Peter Sanders presents The Art of Seeing | Sousse, Tunisia

A four-day photographic retreat with Peter Sanders, the world’s leading photographer of the Muslim world.

Hosted in Sousse’s UNESCO-listed medina, this exclusive program is built for photographers seeking to deepen both their technical practice and their way of seeing. The retreat combines structured skills-sharing sessions with immersive fieldwork, bridging perception, culture, and craft. All in a luxury & historic setting of The New Medina. Our programs are open to all and family friendly.

Program highlights include:

  • Perception and Practice: refining the art of seeing and translating observation into visual language.

  • Fieldwork in the Medina: guided sessions in varied light, texture, and movement within historic urban spaces.
