Dedicated to Sidi Bou Saïd El Beji, this stamp pays homage to the patron saint of the famous blue and white village which overlooks the Gulf of Tunis. The architectural illustration highlights the mosque's minaret and the picturesque lanes of the World Heritage site. Beyond the tourist aspect, the message recalls the Sufi roots of Tunisia and the mystical aura of this high place of culture and knowledge, where the harmony of colors and shapes continues to inspire artists from around the world.
