What To Expect
The Great Mosque of Kairouan
The Great Mosque of Kairouan is one of Tunisia's architectural and spiritual jewels, located in the city of Kairouan, in the northeast of the country. This iconic mosque is renowned for its beauty and historical significance, as one of the first mosques built in North Africa. With a history dating back to the 8th century, the Great Mosque of Kairouan has been a symbol of Islam and a center of worship and study for centuries.
Bassins Aghlabites
The Aghlabid Basin is an architectural marvel, testifying to the ingenuity and grandeur of the Islamic era. Built in the 9th century by the Aghlabids, a Muslim dynasty ruling the region at the time, this pool was both a work of art and vital infrastructure for the city. This impressive pond, surrounded by elegant arcades and green gardens, served as a water reservoir to supply the city in times of drought. With its imposing dimensions and refined architectural design, the Aghlabid Basin is a site not to be missed for lovers of history, architecture and culture.

Kairouan and El Jem

5.00If you enjoy history, this tour offers a nice mix of Roman Afrika (Tunisia) and Ottoman. The mosques at Kairouan were beautiful and accessible. If you are a woman, just remember the head scarf and you will not have any issues the people tending to the Mosque where kind and welcoming. The Colosseum at El Jem was spectacular. You can experience a better preserved colusseum than in Rome and without the crowds. We took amazing photos with very few people around. Our guide was knowledgeable and courteous throughout. We wanted a little flexibility in the schedule to visit the archeological museum in El Jem, so we cut Sousse off the itinerary to make the time. He and our driver just rolled with it. Also we had lunch in El Jem at El Hana Cafe right anctoss from the colusseum. It had great reviews and lived up to them. All in, it was a good day.
amazing trip and spend a happy day

5.00This was altogether a very good full day trip. Kairouan was marvellous. El Jem amphitheatre was an experience that we shall never forget. What made the journey most memorable was Imed our guide. He was knowledgeable, witty and full of anecdotes. It is difficult to retain the attention of tourists for a full day but Imed is exceptional. He is the witty history teacher we all hoped we had and told us so many stories of the country with which we were not familiar. He has a unique way of interacting and getting to know his tourists. We recommend Imed highly for this tour. A country comes alive through its guides and we owe this fascinating tour experience to none other than Imed.
