What to see in Tunisia
Kairouan
Tourist attractions Kairouan
Kairouan, Tunisia's ‘Holy City’, is a historical and spiritual treasure that captivates visitors with its rich cultural and religious heritage. Located in the heart of the country, this ancient city is one of the most important Islamic centres in North Africa and one of the oldest cities in Tunisia.
The heart of Kairouan is the Great Mosque, a 9th-century architectural masterpiece that is revered as one of Islam's holiest places of worship. With its imposing minaret and elegant architecture, the Great Mosque is a testament to the splendour of Islamic art and a source of inspiration for believers and visitors alike.
In addition to the Grand Mosque, Kairouan is home to other sites of historical and religious interest, such as the Sidi Sahbi Mosque, the mausoleum of the city's patron saint, and the Basilica of St Felix, which reflects the rich multicultural history of the region.
But Kairouan is not just a destination for history and architecture buffs; it is also a centre of handicrafts and trade, known for its high-quality textiles, carpets and ceramics. Touring the city's souks is a fascinating experience, where you can admire the work of local artisans and immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of daily life.
To explore Kairouan is to discover a world of beauty, spirituality and history, where past and present intertwine to create an enriching and memorable experience for all who visit.
