The Great Mosque of Kairouan, one of the most significant Islamic monuments in North Africa, is renowned for its impressive architecture, including a vast prayer hall, a majestic minaret, and a beautiful courtyard. Accessibility may be challenging for individuals with mobility issues due to uneven surfaces and stairs. A solo visit allows for independent exploration, while a guided tour provides valuable historical and cultural context. There are no specific seasonal restrictions, but dress modestly when visiting. The entrance fee is relatively inexpensive, and a typical visit lasts between 1 to 3 hours. Note that non-Muslims may face restrictions in accessing certain areas of the mosque.
