Tunisia Travel | The Independent Kairouan

🚙155 kilometers south from the city of Tunis, we arrived at the historical capital of Kairouan in the central east of Tunisia, a city that was built 1500 years ago and is now the fourth largest city in Tunisia. This long-standing and elegant city now appears to be independent in the turbulent years, with the city's white walls and yellow buildings chanting in the wind, and the people's robes showing a firm and devout devotion in the shadows of the alleys. In addition to being awe-inspiring, I have more awe for Tunisia's heavy history! 📌A little knowledge. Tunisian Muslims believe that making a pilgrimage to the Great Mosque of Kairouan seven times is equivalent to making a pilgrimage to Mecca once. The city of Kairouan, which was built in 670, from 800 to 909, the Aghlabid dynasty established its capital here, and Kairouan has since become famous and become one of the four holy places of Islam. The city's streets are winding, shops are lined up, there are more than 80 mosques, more than 100 tombs, dozens of reservoirs and domed indoor markets.
