Underground oil-presses Somewhat less exotic today, the camel that used to trod around in circles, running the olive oil press, has retired and a profane machine does the job today. Nevertheless, the underground construction, resembling what is found in the Matmata- area, takes care of the humidity that is vital for the production of olive oil during the winter. Today Midoun has one left, but this is easy to visit in the months of winter, from November to January.  Real Jerban life is not really on display in Midoun, the town is too close to the Zone touristique, to have preserved the safety of the local society,- people here have since long adjusted to the presence of photographing, ultra-light dressed foreign tourists. Visitors are principally appreciated by vendors in fairly ordinary souvenir shops. Some of the old life returns on Fridays, which is market day.
