Lunch
DrinksThe visits to the mosques in Monastir and Kairoan were interesting but I had hoped to see more of the cities and the other sites there. Visit to carpet shop not needed. El Jem visit could have been longer, Still waiting on response to emails about 2nd trip
Departure to Kairouan from your Tunis accommodation. The Fourth Holy City Kairouan Tunisia’s main carpet-making center has remained a purely Arab-Islamic city with its numerous religious buildings and fabulous relics. Admire its great Mosquée and Berber mausoleum. The Mausoleum of Family Habib Bourguiba, the first leader of Tunisia. A modern building in the heart of the town next door to the Ribat.
Next, you will discover another unmissable sight for anyone interested in history, the well-preserved amphitheater in El Jem, a significant example from the period of Roman rule. It is the third largest one in the world.
Monastir is a typical Tunisian coastal city where deep history seats side by side with modern amenities.
