Description
This stamp illustrates the maritime dimension of the “Sfax Capital of Arab Culture 2016” event by representing a traditional boat (lodj) sailing in front of the historic ramparts of the medina. The image captures the essence of Sfax as a port city whose wealth was built on the sea and Mediterranean trade. The symbolism of the white sail against a backdrop of ocher walls exalts the city's openness to the sea and its capacity to transport, through the ages, the values of tolerance and exchange which define Arab culture.
