Blue Fish
The Tunisians Book | Portraits of Contemporary Tunisia
Like "Humans of New York," The Tunisians is a compelling coffee table book that captures the cultural and personal diversity of contemporary Tunisia through portraits and firsthand stories.
From the country’s last rosary-maker to a graphic designer turned graffiti artist, and a mint seller moving from café to café with his elaborately decorated cart, each page offers a glimpse into the lives and voices that shape Tunisia today. Through intimate photographs and accompanying quotes, the book reveals a layered portrait of the country—at once personal, unexpected, and deeply human.
A visual and narrative journey, The Tunisians invites readers to encounter Tunisia through its people—their stories, their work, and their everyday moments.
For those inspired to experience Tunisia firsthand, Soukra’s Travel Concierge Service offers tailored itineraries and access shaped by local insight.

To Blue Fish founder Leila Ben Gacem, Tunisia means hope. She sees a country at a geographic crossroads where cultures have collided and co-mingled, and she’s dedicated herself to telling that story. Through Blue Fish, Ben Gacem promotes and celebrates Tunisian heritage, supporting local artisans and creating sustainable economic impact by introducing their handmade work to new customers. Her favorite place to visit inside Tunisia is the Medina of Tunis, a place she describes as “dense with human and heritage stories” where there’s a new discovery around every corner.
