  • The Great Mosque of Kairouan, Kairouan, 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, up to 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 aisle. Many of these columns were taken from ancient sites like Sbeïtla. The portico surrounding the courtyard, the prayer hall, the harmonious symmetry of the facade with its arched arches and its dome make this mosque a masterpiece of architecture.

Highlights: Drive from Hammamet to Kairouan - opportunity to talk with our knowledgeable guide about Ramadan, Tunisian history, and our deep affection for each of our own countries. GreatMosque - beautiful, quiet, ancient, not just a tourist attraction. Thysdrus Ampitheater I bought a carpet. The shipping to New Zealand proved to be more problematic than initially anticipated. Our guide, Ghassen Nasri went the extra mile to sort this while I continued with my plans to safari in Kenya. To my delight and surprise, the carpet had arrived intact by the time I got home.

Cette excursion, lors d’un séjour dans la région, me semble être un incontournable. Les sites Kairouan et El Jem (le musée des mosaïques également) sont d’une splendeur stupéfiante qui vous laisse sans voix. Ils restent les témoins de la longue histoire et souvent tumultueuse histoire de la Tunisie. Le guide Ghassen est une personne amicale, chaleureuse et spontanée. Il maîtrise parfaitement l’histoire des lieux qu’il partage spontanément sans pédantisme aucun. Sa passion pour son pays, l’histoire universelle et la diversité des cultures et des religions permettent des échanges fascinants et enrichissants.
