    (Translated by Google) It is located in the wonderful old town of Tunis. The area is the most beautiful landmark in the capital. (Original) Tunisz csodálatos óvárosában található. A környék a legszebb nevezetesség a fővárosban.

    The Ez-Zitouna Mosque, located in Tunis, Tunisia, is a historic and revered place of worship. Dating back to the 8th century, it stands as one of the oldest and most significant mosques in North Africa. Its intricate architecture and cultural importance make it a captivating destination for both religious purposes and exploration of the region's rich history.

    Beautiful mosque. Unfortunately my Nike trainers and socks were stolen back in August of 2019! If anyone has them please let me know and apologize in the name of Allah. Other than that great mosque, CCTV would go a long way though.

    (Translated by Google) Architecture and its aesthetics were not the only exception that the Zaytuna Mosque enjoyed. Rather, its cultural and scientific role constituted leadership in the Arab and Islamic world as the concept of the Islamic University was taken from its founding and the establishment of its position as a teaching center, through the University of Zaytuna. The mosque played a leading role in spreading Arab-Islamic culture in The country of Morocco, and in its rehab, was founded the first school of thought in Africa, which spread a strict scientific spirit and a modern approach to tracking issues in critique and scrutiny. Among the most prominent symbols of this school are Ali Bin Ziyad, its founder, Asad Bin Al Furat and Imam Sahnoun, the owner of the blog that arranged and codified the Maliki school. The University of Zaytuniyah was also well-known in the Hafsid era by the interpreter and scholar Ibn Arafa al-Tunisi, the owner of numerous works, and Ibn Khaldun, the historian and innovator of sociology. However, the mosque experienced a major setback when the Spanish army entered it in summer of 1573 in what is known as the Friday, and seized its manuscripts, and transferred a number of them to Spain and to the Pope's library, and this is in the context of the conquest of Tunisia. The nation of Islam and its advancement. As the University of Zaytuna did not suffice to be a beacon that radiates its knowledge and thought in the world and contributes to the march of creativity and progress and is based on true science and true knowledge and tolerant Islamic values, but rather was a basis for liberation and liberation through preparing national leaders and establishing awareness of the Arab-Islamic identity in which the historian Ibn Khaldun graduated And Ibn Arafa, Al-Tijani, Abu Al-Hassan Al-Shazly, Ibrahim Al-Riahi, Salem Bouhajib, Muhammad Al-Nakhali, Muhammad Al-Tahir Bin Ashour, owner of liberation and enlightenment, Muhammad Al-Khader Hussein, Sheikh of Al-Azhar Mosque, Muhammad Al-Aziz Ja’it, and the reformer, the leader Abdel Aziz Al-Thaalbi and the poet Tunisian Abu Al-Qasim Al-Shab The author of (Songs of Life Bureau) and Taher Al-Haddad, author of Our Woman’s Book on Sharia, Society, Islamic Education and the Reform Movement at the Zaytuna Mosque. Among his scientific episodes, the Algerian reformer Abdel Hamid bin Badis, former Algerian President Houari Boumediene and many others have emerged from many Tunisian, Maghreb and Arab elites. (Original) لم يكن المعمار وجماليته الاستثناء الوحيد الذي تمتع به جامع الزيتونة، بل شكل دوره الحضاري والعلمي الريادة في العالم العربي والإسلامي إذ اتخذ مفهوم الجامعة الإسلامية منذ تأسيسه وتثبيت مكانته كمركز للتدريس، وذلك عبر جامعة الزيتونة، وقد لعب الجامع دورا طليعيا في نشر الثقافة العربية الإسلامية في بلاد المغرب، وفي رحابه تأسست أول مدرسة فكرية بإفريقية أشاعت روحا علمية صارمة ومنهجا حديثا في تتبع المسائل نقدا وتمحيصا، ومن أبرز رموز هذه المدرسة علي بن زياد مؤسسها وأسد بن الفرات والإمام سحنون صاحب المدونة التي رتبت المذهب المالكي وقننته. وكذلك اشتهرت الجامعة الزيتونية في العهد الحفصي بالفقيه المفسر والمحدث ابن عرفة التونسي صاحب المصنفات العديدة وابن خلدون المؤرخ ومبتكر علم الاجتماع. إلا أن الجامع عرف نكسة كبرى عندما دخله الجيش الإسباني في صائفة 1573 فيما يعرف بوقعة الجمعة، واستولوا على مخطوطاته، ونقلوا عددا منها إلى إسبانيا وإلى مكتبة البابا، وهذا في إطار غزو تونس.لقد تخرج من الزيتونة طوال مسيرتها آلاف العلماء والمصلحين الذين عملوا على إصلاح أمة الإسلام والنهوض بها. إذ لم تكتف جامعة الزيتونة بأن تكون منارة تشع بعلمها وفكرها في العالم وتساهم في مسيرة الإبداع والتقدم وتقوم على العلم الصحيح والمعرفة الحقة والقيم الإسلامية السمحة، وإنما كانت إلى ذلك قاعدة للتحرر والتحرير من خلال إعداد الزعامات الوطنية وترسيخ الوعي بالهوية العربية الإسلامية ففيها تخرج المؤرخ ابن خلدون وابن عرفة والتيجاني وأبو الحسن الشاذلي وإبراهيم الرياحي وسالم بوحاجب ومحمد النخلي ومحمد الطاهر بن عاشور صاحب التحرير والتنوير، ومحمد الخضر حسين شيخ جامع الأزهر ومحمد العزيز جعيط والمصلح الزعيم عبد العزيز الثعالبي وشاعر تونس أبو القاسم الشابي صاحب (ديوان أغاني الحياة) وطاهر الحداد صاحب كتاب امرأتنا في الشريعة والمجتمع والتعليم الإسلامي وحركة الإصلاح في جامع الزيتونة، ومن حلقاته العلمية برز المصلح الجزائري عبد الحميد بن باديس والرئيس الجزائري السابق هواري بومدين وغيرهم كثير من النخب التونسية والمغاربية والعربية.

    An ancient historical place that brings peace to your soul, whatever your religion.... It is a historical mosque that dates back to the year 698 AD around 79 AH. Despite that, you find visitors from different religions, races and nationalities of the world.

    Highly overrated as seems to be only main tourist attraction in city centre. Not much to look at. Opens after 2pm. Mosque is not in a good condition generally and need of repair. Repairs done so far are really bad and historic areas been repaired using really bad patch work. I saw people doing wudu in the courtyard from a tap - was really surprised to not see proper facilities on such a big mosque.

    (Translated by Google) Tunisia played important roles in ancient history since the era of the Phoenicians and the Amazigh and Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals and was known as the province of Africa during the Roman rule, which has named the entire continent in its name. Muslims conquered [33] in the seventh century and founded the city of Kairouan in 50 AH to be the second Islamic city in North Africa after Fustat. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was called "Tunisian Alaaalh." Signed under the French occupation in 1881, then it gained independence in 1956 to become officially the Kingdom of Tunisia at the end of the reign of Mohamed Lamine Bay. [34] With the announcement of the Republic of Tunisia on July 25 1957, the Habib Bourguiba became its first president. Followed by the latter in the Presidency of the Republic Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's coup d'etat in 1987, and continued his rule until 2011, when he fled during the Tunisian revolution. Tunisia has adopted the export-oriented industries in the process of liberalization and privatization of the economy, which has averaged GDP 5% since early 1990 growth, and states that Tunisia has suffered corruption under the rule of the former president. [35] Tunisia has close relations with both historical and from the United States and the European Union, a key ally outside NATO and has several advanced partnership agreements collected with the European Union, which is the first customer of Tunisia and strong economic ally. Tunisia is also in the Arab League and the African Union member. Tunisia has established close relations with France in particular, through economic cooperation and industrial modernization, and privatization programs. Government's approach to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, it is also an intermediary in the field of diplomacy in the Middle East and has made a significant contributor to impose peace in the world through its troops deployed in areas of conflict and the United Nations. [36] [37] (Original) لعبت تونس أدوارا هامة في التاريخ القديم منذ عهد الفينيقيين والأمازيغ والقرطاجيين والونداليين والرومان وقد عرفت باسم مقاطعة أفريكا إبان الحكم الروماني لها والتي سميت باسمها كامل القارة. فتحها المسلمون [33] في القرن السابع الميلادي وأسسوا فيها مدينة القيروان سنة 50 هـ لتكون ثاني مدينة إسلامية في شمال أفريقيا بعد الفسطاط. في ظل الدولة العثمانية، كانت تسمى "الإيالة التونسية". وقعت تحت الاحتلال الفرنسي في عام 1881، ثم حصلت على استقلالها في عام 1956 لتصبح رسميا المملكة التونسية في نهاية عهد محمد الأمين باي.[34] مع إعلان الجمهورية التونسية في 25 يوليو 1957، أصبح الحبيب بورقيبة أول رئيس لها. تلى الأخيرَ في رئاسة الجمهورية زين العابدين بن علي بالانقلاب عام 1987، واستمر حكمه حتى 2011 حين هرب خلال الثورة التونسية. اعتمدت تونس على الصناعات الموجهة نحو التصدير في عملية تحرير وخصخصة الاقتصاد الذي بلغ متوسط نمو الناتج المحلي الإجمالي 5 ٪ منذ أوائل 1990، ويذكر ان تونس عانت الفساد في ظل حكم الرئيس السابق.[35] تونس لديها علاقات وثيقة وتاريخية مع كل من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية والاتحاد الأوروبي وهي حليف رئيسي خارج الناتو ولديها عدة اتفاقيات شراكة متقدمة تجمعها مع الاتحاد الأوروبي والذي يعد الزبون الأول لتونس والحليف الاقتصادي القوي. تونس هي أيضا عضو في جامعة الدول العربية والاتحاد الأفريقي. وأنشأت تونس علاقات وثيقة مع فرنسا على وجه الخصوص، من خلال التعاون الاقتصادي والتحديث الصناعي، وبرامج الخصخصة. وقد جعلت النهج الذي تتبعه الحكومة في الصراع بين إسرائيل وفلسطين كما أنها وسيط في مجال الدبلوماسية في الشرق الأوسط ومساهم كبير في فرض السلام في العالم عبر قواتها المنتشرة في مناطق النزاع والتابعة للأمم المتحدة.[36][37]

    Beautiful mosque. The history is evident, lovely architecture. Mosque itself is one of the oldest in Africa and the world, roughly 1300 years and has been a centre of knowledge and religion for that time. Courtyard is a peaceful place to spend time, prayer hall is expansive and clean.

    The mosque is the oldest in the Capital of Tunisia and covers an area of 5,000 square metres (1.2 acres) with nine entrances.It has 160 authentic columns brought originally from the ruins of the old city of Carthage. The mosque is known to host one of the first and greatest universities in the history of Islam. Many Muslim scholars were graduated from the Al-Zaytuna for over a thousand years. From Ibn 'Arafa, one of the greatest scholars of Islam, Imam Maziri, the great traditionalist and jurist to the famous Tunisian poet Aboul-Qacem Echebbi and countless others all taught there.

  • 1/5 Joshua Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolute disaster of a tourist destination. It used to be allowed for tourists to enter, like the other great mosques of Kairouan and Sousse. Now it is just the grounds for scams on top of scams. The people there lie and say the mosque opens “8-10”, “at 3”, etc. but it all seems to be lies and misleading. It seems the mosque is only open for Muslims and only at prayer time. Since you can’t visit the mosque, these same people take you to “viewpoints” with “museums” and “exhibitions” and their “father’s shop”, just to sell carpets and other goods for ridiculous prices. At the end of your unsolicited tour, they ask for a tip. If you don’t give a lot, they get angry. In a country like Tunisia and in a UNESCO site, this is just awful and surprising. I would skip the Medina all together if you come to Tunis until this is fixed.

    Beautiful historic mosque (and one of the first universities/educational institutions in the world) in the centre of Tunis. Large courtyard you can walk around. It is a bit confusing where you can enter, so you might have to walk around it a couple times but be on the lookout for doors with signs. Non-Muslims can visit up to 6pm I believe. For Muslims, there are external wudu facilities in a separate building right outside.

  • 1/5 Tomasz G. 2 years ago on Google
    Closed for nonmuslims so you will see nothing as it is tightly build up all around. No official guided tours inside that would enable to get to know the place and local culture.

    Looks nice from the outside. Too bad every door going in has a sign saying "only muslims can enter here", despite 3 different people telling us there was an entry for non-muslims to at least view it (although to be fair, 2 of those were just trying to scam us into buying carpets). We were also told that if we just went in, no-one would say anything to us, but we decided to not take the chance.

    As an architectural and historical site? 5 stars. As a tourist destination? 1 star - you're not allowed access if you're not Muslim. Wasted potential for the tourist destination Tunis.

  • 3/5 Adil W. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a shadow of its former self. The structure itself is definitely worth seeing- tall beautiful arches, a wide open courtyard and a rectangular covered prayer area. It's in the heart of the traditional market. Sadly, most of the time the mosque is closed... even on Fridays it opens about 30 minutes before Jumah. Friday sermons are depressing at times and the Imam doesn't recite with tajweed During Ramadan the evening prayers, taraweih, are well done with a different reciter. If you don't like unruly crowds avoid going on the 27 of Ramadan. The people who attend the daily prayers are the workers in the market so they tend to be a bit rude and rough.

    They don't let you go inside even if you cover your hair. They said i have to be dressed "modestly", whatever that means. I had my trousers and all my body parts covered, but apparently for them "modestly" means to have your trousers covered with extra layer of scarf or skirts. I think they should be more welcoming when it comes to tourists.

    (Translated by Google) The Zitouna Mosque, or Olive Tree Mosque, the second largest mosque in Tunisia after the Great Mosque of Kairouan, is located in the heart of the Medina of Tunis The Great Mosque occupies the heart of the city from which radiate the main arteries to lead to the famous gates of the Medina. Many ceremonies are celebrated there in the presence of religious authorities (mufti and imams) and notables of the capital. Among these is the Mouled, once celebrated in the Tunisian zaouïas then in the beylical palace. It is on the initiative of Sidi Brahim Riahi that the sovereigns agree to come to the mosque to celebrate the mouled with their subjects. Attached to Malikism, it is the oldest and largest sanctuary in the capital of Tunisia. Built on an area of ​​some 5,000 m2, the mosque has nine entrances and has 184 ancient columns mainly from the site of Carthage. For a long time it was a defensive post facing the sea, two control towers remaining in the northeast and southeast corners of the building. (Original) La mosquée Zitouna, ou mosquée de l'olivier, deuxième plus grande mosquée de Tunisie après la Grande Mosquée de Kairouan, est située au coeur de la Medina de Tunis La Grande Mosquée occupe le c?ur de la cité à partir duquel rayonnent les grandes artères pour aboutir aux fameuses portes de la Medina. On y célèbre de nombreuses cérémonies en présence des autorités religieuses (mufti et imams) et des notables de la capitale. Parmi celles-ci figure le Mouled, jadis fêté dans les zaouïas tunisoises puis dans le palais beylical. C'est à l'initiative de Sidi Brahim Riahi que les souverains acceptent de se déplacer à la mosquée pour fêter le mouled avec leurs sujets. Rattachée au malékisme, elle est le sanctuaire le plus ancien et le plus vaste de la capitale de la Tunisie. Érigée sur une superficie de quelque 5 000 m2, la mosquée est dotée de neuf entrées et possède 184 colonnes antiques provenant essentiellement du site de Carthage. Elle a longtemps constitué un poste défensif tourné vers la mer, deux tours de contrôle subsistant dans les angles nord-est et sud-est du bâtiment.
