What you can expect

Discover the soul of Tunisia with highlights like Kairouan's Great Mosque, its lighthouse-like minaret, and the ancient Roman columns in the UNESCO-listed Medina.
Begin your journey in Kairouan, the spiritual heart of the Maghreb. Stand in awe of the Great Mosque of Oqba, an architectural masterpiece founded in 670 AD. Marvel at its lighthouse-like minaret and the “forest of columns” salvaged from ancient Roman cities.

Your immersion continues with a guided walk through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Medina, designed to inspire admiration for local craftsmanship. Beyond the intricate Three-Door Mosque, you'll witness the engineering of the Aghlabid Basins, watch artisans weave world-famous carpets, and sample a sweet 'Makroudh' pastry fresh from the souk, fostering a sense of pride in Tunisia's artisan heritage.

After a scenic drive and regional lunch, explore the El Jem Amphitheatre, Africa's largest 3rd-century Roman colosseum, which once hosted 30,000 spectators and is remarkably preserved. Don't miss the chance to experience this extraordinary piece of history and visit the nearby Roman villa museum with its stunning mosaics and Roman glassware.
