The Great Mosque of Kairouan, considered the 3rd most important Islamic monument in the Arab world after Mecca and Jerusalem
The Medina of Kairouan is a true open-air museum and still alive with Arab-Muslim art and architecture by its monuments (more than a hundred), its souks, its houses and its alleys which remain a convincing testimony of his prestigious past. Since 9/12/1988, the Kairouan Medina has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List by answering 5 of the six evaluation criteria (Criteria for inscription: I - II - III - V - VI). "The Great Mosque is one of the major monuments of Islam" and a "masterpiece of universal architecture" (I). "The Grand Mosque served as a model for several Maghreb mosques; especially with regard to the decorative motifs. "The Mosque of the Three Gates is the oldest mosque with carved facade of Islam [...]" (II). "... Kairouan offers an exceptional testimony to the civilization of the first centuries of the Hegira in Ifriqiya (III). The traditional Muslim architecture of Kairouan, associated with its spatial configuration, has "become vulnerable under the effect of economic changes and constitutes a precious heritage ..." (V). "Kairouan is one of the holy cities and spiritual capitals of Islam" (VI).

About Tunis
Tunis is the capital of Tunisia, a Mediterranean city of a walled medina, Roman mosaics, ancient Carthage and the blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said.
Tunis grew around its medina, a World Heritage maze of vaulted lanes, mosques, palaces and souks that spreads from the Zitouna Mosque. The souks specialise: perfumes, gold, leather and the red felt caps called chechia each have their own alleys. The medina is entered through Bab el Bhar, the French Gate, from the broad Avenue Habib Bourguiba, which has French colonial buildings and cafés and runs to the cathedral of St Vincent de Paul.
