The richly decorated, lavishly tiled Zaouia of Sidi Mokhtar, well worth a look in, is home to the Association de Sauvegarde de la Medina de Bizerte, the group responsible for Medina conservation. Displays include a fascinating map of Bizerte in 1881 - before the old canal was filled in - and old photos of the city. If you leave ID you can borrow books on Tunisian history and architecture in French. On sale is Bizerte - Identité et Mémoire , an excellent illustrated book about the city.
