Habib - a ferry to love





Tunisia Ferries' Habib (Arabic for 'love') was built by Werft Nobiskrug at Rendsburg in 1978 for services between Tunisia, France and Italy. Now aged 32 and having endured years of punishing use, she remains remarkably intact and is a wonderful surviving example of a West German-built ferry of the 1970s. Inboard, she's adorned with a remarkable array of fascinating paintings, tapestries and art works using Arabic calligraphy.


The nightclub - dark blue and cool in every respect
