O que esperar

The past is part of the landscape in Tunisia and nowhere more so than Kairouan – the country's holiest city – and in the Roman amphitheatre of El Djem. You'll make a pilgrimage back in time to both during this history-drenched full day excursion. Shayma, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Great Mosque of Kairouan is Africa's second oldest. The interior is dazzling, with ornate tiles, colourful carpets, and pine-shaped chandeliers that add to the beauty of the space. Even the drains are decorated with intricate tilework.'You'll kick off the tour in the walled city of Kairouan. Protected by sandstone walls, the medina offers quiet narrow streets, whitewashed houses with brightly painted shutters and brick-laid archways, perfect for exploring. Kairouan's unmissable Great Mosque is considered one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the region. As well as the mosque's splendid interior, the complex also features a large prayer hall, a courtyard and a minaret. Another important site in Kairouan is the Sidi Sahbi mausoleum, a significant site for Muslims around the world and known for its beautiful tilework and stucco decorations.Next, there's a stop for lunch before visiting El Djem amphitheatre, the third-largest built by the Romans. During its heyday, up to 35,000 spectators would pack its steep stands to watch gladiatorial fights. Today, you can still see the impressive structure that has stood the test of time and learn about its historical significance.

Excellent

The guide Ayeeda was excellent as was the driver, ayeeda was very knowledgeable and friendly, the whole trip was relaxed and unhurried. However, I thought the prices for the trips are a bit steep.

Great

Our guide was really very informative however due to the distance covered it was more of a coach tour and it was obvious that we stopped at certain places to receive a sales pitch. It was also fairly clear that the non English contingent got preferential treatment, particularly from one of the salesmen. Unfortunately for him we understand enough French to translate him communicate his dislike of English

Great

Usual delays in picking up from multiple hotels and then a further wait in a village for a bus with a set of guests from a different resort to join us. However the guide was very good and the sites were certainly worth seeing. Especially the coliseum.

Poor

The coach had air conditioning that was hardly different from the temperature outside. The first stop at what was supposed to be a good view of the city was ridiculous as there wasn’t anything to see. The tour of the mosque where people were “celebrating” the circumcision of a young boy (also known as child abuse) was - what’s the word ? Boring. I’ve travelled extensively over North Africa and the Middle East and this was one of the most boring tours I’ve ever been on.
