描述

Explore two of Tunisia’s top attractions in one day on this private tour. You’ll visit Kairouan and El Jem, accompanied by a local guide, who will tell you the history of each site.
Stop at: The Great Mosque of Kairouan, Kairouan 3100 Tunisia

The Great Mosque of Kairouan, the first in the Maghreb, was founded in 670 and rebuilt in 836. It served as a model for other mosques in the Muslim West, as far as Andalusia. The mosque is named after the Arab conqueror Oqba, founder of the city. The minaret is reminiscent of ancient lighthouses, such as the famous lighthouse of Alexandria. 31.50m high, it overlooks the vast courtyard surrounded by arcades. A forest of columns occupies the entire space of the prayer hall, framing the majestic central nave. Many of these columns come from ancient sites such as Sbeïtla. The portico surrounding the courtyard, the prayer hall, the harmonious symmetry of the façade with its arched arcades and its dome make this mosque a masterpiece of architecture.
