A curated journey through the experience
The Great Mosque of Kairouan
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 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.
1 hourTozeur
Known for the superior quality of its dates and mainly the "deglet ennour" variety, fingers of light, with transparent and succulent flesh, Tozeur essentially lives off its oasis economy: agriculture remains the main activity of the city.

The houses of this village are called troglodyte houses where you can admire the beauty of the underground dwellings in MATMATA. They are located in an underground pit in the form of caves, and each pit (الحوش) takes a circular shape and consists of a courtyard decorated with drawings and colors, and it consists of other rooms of the house, the rooms of the house with smooth mud.
