The only place related to the name of Scheherazade in Tunisia - the Sheherezade 4 * hotel in Sousse . There are no places of interest in the country that bear the name of the mythical concubine of Shahriyar . And this is not surprising, given the fact that the action of the epic "A Thousand and One Nights" takes place in Persia, modern Iran, remote from the territory of Tunisia for many thousands of kilometers .

Shekharazada herself, being the young daughter of Vizir Sultan Shahriyar, for obvious reasons could not travel to Tunisia, staying initially with her father, and later - with the sultan .

A stray Italian circus could be misleading. Scheherazades and mirror rooms are the usual attributes of wandering circus performers from the Apennine peninsula, who trade their art of controversial art value in the villages and villages of the Tunisian outback
