Local Flavor at Medina of Tunis. Welcome to Tunisia! Medina of Tunis - this sprawling maze of ancient streets and alleys is one of North Africa's most impressive medieval medinas and one of Tunisia's great treasures.

Day 2
Tunis
City/Town Tour at Great Mosque of Kairouan. Kairouan Tour 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 whole Maghreb! Its religious prestige makes Kairouan the 4th holiest city in Islam. We admire its imposing minaret, its majestic courtyard with impressive dimensions, surrounded by superbly designed arcades and sheltering a sundial, and the high doors of richly carved cedar wood. They open onto the prayer rooms, adorned with dozens of marble columns. Built in 670, this architectural masterpiece, whose appearance evokes an adobe fortress, inspired other mosques in the Maghreb. The Aghlabid basins are a Tunisian historical monument located in Kairouan. Dating from the beginning of the second half of the 9th century and located outside the ramparts of the medina of Kairouan, they are considered to be the most important hydraulic works in the history of the Muslim world. 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.
