Even if the Medina of Monastir is the best place to provide you the best shopping experience,  you will come across lots of stores all over the city .

At Houmt Trabelsia, there are numerous jewellers offering all kind of stuff in gold or silver with good value for money. Moreover, there are lots of artisans specialized in leather, pottery and tapestry.

At Houmt Chraqua, the largest shopping district of Monastir, you will find some traditional tunisian clothes and some antique shops.
