Ez-Zitouna Mosque, a historic landmark in Tunis's Medina, offers a culturally rich experience where non-Muslim visitors can typically explore its magnificent courtyard and outer areas, while the main prayer hall is generally reserved for Muslims. Accessibility involves some uneven surfaces typical of historic sites, so it might not be fully wheelchair accessible, though the courtyard is generally navigable. Both solo exploration and guided visits are possible, with a guide offering valuable historical and religious context, especially given access restrictions. The mosque is open year-round, though hours may vary during religious holidays like Ramadan, and a strict modest dress code (including a head covering for women) is required. Entry to accessible areas is often free or involves a very small fee, with a typical visit lasting between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, making it an essential stop when exploring the bustling Medina.
