Though non-Muslims cannot enter this mosque, a look inside the doorway reveals its most noteworthy feature—a motley set of columns relocated from numerous other locations.

On the day we visited there were very few visitors - mainly western tourists. Artistically this holy mosque is very simple and refined. At first glance it may seem somewhat plain, but as you look closer, artistically it is very beautifully designed and sophisticated. The lines are stunning and the details are of high quality. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this holy mosque is well worth a visit if you are in Tunisia.

Ages ago the local barber performed ritual circumcisions, hence the name of this ornate cathedral.

This is the oldest mosque (foundation dates back to 732AD) in Tunis and is enormous consisting of the prayer room, courtyard, galleries, university, ancillary rooms and outbuildings. As non-muslims, we could not enter but did get good views from the rooftop terraces of a few shops.
