Handicrafts
Tunisian handicrafts get support from the government and provide employment for over 120,000 people. Each region has its own speciality: Kairouan is famous for its carpets; Nabeul and Djerba for their ceramics; Sidi Bou Said for its birdcages; Douz and Tozeur for its handmade leather sandals. It tends to be women who produce the carpets, decorate pottery, and weave baskets and mats while the men attend to carpentry, metalwork and, above all, selling.
