TransportSehr große Gruppe (29) in 3 Sprachen. Der Guide hat das sehr gut gemeistert, aber rein zeitlich ist das problematisch. Das Essen war im Dar Ammar Hotel war übelst, sowohl geschmacklich, qualitativ und Auswahl gab es kaum, weil die Hälfte der Schalen leer war. Die Hauptspeisen außer Nudeln waren alle aus, da los Dserrt bestand aus einer Orange. Jedes Mensaessen ist da besser. PS: Dem Ausflug am 24.1. mit Depart Travel, über TUI gebucht, war eine glatte 10! Da hat alles gestimmt.
Kairouan's old town echoes Tunisia's past, with a peaceful air that hasn't changed much in centuries. On this tour, you'll discover history-drenched locations such as the Roman colosseum of El Djem, Africa's second-oldest mosque and the medina of Kairouan. Karim, one of our expert local guides, says "Kairouan is Tunisia's holiest destination, renowned for its fine Islamic architecture. The interior of the Great Mosque is all endless pillars and arches, colourful carpets, and chandeliers shaped like pine trees that add to the beauty of the space. Even the drains are decorated with intricate stonework."
We'll start off in 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, perfect for exploring. Then you'll visit Kairouan's unmissable Great Mosque - considered one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the region. As well as the mosque's splendid interior, the complex also features a large prayer hall, an arcaded courtyard, and a minaret.
Another important site in Kairouan is the Sidi Sahbi mausoleum, known for its beautiful tilework and stucco decorations – it's a popular site for pilgrimages. Next, there's a stop for lunch before visiting El Djem 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.
