Uncover Tunisia’s UNESCO-listed treasures on this full-day Tunisia UNESCO Heritage Tour from Tunis. From Kairouan’s sacred mosques to El Jem’s Roman amphitheater and Carthage’s ancient ruins, this journey connects you to 3,000 years of history. Expert guides decode legends of empires, faith, and innovation.
Begin at Kairouan, Islam’s fourth holiest city. Explore the 7th-century Great Mosque, where towering columns and a minimalist courtyard reflect early Islamic design. Wander the Medina’s labyrinthine alleys, alive with carpet weavers, copper artisans, and spice stalls. Guides explain Kairouan’s role as a pilgrimage site and trading hub.
Next, visit El Jem, home to the world’s third-largest Roman amphitheater. Walk through gladiator tunnels and imagine 35,000 spectators cheering below. Learn how this UNESCO site symbolized Rome’s dominance and hosted chariot races. The on-site museum displays mosaics depicting daily life in Roman Africa.
Conclude in Carthage, the Phoenician city-state that challenged Rome. Explore the Antonine Baths’ seaside ruins, Punic ports, and Byrsa Hill’s panoramic views. Guides recount Hannibal’s legendary campaigns and Carthage’s destruction in 146 BCE. The adjacent Carthage Museum houses artifacts from Tunisia’s layered past.
