This mausoleum is of great importance to the Islamic world. There is inside a famous tomb of Abu Zamaa el-Balaoui, a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is visited by many Muslims that visit Tunisia. The art work inside the walled mosque are beautifully tiled with repeating patterns, and also white plaster that is carved with intricate Arabic designs. Non Muslims cannot enter the tomb area. It is well worth a visit on the trail of Kairouan and covered by the one off payment of 12 dinar to enter the town’s historic sites.

Beautiful mausoleum with many engaged couples going to seek their blessings. Incredible Arabic architecture. The mausoleum itself is only accessible for muslims but the guy at the door will push you down on the doorstep so you can get a view of the incredible chandelier inside

Les musées sont d'une importance vitale pour la préservation et l'exposition de notre patrimoine culturel. Il est donc essentiel de mieux les protéger et les nettoyer. Les objets qui s'y trouvent sont des sources d'information et d'inspiration à transmettre aux générations futures avec leurs valeurs historiques et artistiques. La protection des objets contre les dommages, leur conservation dans des conditions climatiques adéquates et leur nettoyage régulier sont essentiels à la préservation de ces valeurs. En outre, la sécurité des musées devrait être améliorée et des mesures efficaces devraient être prises contre le vol et le vandalisme. Une meilleure protection des musées est nécessaire pour assurer l'avenir de notre patrimoine culturel et pour accroître la conscience culturelle de la société.

Beautiful tile work throughout the many rooms leading to the room holding the sarcophagus. With covered legs, heads, and shoulders, one is allowed to go in all except for the last anti-room. Beautiful structure, well worth the trip.

Considering I'm Muslim, it's a really renowned location for us Tunisians. Beautiful Mausoleum, even includes (alledgedly) a letter from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) before he left for Kairouan

This is a beautiful building! So many amazing tiles and the details are impressive. I recommend hiring a guide before coming here because there is not a lot of information provided otherwise.
