Stroll through the old town of Kairouan and experience the unique style of North Africa

I finally came to the old town of Kairouan, Tunisia on the other side of the Any Gate ❗️ 🕌 Kairouan, our first stop on our self-driving tour of Tunisia, the old city was built in 670 AD and was included in the World Heritage List in 1988. 🚏Walking around the old city, the streets are like a maze, with a dazzling array of shops on both sides selling a variety of goods, from traditional handicrafts to authentic local delicacies. The city’s towering towers, exquisite arches and complex mosaic decorations are all amazing. There is a strong exotic atmosphere everywhere. 🕰️Opening hours: All day long, most shops close around 7pm 🎫Tickets: None 🚗Self-driving route: Tunisia City - Kairouan, about 160KM, 2 hours 🚍Other modes of transportation from Tunisia to Kairouan: 1️⃣Shared taxi: The operating hours are 4:00-24:00, with intervals of 15-30 minutes, and will depart when there are 5 people seated. 2️⃣Bus: There are buses between all towns. 🌟🌟🌟Recommended attractions👇: ◾️The Great Mosque of Kairouan: one of the historic mosques in North Africa. ◾️Three Gate Mosque: Famous for its unique architectural style. ◾️Agrabid Cistern: an ancient cistern with important historical and architectural value. ◾️Old Town Medina: There is a strong atmosphere of life, there are many shops, and local people gathering to sell goods. ◾️The beautiful scenery on the street, the gathering of men, chatting, drinking tea and bragging. ⚠️Warm reminder: ◾️You can climb to the top of the Great Mosque of Kairouan to overlook the beautiful scenery of the old city. ◾️If you need to enter the mosque, please pay attention to your attire.
