EL JEM-KAIROUAN, travel through history
El Jem
Take a trip to the city of El Jem to discover the 3rd biggest Coliseum worldwide.
Located near the coastal city of Mahdia, it is famous for its majestic Roman amphitheatre.
Moreover, the building is better preserved than the one in Rome. Every year it attracts thousands of visitors who seek travelling back in time and experiencing the gladiators' era.
The amphitheatre used to host up to 30,000 spectators to attend these fights.
Today and since 1985, the city holds the International Festival of Symphonic Music, every summer. It gives even more magic to the monument.
Throughout the year, the amphitheatre remains accessible to local tourists and foreigners.
Kairouan
From the Roman civilisation, we take you to the Arab epoch.
Kairouan is the first Arab-Muslim foundation in North Africa. Islamic religion started there before it spread over the Maghreb area. Besides, it possesses the most beautiful religious buildings of the country, such as the mosque of Sidi Sahbi, the patron saint of the city.
It is easy to recognise the rich Arab civilisation through several aspects of Kairouan: the Medina architecture, the monuments, the oriental markets and remarkable craftsmanship, especially for carpets manufacturing.
Today, Kairouan welcomes visitors who, also, seek to taste its popular local cuisine and pastries, including the famous "Makroud".
