Itinerary
The Great Mosque of Okba Ibn Nafi, one of the most important Islamic monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the Barouta Well in Kairouan, a camel operates a traditional mechanism to draw water from the well, preserving an ancient technique used for centuries. The Medina of Kairouan, with its traditional streets, local markets, and authentic handicrafts
Bir Barrouta is a historic and fascinating well located in the heart of the medina of Kairouan, one of the holiest cities in Tunisia. According to local tradition, this ancient well is connected to the sacred Zamzam well in Mecca, which gives it a special religious significance for many visitors. It is also famous for its unique mechanism powered by a camel that once turned the water wheel used to draw water. Today, Bir Barrouta is a popular stop during guided tours, offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s spiritual heritage and traditional engineering methods, while being surrounded by the authentic atmosphere of the old medina of Kairouan.
The El Jem Amphitheatre is one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world and one of the most impressive in North Africa. Built in the 3rd century during the Roman Empire, it could accommodate around 35,000 spectators. This monumental structure was mainly used for gladiator fights and public spectacles. Its massive architecture, majestic arches, and underground corridors reflect the greatness of Roman civilization in Tunisia. Today listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visitors can climb the seating tiers, explore the underground galleries, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. The El Jem Archaeological Museum, located near the amphitheatre, houses an outstanding collection of Roman mosaics among the finest in North Africa.
El Jem Archaeological Museum is a remarkable museum located next to the famous Roman amphitheatre in El Jem, in central Tunisia. The museum is well known for its exceptional collection of Roman mosaics, considered among the finest in the Mediterranean region. These artworks were discovered in nearby Roman villas and illustrate scenes from daily life, mythology, hunting, and nature, offering a vivid insight into the richness of ancient Roman Africa. Visitors can also explore archaeological artifacts such as statues, pottery, and household objects that help recreate the atmosphere of Roman life in El Jem. Combined with the nearby amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the museum makes this stop a must-visit for history and archaeology lovers exploring Tunisia.
Visit the Ribat of Monastir, one of the oldest Islamic fortresses in Tunisia. Explore the Bourguiba Mausoleum, an iconic landmark of Monastir. Optional stops: Monastir Marina, local markets, beach, or scenic viewpoints.

Beautiful experience, despite the intense heat we managed to visit all the planned places, a special thanks to Azouz who accompanied us
Grazie mille per la bellissima recensione! Siamo davvero felici che, nonostante il caldo, siate riusciti a visitare tutti i luoghi previsti e a godervi l'esperienza. Trasmetteremo sicuramente i vostri ringraziamenti ad Azouz: sarà felicissimo di sapere di aver reso il vostro tour così speciale. Speriamo di rivedervi presto!
Top trip to El Jem & Sousse – definitely recommended thanks to Nouri! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We made a great day trip to El Jem and Sousse with our guide Nouri, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide! The amphitheatre in El Jem is nothing short of impressive. Nouri talked passionately about Roman history and knew how to share the right details without getting boring. Then we continued our trip to Sousse. Walking through the atmospheric medina with Nouri was a hit: he knows the city like the back of his hand, knew exactly how to show the nice places and made sure we could enjoy the atmosphere in peace. Nouri is incredibly friendly, welcoming and punctual. It perfectly matches the tempo to your wishes and ensures that everything runs smoothly. Are you looking for a reliable and enthusiastic guide for an unforgettable day in Tunisia? Then we recommend Nouri 100%!
Vielen Dank für diese fantastische 5-Sterne-Bewertung! Das gesamte Team von Miral Travel Service freut sich sehr, dass Sie einen unvergesslichen Tag bei der Erkundung von El Jem und Sousse verbracht haben. Nouri wird sich riesig über Ihre freundlichen Worte zu seiner Leidenschaft, Gastfreundschaft und seinen hervorragenden Ortskenntnissen freuen. Wir bedanken uns herzlich für Ihre Empfehlung und hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem Ausflug mit Miral Travel Service begrüßen zu dürfen!
The tour was incredibly enriching. Our tour guide Adel was very accommodating and gave us time everywhere we went to look around and explore the places extensively. He also showed us places that were not included in the tour. He did not refuse us any request. This experience was truly worth every cent and we would book the tour again anytime!
Vielen Dank für diese hervorragende Bewertung! Das gesamte Team von Miral Travel Service freut sich riesig zu hören, wie begeistert Sie von Ihrer Tour waren. Es ist uns ein großes Anliegen, unseren Gästen unvergessliche Erlebnisse zu bieten. Adel wird sehr stolz sein zu erfahren, dass seine Flexibilität, Aufmerksamkeit und die kleinen Zusatzstopps Ihre Reise so besonders gemacht haben. Vielen Dank für Ihr großartiges Lob und Ihre Vertrauen – wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei einer Tour mit Miral Travel Service begrüßen zu dürfen!
It was simply great. Our guide accommodated every request. We really saw a lot and the time flew by. We actually wouldn't have made it to the last two stops in Monastir, but he drove us there anyway, calmly and without any rush. He even fulfilled our request to log a cache (geocaching) afterward. When asked by our daughter (8) how many stars out of 5 possible she should give him, she answered "2000" Highly recommended
Hier ist eine herzliche, professionelle und emotionale Antwort auf Deutsch, die perfekt auf die wunderschönen Details dieser Bewertung eingeht: Vielen Dank für diese fantastische Rückmeldung! Es erwärmt uns wirklich das Herz zu lesen, wie begeistert Sie und Ihre Familie waren. Dass unser Guide sich so viel Zeit für Sie genommen hat, Ihnen die letzten Stationen in Monastir ganz ohne Hektik zeigen konnte und sogar noch Zeit für das Geocaching Ihrer Tochter blieb, zeigt genau das Engagement, das wir unseren Gästen bieten möchten. Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön geht an Ihre 8-jährige Tochter für die unglaublichen 2000 Sterne! Das ist wirklich die schönste Belohnung und das größte Kompliment, das wir uns wünschen können. Wir werden dieses wunderbare Feedback direkt an unseren Guide weiterleiten – er wird sich riesig darüber freuen! Wir hoffen sehr, Sie und Ihre Familie eines Tages wieder bei uns in Tunesien begrüßen zu dürfen! Herzliche Grüße und alles Gute, Ihr Team von Miral Travel Service

We booked a last-minute trip to Tunisia and were fortunate to have Nouri from Miral Travel Service, who had been recommended by family. He planned an excellent itinerary taking us to El Jem, Monastir and Kairouan, allowing us to experience Tunisia’s rich Roman, Islamic and cultural heritage. It gave us a fascinating insight into the many civilisations that have shaped Tunisia over the centuries. Nouri shared interesting historical and cultural knowledge throughout the day, which made the experience even more meaningful. We were given plenty of time to explore each site at our own pace and particularly enjoyed the scenic drive home during the golden hour, taking in the beautiful coastline, marina and beaches of Monastir. Nouri was thoughtful and attentive, making regular comfort stops and ensuring we were comfortable throughout the journey. His friendly nature, professionalism and great sense of humour kept us going throughout the day and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
