Kairouan Holy City and El Jem Colosseum Tour from Sousse
Things to know
About the Activity
The past is part of the landscape in Tunisia and nowhere more so than Kairouan – the country's holiest city – and the Roman amphitheater of El Djem. You'll kick off the tour in the walled city of Kairouan. Protected by sandstone walls, the medina offers quiet narrow streets, whitewashed houses with brightly painted shutters, and brick-laid archways, perfect for exploring. Kairouan's unmissable Great Mosque is considered one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the region. As well as the mosque's splendid interior, the complex also features a large prayer hall, a courtyard, and a minaret. Another important site in Kairouan is the Sidi Sahbi mausoleum, a significant site for Muslims around the world and known for its beautiful tilework and stucco decorations. Next, there's a stop for lunch before visiting El Djem amphitheater, the third-largest built by the Romans. During its heyday, up to 35,000 spectators would pack its steep stands to watch gladiatorial fights.8 hours

The Great Mosque of Kairouan
Kairouan, Tunisia, 3100Africa’s second-oldest mosque and explore the crumbling medina quarter. Even by classical Islamic standards, the interior of the Great Mosque is dazzling. The ornate tiles, intricate carpets and pine tree-shaped chandeliers are beguiling and even the drains are beautifully decorated. The minaret, meanwhile, became the model for those that followed. Marvel at the elaborate tiles and stucco of the Sidi Sahbi mausoleum then wander the medina’s meandering alleys of whitewashed houses with faded blue and green doors and window frames.4 hours • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location2
