Kairouan has a striking white-washed medina with several amazing mosques, including the Great Mosque (ca 1,000 A.D.) and the Mosque of Three Doors (900 A.D.) The souks are innocuous and quite charming, with some antiques to be had. Kairouan has a super new and free museum opposite the Gt Mosque. Adequate cheap hotels and food to be had.
