What you can expect

Start off your tour with a hotel pickup in Hammamet and drive to the walled city of Kairouan. Protected by sandstone walls, the old town offers medina is a maze of narrow streets, whitewashed houses with brightly painted shutters and brick-laid archways.

Visit Kairouan's Great Mosque and walk among its exquisite pillars, arches, colourful carpets, and chandeliers shaped like pine trees. Marvel at the intricate stonework that decorates the entire space, including the drains.

In addition to the mosque's splendid interior, the complex also features a large prayer hall, an arcaded courtyard, and a minaret. Afterwards, see the Sidi Sahbi mausoleum, known for its beautiful tilework and stucco decorations.

Stop for lunch before visiting the El Jem amphitheatre, the third-largest built by the Romans. During its heyday, up to 35,000 spectators would pack its steep stands to watch gladiatorial fights. Get dropped off back at your hotel in Hammamet at the end of the tour.
