The site attracts thousands of local and international visitors for its magnificent architectural and spiritual value.

Lunch is included and will be in Kairouan. The next stop is at the village of El Djem, home of the Roman amphitheatre of El Djem, the third largest Roman amphitheatre in the world, built around 18 centuries ago, and exceptionally well-preserved up to this day.
