Departing from Hammamet, enjoy a full-day excursion to two of Tunisia's most remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the holy city of Kairouan and the Roman amphitheatre of El Djem.
Your journey begins with a comfortable hotel pick-up, followed by a scenic drive to Kairouan, the first Islamic capital of the Maghreb. Enclosed by ancient sandstone walls, the old city reveals a fascinating medina—a maze of narrow alleys, whitewashed houses with colourful shutters, and elegant brick arcades.
Check out the Great Mosque of Kairouan, an architectural masterpiece and one of the most important monuments in the Islamic world. Walk among its graceful columns and arches, admire the finely carved stonework, and discover the vast prayer hall, arcaded courtyard, and iconic minaret that define this historic complex.
Keep going to the beautifully decorated Mausoleum of Sidi Sahbi, famous for its exquisite tilework and stucco ornaments. Enjoy free time to explore the traditional souks before stopping for a local lunch.
In the afternoon, head to El Djem to explore its impressive Roman amphitheatre, the third largest ever built by the Roman Empire. Once able to host up to 35,000 spectators, this monumental structure invites you to imagine the dramatic gladiatorial contests that once took place within its walls.
At the end of the tour, relax on the return journey to Hammamet, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel.
