wadi, the oases, waterfalls and enjoying delicious fish cooked by Bedouins. Thanks so much to the wonderful people of Fayoum, we hope to be back soon.
