Bab Brikcha
Bab Brikcha is one of the old medina gates. From the pedestrian approach, keep the arch and a small piece of the surrounding wall together in the frame.

Bab el Kram is another gateway into the old town. Move along the pedestrian approach until the gate’s shape stands out clearly against the nearby street.
Search Google MapsMedina of Monastir
The medina has small shops and narrow streets. Look for a corner where the lane turns and use the change of direction to create depth.
Search Google MapsCap Monastir marina
The marina opens onto the seafront. From the accessible waterfront, arrange the masts and their reflections in vertical lines, keeping clear of restricted quays.
Search Google MapsFalaise seafront promenade
The coastal walk by the Falaise gives views across the sea. Check local access before visiting, and if the path is open, use a section as foreground while respecting any barriers.
Search Google MapsCorniche beach
Monastir’s Corniche beach sits beside a rocky stretch of coast. From the sand, balance a patch of rock at the edge with open water beyond.
Search Google MapsSkanes beach
Skanes is the beach area outside the centre. Choose a permitted access point and use the long shoreline for a wide horizontal composition.

Moknine, about 20 km from Monastir, is known for pottery workshops. With the maker’s agreement, focus on the shape and surface of a vessel rather than the entire shop.
