Doctor home visits around Bab Aïlen

Bab Aïlen opens the Médina to the east. Behind the gate, the area is mainly residential: family houses over several floors, a few guesthouses that are more discreet than around the souks, corner shops and neighbourhood bread ovens. Residents often live as extended families, with older relatives who rarely go out. Our doctor arrives along the boulevard that runs beside the wall, goes through the gate and continues on foot down the derb. A visit for an older parent, a feverish child, a blood test at home: describe the situation on the phone and we organise the rest.
