Welcome Message
It is my privilege and pleasure to invite all transplantologists andmembers of the affiliated fields to the 12th Congress of Middle EastSociety of Organ Transplantation in 2010 in the charming city of Tunis.
The objective of MESOT Congress is to enhance transplant activitiesin the region. There is a great need for cooperation in all spheres ofactivities and we have to pursue all efforts towards increasingtransplantation activity because the options and the cost of treatmentof end stage organ failure are limited and costly. For this, cooperationbetween centres is imperative. Sharing of data through registry as wellas clinical problems through regional publications are the need of thehour. Training of manpower is the other challenge that can only be metthrough joint efforts. There is no dearth of technical expertise in organtransplantation, be it kidneys, liver or bone marrow. The time has nowcome that regions with more facilities should step ahead and helps totrain the less developed ones. MESOT Fellowship programme is sucha step to achieve this goal.
A concerted effort by all especially the countries that have hadsuccessful deceased donor programmes can help those centres whichare without the benefit of multi-organ cadaver transplants. This is yetanother avenue for cooperation which can yield great benefits forthousands of patients in the region. To achieve this goal the organtransplant procurement network will have to be developed in allaffiliated countries.
The 12th MESOT Congress will bring together a large number ofregional speakers and experts in the field of organ transplantation inTunisia. Along with acquiring the latest knowledge, the warmfriendliness of the people of Tunisia, will provide an opportunity for thedelegates to see hospitable land of colors and contrasts, spices andscents and to enjoy its natural beauty and lively festivals.

Tours & Excursions
Excursion 1: Carthage, Sidi Bou Saïd (Half day excursion)
Carthage :Carthage was founded in the 8th century BC by the legendary PrincessElissa-Dido upon the hill of Byrsa. This beautiful site was razed and burntto the ground after punic wars between Carthage and Rome (264-146 BC)and the accursed land covered with salt to ensure its barrenness.The Romans returned to Carthage and built on its ruins a new Carthagethat became the administrative capital for Africa. Now the ruins of boththese great empires lay open to the sun and wildflowers. Declared anational monument the town of Carthage and nearby Salammbo abound investiges of the Punic and Roman empires, baths, dwellings, temples,Shrines and the fabulous naval port of the Carthaginians.
The Roman theatre is still used today for the summer festival of Carthage. Newly restored, the formercathedral of Saint Louis, which crowns the hill is now a cultural center and the nearby national museum ofCarthage holds an impressive collection of Punic statues, steles andurns.
Sidi Bou Said :The village of Sidi Bou Said, probably one of the most beautiful Tunisianvillages, perched on the Cliffside which dominates Carthage and theGulf of Tunis. In Sidi Bousaid, a little paradise, adorned in the coloursof the Mediterranean, Visitors discover the delightful mixture of houseswith their white lime exteriors, moucharaby balconies, and blueshutters - that unique blue of Sidi Bou Said. The heavy, studded doorsopen into secret gardens carpeted with ceramics and encircled withbougainvilleas.

October 18 - 21, 2010 Second Announcement, Page 21
Excursion 2 : Medina & Bardo Museum (Half day excursion)Tunis, Medina
The medina, or old quarter, of Tunis was built during the seventh century AD. Fromthe 12th to the 16th centuries, Tunis was considered to be one of the greatest andwealthiest cities of the Islamic world and its medina is testimony to its former grandeur.Today, visitors can step back in time through the maze of narrow, winding streets andbarter for souvenirs with the locals; goods on sale include colourful hand-madecarpets, hand-crafted jewellery, copper and brassware, pottery and exotic spices. Theninth-century Ez-Zitouna Mosque (Mosque of the Olive Tree)is the main religious sitehoused by the capital city of Tunisia within the walls of the medina.
Bardo MuseumThe Bardo, located in the suburbs of Tunis, is in itself, an architectural landmark.Originally a 13th century Hafside palace, it has been restored and expandedthroughout the ces superb example of Arab-Moslem 17th and 18th centuryarchitecture and decoration with its vaulted ceilings, galleries and cupolas. How fittingalso that the finest collection of Roman mosaics in the world should be housed in thisdelightful setting!.
Excursion 3 : Nabeul (Half day excursion)Nabeul
Nabeul is a well-known tourist resort, popular not only for its beautiful fine sandybeaches and its garden hotels, but above all for its inestimable attraction as the leadingtown for Tunisian craftsmanship, in particular its pottery. In Nabeul, pottery is anactivity which dates back to Roman times, and today it is produced in craftsmen'sworkshops which tourists can visit. Other crafts include embroidery, distillation ofperfumes using ancient recipes (orange blossom, jasmine, geranium, etc.), espartogoods, wrought ironware and stone sculptures.
Excursion 4 : Kairouan, El Jem & Sousse (Full day excursion)Kairouan
The spiritual home of all Tunisians, the city itself rises like a dream of ochre and tawnybeige, serene in its 13 centuries of Islamic culture, authentic and proud of the wondrousbeauty of its mosques, the symphony of its columns and arches, the exquisite delicacyof the stone work. The towering and sober dignity of the Great Mosque, built in 670 byOkba Ibn Nafaa, seems to embody the spirituality that has inspired artists and poetsfrom its creation until the present day.Kairouan is the oldest and most renowned carpet center in Tunisia. Undoubtedly thehand knotted pile carpet reigns supreme with the typical design of Kairouan, being ofnatural wool colors with a large border of parallel stripes of geometric patterns and acentral lozenge with a floral design.
El JemThe sight of this amphitheatre rising in the distance like a Colossus is both wondrous and slightlystrange as the present surroundings give no hint of its former importance.Built around the year 200, it was the scene of those games and circuses, often cruel and bloody,provided by ancient Rome. Today, the cries of martyrs and beasts have been replaced by thehaunting strains of a concerto or the precise beauty of a fugue as world famous orchestras andartists perform at the classical music festival held at the colosseum each summer.El Jem has opened workshops where artists are re-discovering the art of mosaics and theircreations are truly worthy of this site and its history. You can compare these artworks with thosein the museum by the colosseum.
SousseSousse is in the central-east of the country, on the Gulf of Hammamet. Today it is consideredone of the best examples of seaward-facing fortifications built by the Arabs. Its ribat, a soaringstructure that combined the purposes of a minaret and a watch tower, is in outstandingcondition and draws visitors from around the world.These days, Sousse, retains a medieval heart of narrow, twisted streets, a kasbah andmedina, its ribat fortress and long wall on the Mediterranean. Surrounding it is a modern city oflong, straight roads and more widely spaced buildings.
Excursion 5: Saharian Experience(3 days excursion)Tozeur
Tozeur a prosperous town, was once, like the mountain oases, one ofthe Roman outposts and a stopping point for the caravans coming fromthe sub Sahara to trade with the coastal cities of the Mediterranean, itnow owes its fame and affluence to the stately palm and its worldrenowned dates - Deglet Nour "fingers of light". The beauty of theseoases, its fabulous 14th century medina and botanical gardens attractsvisitors from all over the world. The groves of over 200,000 palms arewatered by hundreds of natural spring.The remarkable architecture of Tozeur, beige sun baked bricks set in
geometric patterns, Moorish arches and high vaulted ceilings and the shops offering locally wovencarpets, Berber jewelry and ornaments, promise visitors another aspect of Tunisia.
Excursion 6 : Jerba, the island of dreams
JerbaJerba is a 614 sq km flat island situated on the gulf of Gabes off the southern coast ofTunisia. It is joined to the mainland with a 6 km causeway built on a Roman foundation.More than 145,000 inhabitants, mostly of Berber origin, live on this isle of mythology. Its133 km shoreline abounds with sandy-white beaches, gently lapped by the warm-azurewaters of the Mediterranean.
