SHAHZWAN

All the way from Johor
Bahru. I'm so deep even
the ocean gets jealous.
Peace !

UQBA MOSQUE

The Arabic architecture
here is truly inspiring,

and the skyline is full of
skinny minarets and
bulky domes. But it's

probably the back alleys
of the city's medina that

steal the show

GREAT MOSQUE

A hypostyle mosque
that also reflects how
pre-Islamic and eastern
Islamic art and motifs
were incorporated into

the religious
architecture of Islamic

North Africa.



EL DJEM

This incredibly well-
preserved Roman relic
is Tunisia's big
sightseeing highlight,
one of the most
popular things to do on
day trips from the
coastal resorts, and one
of the best examples of
amphitheater
architecture left
standing in the world.

SOUQ,

KAIROUAN

This lovely old town district is a warren of
looping lanes, rimmed by whitewashed
houses, and a shopping paradise with a
tempting selection of ceramics,
leatherwork, and metalwork on display.

MONASTIR RIBAT

Topped with its crenulated
parapets and red stone

bulwarks, is unquestionably
the major attraction in town.

BAB EL BHAR

A city gate in Tunis, the
capital of Tunisia. It
marks the separation
between the Medina of
Tunis and the European
city.

RIBAT, SOUSSE

The most ancient Muslim
monument in North
Africa. Its square
courtyard is surrounded
by arches and cells for
provisions.

THANK
YOU
