Here's
my
super
review
of
most
Kairouan
and
Tunis
attractions
and
some
tips:
*first,
if
you
haven't
bought
your
ticket,
my
first
advice
would
be
to
skip
Tunis
as
a
destination.
Worst
trip
of
my
life
overall.
*second,
do
not
trust
all
reviews
nor
all
pictures,
many
pictures
do
not
match
in
Google
maps,
you'll
see
what
I
mean
when
you
arrive
(but
remember
first
tip)
KAIROUAN
Kairouan
is
one
of
the
most
sacred
cities
in
Muslim
religion,
which
kept
my
hopes
high
of
finding
something
beautiful,
but
as
usual
in
Tunisia,
this
city
didn't
fail
to
disappoint.
Beware
of
pictures
that
do
not
match
(people
upload
pictures
of
one
mosque
that
belong
to
another,
or
fully
edited
unreal
pictures).
Great
Mosque
of
Kairouan.
Well.
Just
another
plain
mosque,
nothing
particularly
special,
cannot
get
inside
but
you
can
take
a
peek
from
the
doors/windows.
If
you've
been
in
Istanbul
you're
not
missing
anything
here.
And
as
usual
there
will
be
"guides"
pretending
to
befriend
you
that
will
force
you
into
being
guided
(they
walk
by
your
side
and
start
telling
you
things
and
suddenly
he
is
your
guide
and
will
end
up
requesting
money)
Mosque
of
the
three
doors.
CLOSED.
Small
and
a
bit
cute.
Can
see
it
from
the
outside
only.
Mausolée
Sidi
Sahbi
&
Zaouia
of
Sidi
Sahabi.
The
first
one
was
closed
when
we
arrived,
probably
open
at
other
times.
The
other
thing
is
not
particularly
attractive.
Worth
a
few
minutes
if
your
time.
And
that's
pretty
much
it
for
Kairouan,
you
may
see
a
few
other
things
in
travel
blogs,
good
luck
with
that.
TUNIS
-
Bardo
museum:
CLOSED
as
of
April
2022.
And
will
most
likely
remain
close
for
a
looong
time.
Thing
is,
there's
a
lot
of
politic
unrest
in
Tunis
(news
we
don't
get
in
Europe)
and
the
president
recently
dissolved
the
parliament
(the
parliament
is
in
the
very
same
building
of
the
museum
and
the
same
reason
of
the
terrorist
attacks
in
2015.
-
Monument
of
Kasbah,
a
nice
monument
without
much
history.
Nothing
much.
-
Zaytune
Mosque.
CLOSED
if
you're
not
praying.
Beware
of
the
super
edited
pictures
in
Google.
A
local
tolds
us
sometimes
you
can
pay
to
go
into
the
yard,
nothing
much
to
see.
-
Medina
(Tunis).
Hell
unleashed.
One
of
the
most
uncomfortable
moments
in
my
life.
Prepare
to
be
harassed
by
the
sellers
and
some
randoms
people
pretending
to
try
to
help
you,
they
will
show
you
a
thing
or
two
against
your
will
and
then
will
try
to
charge
you
money.
Awful
experience.
-
Mausoleum
Torbet
el
Bey.
Probably
the
only
good
experience
in
my
whole
trip.
It
is
still
under
construction
and
not
open
for
visitors,
but
an
elder
guy
was
sitting
there
and
when
we
asked
if
we
could
go
in
he
gave
us
a
guided
tour
(he
closed
the
door
so
no
other
people
could
get
in)
and
charged
us
30
TND
for
both
of
us
(well
diserved
though
not
pre
arranged
so
very
uncomfortable)
-
Municipal
market.
Interesting
experience,
we
were
being
guided
by
our
first
mistake
(one
of
those
guys
that
pretends
to
help
you
from
a
good
heart
and
because
he
was
passing
by.
They
are
never
passing
by,
they're
looking
for
tourists)
not
a
bad
experience
overall,
you
get
to
see
flowers
and
fruits,
nothing
super
special
either.
-
Cathedral
of
St.
Vincent.
CLOSED.
And
not
only
that,
surrounded
by
a
barricade.
There's
policeman
outside
and
technically
forbidden
to
take
pictures.
It's
nice
to
see,
nothing
particularly
special.
