Tripoli, also known as “the Jewel of the Mediterranean,” is Libya’s largest city, with souks (also known as bazaars) offering a wide variety of unexpected and unfamiliar goods. Visitors will enjoy spices, fabrics, jewelry, and … smoking rabbits.
OK; I admit it: the taxidermied rabbit smoking a water pipe was only offered in one place, and was easily the oddest souvenir I saw.
