Like many European cities, from the outside M'dina is a walled mystery. We entered the city through the main gate, unsure of what to expect on the inside!!
It was beautiful. Most of M'dina is car free. Leaving tons of narrow little alleyways that only show large wooden doors on either side. I was adventurous enough, and frankly curious to see what was on the other side of the doors, so I was peeking in the mailbox slots and saw some of the most incredible inner-courtyards! Mini-gardens for the residents of M'dina. You wouldn't know it...but they are there and are beautiful!!
This isn't the best picture...but it gives you a sense of a common street in this city. M'dina can be full of tourists during the day, but since we were there around 4-5 in the afternoon, the city was quiet and shutting down -- such a treat, just for us!
