What To Expect

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.
