De Grote Moskee van Kairouan, ook bekend als de Moskee van Uqba, is een historisch islamitisch monument in Kairouan, Tunesië. Gebouwd in de 7e eeuw, beschikt het over een mix van islamitische, Byzantijnse en Romeinse architectuur. De iconische minaret, de "Toren van Uqba", is een symbool van zijn grandeur. Het dient als een centrum voor aanbidding, wetenschap en cultuur en blijft een vereerde site voor moslims wereldwijd en een UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stap in de tijdloze charme van de Medina van Kairouan, Tunesië's levende meesterwerk. Verlies jezelf in een labyrint van smalle steegjes, bruisende souks en verborgen schatten die wachten om ontdekt te worden. Bewonder de prachtige architectuur van eeuwenoude moskeeën, madrassa's en caravanserais die getuigen van de rijke geschiedenis van de stad.

He was accompanied by the same guide who went around the Tunis tour. Again, he was knowledgeable and detailed with minute explanations. It shows his willingness to fulfill his duties without cutting corners in his explanations. They answer our questions and requests. He is a good guide who will guide you through all the planned routes and explain them enthusiastically. But I'm tired of being late back at the hotel.
Be careful booking this tour! We planned our entire holiday to ensure we could dedicate one full day to Kairouan and El Jem and it never happened. We booked several days in advance. I reached out via Viator the night before to confirm the pickup location and time. No response. I reached out via WhatsApp and they confirmed the booking. The next day came and we waited over an hour for the guide to arrive. No one ever came. We called, messaged via WhatsApp, and had Viator try to contact them as well. We were unable to reach them. Over an hour later, they let us know that the driver had an accident on the way and that is why they were unable to reach us. They apologized for the no-show and offered to let us do the tour for free the following day. We understood the gravity of the accident and appreciated the generous offer. We had to re-organize our holiday plans and I had to re-schedule work and meetings in order to go to El Jem the following day, but we were willing to make these changes. We trusted that there had been a serious unforeseen circumstance. The next day came, and yet again they never arrived. They never answered again and we never got to go to El Jem. We would have been fine taking the refund, but instead they offered to change the day of the tour and then did not follow through. I even took a day off work. I cannot understand why they would make this offer only to waste our time again. I cannot recommend this tour at all. There is no way to know if they will come or not. Book it at your own risk.
We checked every record we have, you never did any tour with us, so please delete your review, we reported it to T/A as well.

No doubt the places visited were not only historical but also very educational and interestingly showing the visitors what Tunis has for the tourists.
Boutheina was perfect! My husband and I got a private tour to Kairouan and el Djem! The perfect host, Boutheina made pit stops along the road for us to try in season delicacies: prickly pear, fresh almonds and mint tea. We learned the history and the influences of the region. It was the best day. So good in fact, we asked Boutheina to take us and our friends on a tour of Carthage the next day! We were a group of 4 adults and 2 small children. She was able to tailor the tour to our needs and attention spans! Thank you BouBou for the wonderful and engaging trip!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Boutheina made your private tour of Kairouan and El Djem so memorable, with thoughtful stops and engaging insights. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the experience so much that you continued with another tour of Carthage. We’re happy to see you in one of SAHARANSKY destinations in the near future!
I was a little nervous about booking a full-day trip with our kids in July with the heat (ages 11 and 5), but I needn’t have worried, it turned out to be an absolutely fantastic day! We were promptly picked up from our hotel by our driver, Shabab, and met our fantastic tour guide, Faycel, en route. The vehicle was spotless, comfortably air-conditioned, and spacious with 8 seats, perfect for a relaxing journey. Faycel was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating and was happy to go at our pace, stop for questions or photo opportunities. The visits to the Mausoleum and Great Mosque were fascinating and well worth seeing, but the true standout was El Jem. Just wow! The amphitheatre is absolutely spectacular and the best part no crowds, so we could really soak up the atmosphere and explore freely. The kids had a fantastic time, and so did we. I honestly can’t think of a single downside. Highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it, especially families. A memorable, hassle-free day out!
Our trip with Hisham was both safe and enjoyable. We had a great time, Thank you Hisham for the wonderful trip!
Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you had a safe and enjoyable trip with Hisham. He’ll be delighted to know you had a great time. Hope to see you again on another adventure!
We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide told us a lot about the history of the places and the country. We would also like to mention the driver. The young man drove very carefully, so we felt safe at all times. We can only recommend the tour guide.

this was a great tour! at first all the tour companies required a minimum of 2 people to go, but my sister didn't want to take the tour, so eventually I found a listing online for this tour and I was allowed to sign up with just one person. I expected other people on the tour with us, but I was the only one. we had a driver and a guide (Hoda) and me. First stop was Kairouan, where we saw a large mausoleum, and the mosque. probably about a 1.5-2 hr drive from Tunis (they picked me up at my hotel) then we headed east to El Jem, where there's a large roman amphitheatre that's in really good condition. They were preparing the amphitheatre for a July festival of live performances. then, because i was interested in the history, Hoda took me to a place they don't normally stop at. It was a museum of mosaics, many of them taken from the floors of the large former mansions of El Jem. simply stunning, and much better than the mosaic museum I saw in istanbul After that we went and had a very nice lunch in a nice hotel, all included. I ended up taking a nap on the drive back to tunis, so it went pretty quickly. I really recommend this tour, Hoda was a great guide, and very well-informed and personable.

Jamal was the best tour guide ever! He went above and beyond for us and made us feel very safe (2 women traveling alone). I believe the group and the guide really make these trips a success (or not) and in this case, we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you so much Jamal!!
