    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 all of the Maghreb! Its religious prestige makes Kairouan the 4th holy city of Islam. We admire its imposing minaret, its majestic courtyard of impressive dimensions, surrounded by superbly drawn 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 has inspired other mosques in the Maghreb.

The tour is a great, hassle-free, way to see a lot of the highlights of northern/central Tunisia whilst staying in Tunis. The mix of activities, from the medina/mosque to Roman ruins to seaside fort kept things fresh and interesting. My guide, Yaya, was very friendly and knowledgeable and our driver got us around safely and efficiently. A long day but worth it!

Kairouan is one of the 4 sacred cities for Muslims ( along with Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem) is worth visiting and Jed has a Colloseum second in the world after THE colloseum in Rome, but this is extremely well preserved LONG trip though (575 kms)

Had a great time on this tour, bus was air conditioned so that was a big win as it was 35 degrees the day we went. First stop was a roman water storage system that could be viewed from the rooftop of a tourist info building, to be honest it felt a bit random and didn't really add much to the tour but your only there a few mins so not too bad and then its on to the mausoleum and then the mosque, which are all close together, you are supposed to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees and women also need a headscarf but luckily these can be provided upon entry if you don't have them. Both buildings are beautiful and the guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail even giving us a demo of how Muslims pray when they attend the mosque. It's then quite a long ride to El Jem where you stop along the way at quite a nice looking building which has a buffet restaurant this is included in the price and also a souvenir shop. The meal wasn't anything special to be fair and I thought it was a bit tight that drinks weren't included in the price, I guess because your a captive audience you have no choice. It's then on to El Jem, you get dropped off at a car park which is about a 5-10 min walk from the coliseum, you follow the guide there and have to walk past souvenir shops who to be fair don't hassle you too much. Then you get to go into the coliseum itself. The building is really impressive and again the guide is really knowledgeable about it all, then you get about 40 mins to go explore yourself, you have to make your own way back to the bus so make sure you can remember the way back to the car park. It's then around a 10 min drive to a roman museum where they have housed a series of large mosaics that were removed from an archaeological dig of a huge villa, again the guide was very knowledgeable and gave everyone time to explore on their own at the end. All in all I'd say the trip was worth it the guide was really good, not just at the different stops but all the way through, but just be warned its a long day, you'll spend a lot of time on the bus and take plenty of water with you
