Kairouan - the fourth holiest city of the Islam (after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem) just to let you know a little bit on the city. Kairouan is also the former capital of Tunisia - so it once was the most important city of the country. The Medina - or the old city center - has several things to offer - from the typical shops where you can find the souvenirs you need to buy from Tunisia. Don't forget prepare to bargain and also be patient it will be some hussle from the merchants, but it is a cultural thing so you must not take it personally. So you can find excellent quality and it is up to your bargaining skills how much it's gonna cost you. Beside the shops , you have small eateries and tea/coffee shops, you have old city walls to visit. Than you have the several Mosques that you will find in the Medina and some other holy places . Beware, be dressed appropriately and show respect when entering the places of worship - regardless what religion you are, pay the due respect to others believes. To sum it up - it was a true cultural imerition strolling through the Medina - great nonetheless definitely a must do when you travel to Tunisia.

The city’s old quarter hearkens back to the opulence once prevalent from the 12th to the 16th century.

This was truly an Amazing place. So much to witness and experience in one place. You see narrow streets, mosques, historic buildings, vendors with food, jewelry, carpets and much more. You can go to the rooftop and view lots of the area. Highly recommend.
