Sent by the Danish National Museum to collect ethnographic objects, Daniel Bruun travelled from Tunis by way of Susa, Sfax and Gabès into the Matmata Mountains, where Berber families lived in homes dug deep into the earth. He describes their dwellings, crafts, festivals and gun dances, and the oases beyond.
