Things to do in Kairouan

Kairouan is considered one of the most important cities for Muslims in Tunisia. The reason for this is because seven visits to its Great Mosque or Great Mosque of Sidi-Uqba equals a visit to Mecca. The Mosque of Barber and the Aghlabid basins are important places of interest too. In addition, Kairouan has a huge historic medina with traditional white buildings like other Tunisian cities.

Connections
