(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The Great Mosque of Kairouan
The Great Mosque is the symbol of Kairouan. It is one of the oldest and most beautiful mosques in the world, one of the most impressive monuments in the entire Maghreb! Its religious prestige makes Kairouan the 4th holy city of Islam. We admire its imposing minaret, its majestic courtyard with impressive dimensions, surrounded by superbly designed arcades and housing a sundial, and the high, richly carved cedar wood doors. They open onto the prayer rooms, decorated with dozens of marble columns. Built in 670, this architectural masterpiece, whose appearance evokes a rammed earth fortress, inspired other mosques in the Maghreb.
Medina of Kairouan
The medina of Kairouan is one of the most preserved and authentic in Tunisia, where you can take a look in the souks, taste the pastries of Kairouan "Les Mekroudhs" and its artisanal manufacture of carpets

The Aghlabid Basins are a Tunisian historical monument located in Kairouan. Dating from the beginning of the second half of the 10th century and located outside the ramparts of the medina of Kairouan, they are considered the most important hydraulic works in the history of the Muslim world.
