Every week, the centre of Midoun hosts a big market that draws people from all over the island: fruit and vegetables, spices, olive oil, clothes, basketwork and everyday goods. It is a market for locals before it is one for tourists, and that is what makes it interesting. Market day is Friday; come in the morning, when there is the most on offer and before the heat. Keep some change, haggle with a smile for crafts, and taste the fruit in season. The rest of the week, central Midoun stays lively with its shops and cafés. Restaurant Sultana is a few minutes away, at the Coupole roundabout: a good way to end the morning with a brik or a couscous. For more souks, see Houmt Souk.
