Discover the Roman amphitheater of El Djem and its museum

Visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites in one day

Explore Kairouan, one of Islam’s holiest cities

Learn Tunisia’s rich Islamic and Roman history from local guides

Step into the heart of Tunisia’s spiritual and historical legacy with a full-day tour to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Kairouan and El Djem (ancient Thysdrus). Founded in 670, Kairouan is considered the fourth holiest city in Islam and flourished under the Aghlabid dynasty in the 9th century. Though the political capital shifted to Tunis in the 12th century, Kairouan remained a vital religious and cultural center. On your visit, explore iconic landmarks such as the Great Mosque of Okba, the Mosque of the Three Doors, and the Aghlabid Basins. You'll also have time to wander the medina's charming streets and shop for traditional crafts.

Your journey continues to El Djem, once a thriving Roman city known as Thysdrus. There, you’ll explore the remarkably well-preserved amphitheater—one of the largest in the Roman world—and delve into the region’s past at the nearby archaeological museum. Throughout the day, enjoy a taste of local Tunisian cuisine with a traditional lunch that reflects the region’s rich culinary heritage. This tour offers a unique blend of spiritual depth, architectural marvels, and historical discovery.
