Founded in 670, Kairouan flourished under the Aghlabid dynasty in the 9th century. Despite the transfer of the political capital to Tunis in the 12th century, Kairouan remained the Maghreb's principal holy city. Its rich architectural heritage includes the Great Mosque, with its marble and porphyry columns, and the 9th-century Mosque of the Three Gates.

Située au centre de la Tunisie dans une plaine à une distance presque égale de la mer et de la montagne, Kairouan est la plus ancienne base arabo-musulmane du Maghreb ) et l'une de ses principales villes saintes. Capitale de l'Ifriqiya pendant cinq siècles, elle a été un lieu de diffusion exceptionnel de la civilisation arabo-musulmane. Kairouan constitue un témoignage unique sur les premiers siècles de cette civilisation et sur son développement architectural et urbanistique. Le site inscrit est un bien en série qui comprend la médina et ses faubourgs, les Bassins des Aghlabides et la Zawiya de Sidi Sahib. La médina (54 ha) et ses faubourgs (20 ha) est un ensemble urbain qui présente toutes les composantes d'une ville arabo-musulmane. La médina est constituée d'habitations juxtaposées réparties en quartiers que séparent des rues étroites et sinueuses ; elle est entourée par des remparts qui s'étendent sur plus de trois kilomètres. Le tracé des faubourgs est plus rectiligne et les maisons y ont un caractère plus rural. La médina est dotée de quelques monuments remarquables dont la Grande Mosquée, un chef-d'œuvre architectural qui a servi de modèle à plusieurs mosquées du Maghreb, et la Mosquée des Trois Portes, qui présente la plus ancienne façade sculptée de l'art musulman qui nous soit parvenue. Les Bassins des Aghlabides, un réservoir à ciel ouvert formé de deux citernes communiquant entre elles et qui remonte au IXe siècle, constituent un des plus beaux ensembles hydrauliques conçus pour alimenter la ville en eau. La Zawiya de Sidi Sahib abrite les restes d'un compagnon de Mahomet, Abou Zama El-Balawi. Thank you note from the video) Located in the center of Tunisia in a plain at an almost equal distance from the sea and the mountains, Kairouan is the oldest Muslim Arab Maghreb base) and one of its main holy cities . Capital of Ifriqiya for five centuries it has been a venue of the outstanding Muslim civilization. Kairouan is a unique testimony to the early centuries of civilization and its architectural and urban development. The inscribed site is a serial property comprising the Medina and its suburbs, Basins Aghlabids and Zawiya of Sidi Sahib. Medina (54 ha) and its suburbs (20 ha) is an urban ensemble which has all the components of an Arab-Muslim city. Medina consists of juxtaposed houses divided into separate neighborhoods of narrow, winding streets it is surrounded by walls that extend over more than three kilometers. The layout of the suburbs is straighter and homes that have a more rural character. Medina has some remarkable monuments including the Great Mosque, an architectural masterpiece that has served as a model for several mosques in the Maghreb, and the Mosque of the Three Gates, which has the oldest carved façade of Muslim art to have survived. Basins Aghlabids an open tank consists of two tanks communicating with each other and going back to the ninth century, is one of the finest hydraulic systems designed to supply the city with water.

Visiting thet wo large water reservoirs called Aghlabid basins and the Great Mosque of Sidi-Uqba , which is said to largely consist of its original building materials. In fact most of the column stems and capitals were taken from ruins of earlier-period buildings, while others were produced locally. There are 414 marble, granite and porphyry columns in the mosque.
Also theThe Mosque of the Three Gates was founded in 866. Its façade is a notable example of Islamic architecture. It has three arched doorways surmounted by three inscriptions in Kufic script, interspersed with floral and geometrical reliefs and topped by a carved frieze; the first inscription includes the verses 70-71 in the sura 33 of Quran. The small minaret was added during the restoration works held under the Hafsid dynasty.

튀니스 도심에서 북쪽으로 17 킬로미터 거리에 있는 시디 부 사이드. 푸른 하늘 아래 하얀 집들이 동화 속 그림처럼 모여 있는 작은 마을이다. 모든 건물의 벽은 흰색으로, 창문과 대문은 파란색으로 칠한 이곳. 1920년대 한 프랑스 예술가가 마을을 이렇게 꾸미기 시작하면서 백년 가까이 그 전통을 이어오고 있단다. 보는 이를 황홀경에 빠뜨리는 색의 마법 때문일까. 튀니지의 여행자들에겐 인기가 많은 곳이다. 번잡한 큰길에서 벗어나, 인적이 드문 골목을 천천히 거닌다. 붉은 부겐빌레아 꽃과 저마다 다른 문양과 형태의 파란 대문이 눈을 호사롭게 만든다. 마을을 한 바퀴 둘러보다보니, 파란 페인트칠을 하는 광경을 이따금씩 볼 수 있었다. “옆에서 부는 바닷바람에 소금기가 있어서, 파란 칠이 빨리 벗겨질 수가 있거든요. 바람이나 비도 이유가 될 수 있고요.” “보통 얼마 만에 한 번씩 다시 칠하나요?” “2년에서 3년에 한 번씩 해요.” 볼수록 오묘한 느낌이 드는 파란색이다. “이건 ‘시디 부 사이드 파란색’ 이라고 불러요. 만일 이 색깔의 페인트를 사려면, 가게에서‘시디 부 사이드 파란색’을 달라고 하면 돼요.” 파란색의 창문과 대문은, 시디 부 사이드에서 꼭 지켜야 할 문화유산이 됐다. 그런데, 문들만 파란 것은 아닌가보다. “그 파란색 옷을 좋아하시나 봐요?” “아니요. 꼭 그래서 입은 건 아니에요.” “입고 계신 옷이 예쁘다고 하네요.” “고마워요.”

깨끗하게 정돈된 수도 튀니스는 아프리카지만 유럽의 분위기를 간직한 도시다. 파리의 샹제리제를 연상시키는 하비브부르기바 거리를 지나면 개선문을 닮은 프랑스문을 만난다. 그리고 이 문이, 튀니스를 유럽과 아랍으로 나눈다. 이곳에서부터, 진짜 아랍의 정취를 느낄 수 있는 구시가지, 메디나가 시작되기 때문이다. 미로같이 좁은 골목에는 전통 상점들이 줄지어있다. 기념품 가게들의 호객 행위를 지나 내 눈에 띈 건, 전통 의상을 파는 옷가게다. 아랍의 다른 나라들보다도, 튀니지의 여성복은 그 빛깔과 무늬가 참 화려하다. 하지만 이렇게 몸매를 드러내는 옷은, 집에서만 입는단다. 그런데, 내 관심을 더 끄는 것은 따로 있었다. 거리에서 자주 볼 수 있는 남자들의 코트. 카샤비야는 머리에서부터 뒤집어쓰기만 하면 되는 아주 간편한 외투다. “따뜻하네요. 굉장히 따뜻해요.” “주머니 넣는 부분이 뚫려있어요.” 그런데, 주머니가 있어야 할 부분에 구멍이 나 있다! 그 구멍은 바지 호주머니에 손을 넣을 수 있도록 한 거예요. 내겐 좀 컸지만, 카샤비야가 튀니지의 첫 기념품이 됐다

Clean, orderly capital Tunis is a city that holds the atmosphere in Europe but in Africa. After the Habib called Bar Street is reminiscent of the Champs Elysees in Paris, he meets French doors resembling the Arc de Triomphe. And this statement is, to divide the European and Arab Tunis. Because from here, you can really feel the atmosphere of the old town, Arab, Medina will begin. The maze like narrow streets lined with traditional shops. Solicitation of souvenir shops across the ttuin thing in my eyes, and clothing stores selling traditional costumes. Than the rest of the Arab, women in Tunisia are indeed its gorgeous colors and patterns. But this outfit is revealing the body, Ira worn only at home. By the way, what attracts my attention was more particularly. Men's coat, which is often seen in the distance. Kasha Villa is a very simple coat that simply flip a letter from the head. 'm Warm. I'm pretty warm. I'm bored parts into the bag. However, this part should be in the hole or pocket! The holes are going to be put one hand in his pocket pants. Keotji me only a little, Kasha Villa has been the first souvenir of Tunisia

Oman Grand Mosque Visit
A glimpse of Oman's Grand Mosque
Tunisia Holiday 2017
Tunisia,
Although it’s famous for its sprawling sand dunes, elegant spas and desert Star War sets, the smallest country in North Africa is not always synonymous with beauty, but of course beauty is subjective and vastly underrated Tunisia is home to many places easily worthy of the word. From magical mountain oases to atmospheric holy cites, here is our collective choice for 10 of the most beautiful places to visit in Tunisia…
The most beautiful part of the country’s capital city is the old Arab walled town, otherwise known as the Medina. Expect fine examples of Arab architecture and lively souqs where everything from household goods to gold items can be bartered for. The atmosphere is intoxicating and gives you a taste of what life was like in the Arabian opulence era which reigned from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
Chebika
Of course it’s all a matter of opinion, but arguably the most beautiful places to visit in Tunisia are away from the cities. Chebika which lies at the foot of the mountains of the Djebel el Negueb is a perfect example. Here an Eden-like oasis of beautiful waterfalls, curious caverns and date palms surviving in rocky clefts is a dramatic sight – and unsurprisingly a popular tourist haunt.
Hammamet
Once a humble fishing village surrounded by lemon groves, Hammamet is now a thriving resort town lined with numerous hotels (Thomas Cook offers good prices on last minute holiday deals here). It actually Tunisia’s first tourist destination due to its fine beaches and warm waters, which are perfect for water sports. Although it’s not all about all inclusive hotels, Hammamet has a beautiful historic centre crisscrossed with narrow alleyways and here you’ll find an attractive medina and a 12th century Kasbah.
Sidi Bou Said
Perched on top of a steep cliff overlooking the Mediterranean is where you’ll find Tunisia’s prettiest town. Their gorgeous traditional houses have been whitewashed to perfection and beautifully accented with flashes of brilliant blue. It’s long been a bohemian enclave, but with a few trendy boutique hotels popping up it now attracts a more well- heeled crowd. Expect narrow cobbled streets lined with cafes, art shops and souvenir stalls framed by an abundance of fragrant, cascading flowers. The town also makes a great base to explore the nearby Roman ruins of Carthage.
The Sahara
Every visitor should include the world’s largest desert on their itinerary and the Sahara can be reached by tours arranged from most resort towns. The Eastern Sand Sea (Grand Erg Oriental) makes up a huge part of Southern Tunisia and it’s a magical place where scenes from Star Wars and the English Patient were once filmed. The area is best explored by jeep or by camel but to really up the romance stakes include an overnight stay in a traditional tent. Make sure you don’t miss Nefta, the most beautiful sand dunes in Tunisia and Chott el Jerid, a vast salt lake.
Matmata & the Ksour
Movie fans would instantly recognise the intriguing troglodytic houses of Matmata – when director George Lucas visited here he was so taken with the area he used it as a set in his famous Star Wars films. It’s a uniquely beautiful place, home to attractive honeycomb-esque granaries known as ghorfas. The curious architecture style stems from fortified Berber settlements and are so unusual they almost look other-worldly.
Sousse
Located right on the coast, this former military port is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and UNESCO world heritage site status. It’s both a bustling tourist resort and a beautifully preserved place – a fine example of a town dating from the first centuries of Islam. Visit for outstanding Arabo-Muslim and Mediterranean architecture including ramparts, a Ftata Mosque, a typical ribat and a medina which is also home to the city’s Great Mosque.
Tamerza
The largest mountain oasis in the country is also a popular beauty spot and comes with an abandoned old town. Located in the mountains north of of the salt lakes it’s an intriguing place with two waterfalls, an oasis and deep gorges. The town was abandoned after the river floods in 1962 and today it’s eerily quiet. Also make sure you include a visit nearby Mides, another mountain oasis which is home to a spectacular canyon.
Kairouan
This important holy city has also been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 670 it has a rich architectural heritage as well as an attractive medina and lively souqs. Highlights include Great Mosque of Okba – one of the largest and oldest mosques in Tunisia and and the 9th-century Mosque of the Three Gates. ...

Visite de la mosquée des Trois Portes
C'est une mosquée qui a 3 portes a l'entrée de sa facade. La mosquée des Trois Portes, également connue sous le nom de mosquée Ibn Khayrun, c'est une mosquée tunisienne située dans la médina de Kairouan. Élevée au xe siècle, elle possède la plus ancienne façade de mosquée sculptée et décorée du monde islamique. La mosquée, simple oratoire de quartier, est édifiée vers 252 de l'hégire (soit en 866) par le commerçant andalou installé à Kairouan, Muhammed bin Khairūn al-Ma'āfirī al-Andalusī.

시디 부사이드에서 지중해를 가장 잘 내려다 볼 수 있다는 곳이 있어 가는 길이다. 과연 언덕 위에는 많은 사람들이 모여 있었는데 하나같이 지중해를 바라보고 있었다. 수천 년간 바라보는 이들의 마음의 창이 되었을 지중해. 검푸르고 거친 대서양과는 달리 지중해의 물결은 온화한 코발트빛. 지중해가 로마의 젖줄이 되면서 유럽중심으로 역사가 만들어지고 알려졌지만 본래 지중해는 누구의 것도 아닌 고대 인류문명의 요람이었다.

As the lifeline of the Roman Mediterranean is known but made history in Europe was the original center of the Mediterranean is the cradle of ancient civilization, not even anyone's.
