Kairouan_Tozeur

The Great Mosque of Kairouan - The Great Mosque stands as the emblem of Kairouan. It is among the oldest and most stunning mosques globally, and one of the most remarkable monuments in the Maghreb! Its religious significance elevates Kairouan to the 4th holiest city in Islam. Visitors admire its towering minaret, the grand courtyard of impressive scale, encircled by beautifully crafted arcades and featuring a sundial, along with the tall, intricately carved cedar wood doors. These doors lead to the prayer rooms, adorned with numerous marble columns. Constructed in 670, this architectural marvel, reminiscent of an adobe fortress, has inspired other mosques in the Maghreb.

Medina of Kairouan - The medina of Kairouan is one of the most well-preserved and authentic in Tunisia, offering a chance to explore the souks, savor Kairouan’s “Les Mekroudhs” pastries, and witness traditional carpet making.

Decor Star Wars Tunisie - In the Tunisian desert, 14 km from Nefta and 38 km from Tozeur, George Lucas set his scene. The location is enchanting, drawing visitors with curiosity. These same sets were used for filming episodes I and II of Star Wars.

Nefta - The Nefta basket is a crevasse shaped like a basket from which 152 springs once flowed to irrigate the entire Nefta palm grove. In the 1980s, the springs dried up one by one, leading to desolation. This phenomenon was mirrored in El Hamma, Degache, and eventually Tozeur.

Matmata_amphitheater D el Jem

Casas Trogloditas de Matmata - The city of Matmata is located in southeastern Tunisia, specifically to the west of Gabès. It is an ancient Berber village spread across hills, characterized by rocky landscapes, offering a panoramic view from the mountain top and concealing one of Tunisia’s unique sites. The village’s houses, known as troglodyte houses, showcase the beauty of underground dwellings in Matmata. These homes are situated in an underground pit resembling caves, with each pit forming a circular shape and featuring a courtyard adorned with designs and colors, along with other rooms of the house made of smooth mud. History enthusiasts are encouraged to visit this charming village, attracting tourists worldwide on daily tours to explore underground life and learn about the customs and traditions of its residents.

Amphitheatre of El Jem - The El Jem amphitheater is an outstanding example of Roman architecture, particularly of structures built for entertainment, in Africa. Situated on a plain in central Tunisia, this amphitheater, constructed entirely of dressed stone, is neither excavated nor supported by a hill. It follows the model of the Colosseum in Rome without being a mere replica of the Flavian structure. Its dimensions (major axis of 148 meters and minor axis of 122 meters) and capacity (estimated at 35,000 spectators) undoubtedly place it among the largest amphitheaters in the world.
