Medina of Kairouan

The old city is considered one of the most prominent features of Kairouan, as it was established at the beginning to be an impregnable fortress during the Islamic conquests during the period of the rule of Uqba bin Nafeh, who considered it the headquarters of the armies. It is still bustling with life in its old corners, as it contains a number of landmarks visited by locals and tourists alike, as well as the many shops and markets that sell various traditional local products, and of course the many cafes and restaurants, both traditional and popular, where you can sit relaxed after an exploratory tour.
