The Great Mosque of Kairouan, considered the 3rd most important Islamic monument in the Arab world after Mecca and Jerusalem
The Medina of Kairouan is a true open-air museum and still alive with Arab-Muslim art and architecture by its monuments (more than a hundred), its souks, its houses and its alleys which remain a convincing testimony of his prestigious past. Since 9/12/1988, the Kairouan Medina has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List by answering 5 of the six evaluation criteria (Criteria for inscription: I - II - III - V - VI). "The Great Mosque is one of the major monuments of Islam" and a "masterpiece of universal architecture" (I). "The Grand Mosque served as a model for several Maghreb mosques; especially with regard to the decorative motifs. "The Mosque of the Three Gates is the oldest mosque with carved facade of Islam [...]" (II). "... Kairouan offers an exceptional testimony to the civilization of the first centuries of the Hegira in Ifriqiya (III). The traditional Muslim architecture of Kairouan, associated with its spatial configuration, has "become vulnerable under the effect of economic changes and constitutes a precious heritage ..." (V). "Kairouan is one of the holy cities and spiritual capitals of Islam" (VI).

I had an absolutely amazing experience on this 2-day Sahara tour — it truly felt magical from start to finish. The itinerary is incredibly rich: from El Jem to Matmata, Douz, the desert camp, Chott El Jerid, and the mountain oasis of Chebika… every stop was unique and breathtaking. Sleeping in the desert and experiencing the silence, the stars, and the atmosphere was something I’ll never forget. Some of the highlights for us were the quad bike tour and sandboarding in the desert — such fun and unforgettable experiences, especially riding through the dunes and enjoying the landscape in such an active way! What really made the difference, though, was our guide, Ali. He was exceptional — extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and always sharing interesting insights about everything we saw along the way, even during the bus rides. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving people a great experience. He was also very organized, punctual, and helpful at all times, which made the whole trip smooth and stress-free. This tour exceeded my expectations, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Tunisia. If you get Ali as your guide, you’re very lucky!
The experience was amazing, the atmosphere was incredible, and the guide was funny and told us everything
Unforgettable experience! Everything was perfect, our driver Hassen was at the top and our guide Hamza polyglot with a thousand anecdotes! Thank you again and see you soon because we will be back!
Incredible experience! Hassen our driver was perfect! And what about our guide Hamza who is a well of knowledge! Thank you again, we will return with family very soon!
A great experience all the drivers and the guides were highly recommended and professionals. Very polite staff with a lot of knowledge. I recommend!!!
We had a great experience from start to finish. Hamza has been a remarkable guide: his explanations are always clear, concise and humorous, making the trip even more enjoyable. The atmosphere in the coach was very friendly, and the overall organization was perfectly controlled, with good respect for time without ever feeling rushed. Hamza was very accommodating throughout the stay, always available at the camp when we needed help and willing to gladly answer all our questions. We also felt totally safe thanks to the professionalism of the driver Ryan. The activities offered were varied, of very good quality and at honest prices. The animations in the dunes will remain an unforgettable moment, especially since the team on site was very caring for us. The meals were also excellent, a real plus for the experience. The only thing we could have improved: we would have liked to have had more exchanges with the inhabitants of the Berber house to make the experience even more authentic. In summary, a very well organized, rewarding and memorable experience that we highly recommend.
The tour into the desert was just incredibly beautiful and exciting. On the way to the desert we stopped at several interesting places to visit, which made the trip even more varied. The bus was perfectly fine, and the tent we stayed in in the desert was also well equipped. The beds were comfortable so you could feel comfortable. You really don’t have to worry – everything was safe and well organized. Especially impressive was the show in the evening, where we were introduced to the culture. The food was also excellent – really top! A very special thank you goes to our guide. He was incredibly nice, personable, pleasant and made the whole tour even more beautiful. We had an unforgettable stay there, a lot of fun and wonderful experiences. I can only recommend this tour to anyone. Take the tour – you won’t be disappointed!
Very nice guide, Ali. He told us about the Background, history and was a well organised Guide. We visited lots of places, we could say we saw in two days nearly everything, the Most important in tunisia. The price is completely good, you get to See really much and you will see very beautiful Photospots. Just a total recommend If you want to see the Most important of tunisia, and want a little Desert adventure
Totally tourist trap. Most of the time in bus. Only few hours day time in Sahara. Tour guides told it’s our problem that we didn’t want to party in the night. (We had woke up at 3am and next morning we had to wake up at 5am). Also I didn’t like at all how they were treating animals. Avoid this place if possible. We have told these also to our tour guides who was pressuring us review with 5 stars. Was not happy when we said that not going to happen. They are most lovely people until you don’t review what they want.
It's a beautiful tour, you can take it. We liked it all :) of the downsides - a lot of road by bus, but it was known originally. I liked the ATVs in the desert - the quadrices were new, not killed at all, and the drive was normal. Only points remember to grab like us )
