Tour to Kairouan (2007)
Morning Tour Day 13
Kairouan (the “fortified town” in Arabic) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the spiritual home of all
Tunisians. Just an hour’s drive from Sousse, you will explore this holy city’s historic sites, including the Great
Mosque, parts of which were first built in the 7th century. Inside, you’ll admire the exquisite hand carved doors
and stucco arabesques, as well as the hundreds of columns — 400 in all — in the prayer room.
Your visit will not be complete without a walking tour of the Medina, the old city center. With its imposing
walls and monumental gate, the Medina encompasses lovely mosques, an ancient well, and hundreds of shops
where world famous Kairouan carpets of pure wool are woven and sold. In fact, Kairouan is the oldest and
most renowned carpet center in Tunisia. Here you will visit a carpet factory to watch carpets being loomed, and
learn how carpets are graded by the fineness of their knots. Discover how Tunisian craftsmen have successfully
blended traditional Tunisian patterns with modern designs, creating a new line of outstanding knotted carpets.
Approximate Time: 4 hours
Cost: $49 USD per person
