Overview

Don't miss the Saf Saf while visiting La Marsa! This big, partly-outdoor, shaded coffeehouse is a veritable institution in La Marsa! It was established more than a century ago, near the Noria Well. Its popularity is steady from year to year, and a joyful crowd gathers here all day long. People play cards, chess or backgammon while smoking a hookah (shisha) and drinking tea or coffee. The cafe is also famous for the tuna and egg briqs it serves, which are especially crispy. N.L.
