"Zaouia of Sidi Abid el-Ghariani" Kairouan Things to Do Tip by Willettsworld

Kairouan Things to Do: 76 reviews and 217 photos

The Zaouia of Sidi Abid el-Ghariani dates from the 14th century and is a complex surrounding a tomb of a holy man who lived in Kairouan. Notable features are the fine wood and stucco ceiling, the sumptuously decorated dome of the tomb and the inner courtyard with its beautiful arcades. This is due to become the headquarters of the Association de Sauvegarde de la Médina, which is concerned with the preservation and restoration of the old town.

Admission: Included in the TD7 multi-site ticket.
