An ancient historical place that brings peace to your soul, whatever your religion.... It is a historical mosque that dates back to the year 698 AD around 79 AH. Despite that, you find visitors from different religions, races and nationalities of the world.

Beautiful historic mosque (and one of the first universities/educational institutions in the world) in the centre of Tunis. Large courtyard you can walk around. It is a bit confusing where you can enter, so you might have to walk around it a couple times but be on the lookout for doors with signs. Non-Muslims can visit up to 6pm I believe. For Muslims, there are external wudu facilities in a separate building right outside.

The mosque is the oldest in the Capital of Tunisia and covers an area of 5,000 square metres (1.2 acres) with nine entrances.It has 160 authentic columns brought originally from the ruins of the old city of Carthage. The mosque is known to host one of the first and greatest universities in the history of Islam. Many Muslim scholars were graduated from the Al-Zaytuna for over a thousand years. From Ibn 'Arafa, one of the greatest scholars of Islam, Imam Maziri, the great traditionalist and jurist to the famous Tunisian poet Aboul-Qacem Echebbi and countless others all taught there.

No words can explain how I felt praying in this particular mosque. A true gem where some taabi’in have prayed. The rugs in this place are made of some type of plant and it adds beauty to the place

Beautiful mosque. The history is evident, lovely architecture. Mosque itself is one of the oldest in Africa and the world, roughly 1300 years and has been a centre of knowledge and religion for that time.
Courtyard is a peaceful place to spend time, prayer hall is expansive and clean.
Ahmad Sidawi — Google review
It's a shadow of its former self. The structure itself is definitely worth seeing- tall beautiful arches, a wide open courtyard and a rectangular covered prayer area. It's in the heart of the traditional market. Sadly, most of the time the mosque is closed... even on Fridays it opens about 30 minutes before Jumah. Friday sermons are depressing at times and the Imam doesn't recite with tajweed During Ramadan the evening prayers, taraweih, are well done with a different reciter. If you don't like unruly crowds avoid going on the 27 of Ramadan. The people who attend the daily prayers are the workers in the market so they tend to be a bit rude and rough.

Absolute disaster of a tourist destination. It used to be allowed for tourists to enter, like the other great mosques of Kairouan and Sousse. Now it is just the grounds for scams on top of scams. The people there lie and say the mosque opens “8-10”, “at 3”, etc. but it all seems to be lies and misleading. It seems the mosque is only open for Muslims and only at prayer time. Since you can’t visit the mosque, these same people take you to “viewpoints” with “museums” and “exhibitions” and their “father’s shop”, just to sell carpets and other goods for ridiculous prices. At the end of your unsolicited tour, they ask for a tip. If you don’t give a lot, they get angry. In a country like Tunisia and in a UNESCO site, this is just awful and surprising. I would skip the Medina all together if you come to Tunis until this is fixed.

Highly overrated as seems to be only main tourist attraction in city centre. Not much to look at. Opens after 2pm. Mosque is not in a good condition generally and need of repair. Repairs done so far are really bad and historic areas been repaired using really bad patch work. I saw people doing wudu in the courtyard from a tap - was really surprised to not see proper facilities on such a big mosque.

The Ez-Zitouna Mosque, located in Tunis, Tunisia, is a historic and revered place of worship. Dating back to the 8th century, it stands as one of the oldest and most significant mosques in North Africa. Its intricate architecture and cultural importance make it a captivating destination for both religious purposes and exploration of the region's rich history.
This centuries-old mansion was converted into a fine restaurant in 1987, and it now presents an elegant setting with beautiful tiled walls, ornate railings, and a dazzling collection of Ottoman carpets on the floor. The menu features traditional Tunisian cuisine cooked to high standards. It is a wonderful museum with gorgeous architecture and an impressive range of antique carpets.
Outstanding & Highly recommended.
Went to Tunis on a family vacation. Every Tunisian I spoke to before the trip said that we have to stay here, so we did, and it did not disappoint.
The location: in the heart of old Tunis. Stay here if you want to walk in the old Souqs and bazaars and explore heritage.
The facilities are outstanding. Rooftop/ resto stands out. The inner courtyard is stunning. The building is a true masterpiece that is extremely well maintained.
Rooms are big. This is a boutique hotel with less than 20 rooms. They don’t have standard rooms (but if you want a cheaper option, ask for their recently opened hotel called Dar Dorra). Every room in Dar Jeld is a suite.
The hospitality was amazing. The Dar Jeld team went above and beyond for us and they made us feel at home.
Things to consider: The hotel is not easily accessible by car (due to location in old city) and it’s on a steep road, so senior citizens should be careful.

Went there as an American tourist for the rooftop dinner. Literally amazing view. The hotel staff were super accommodating and the food was pretty good. They do have elevated tourist prices but what do you expect.
I stayed on the roof until after dark and was a bit hesitant about walking back through the Medina alone to a taxi. The front desk offered to walk me directly to a taxi which was so so kind of them.
Couldn’t recommend more highly.

For the restaurant-
We are a family travelling in from London. Food was decent but the service made that hardly worthwhile.
On entering we were seated away to a side. We don't speak the language, so understand there is a barrier but the waiters were dismissive and rude. No effort made for even so much as a smile.
During the rushed meal, we witnessed waiters rush back and have an argument near where we are seated- away from their clearly more important customers seated in the middle and in front of us. They had their backs turned to us the whole time whilst serving other guests in a completely different manner, didn't bother to give us a drinks menu and even took a plate away from me whilst I was in the middle of eating! Imagine- bread in hand, still chewing and having your plate moved away?! And then placed our meals there. It felt as though the experience and respect received was dependant on your background.
We thought it best to ask for the bill, and even here where we were visibly diaspointed and asked if there was something wrong with us as to why we where receiving such poor treatment the response was a shrug rather than genuinely looking to see what had gone wrong or concerned at the poor experience.
I just find for a restaurant that has a whole street named after them and such glowing recommendations from locals, it is a shame that they presented the Tunisian hospitality is such a poor way to first time visitors and left such a negative impression on us.

This is a review for the restaurant- we did not stay at the hotel or get to the spa and yes, I’m sad about that. From the minute you enter the front door it was like being transported from the bustle of the Medina to this stunning space. We took the elevator to the 5th floor- we ate in the stylish dining room. We would have enjoyed the rooftop terrace to eat but it was a bit cool out. The service was great- our waiter helped us to navigate the menu. It was in French and we are not French speakers. He was patient and kind. The food was a choice of soups, salad and a brick (fried dough wrapped around various items, yum) for main course I had fish and pasta. The lamb and chicken also were really good. Large serving left us too full for dessert, but they brought mint tea and a little pistachios cookie. It was absolutely the fanciest dinner we had in Tunisia. Next time I may stay here as the space was so beautiful

It's a beautiful hotel and spa. Everytime we pass by the Medina we at least like to have a glass on the rooftop or even to have lunch. The food is delicious.
Helena Coelho — Google review
Very high quality hotel. Inside the Medina “old city” part of Tunis. It looks like not much from the street, just a few yellow doors, but inside it is extremely luxurious and well worth the reasonable price. The restaurant is often quoted as the best in the city, and we had a birthday dinner for 12 here which was easy, delicious and beautiful. Chef Marco comes out to speak to most guests and is quite kind. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
We visited the Four Seasons Tunis for one night and far prefer the Dar el Jeld.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had in Tunis. The restaurant seems to only want to please European tourists. Not a very friendly atmosphere unless you’re French. Very sad to see our country still plagued by colonialism. However, can’t blame the servers as that’s their job, and they were friendly. This felt like a waste of time and money, and I left the restaurant with a bad taste in my mouth. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this establishment, unless you’re French of course.

I have been in Tunisia for one week now and have not been at all impressed with the food, except this restaurant! It was incredible food, great variety, very tasty, not bland like much of the other food that I have encountered here in country. And the atmosphere, service, and decor is incredible. There was a man playing a musical instrument downstairs, even let me play it a little bit. Be sure to look at some of the little side rooms and take photos, as they are exquisite. Very impressed!

This is a review of the hotel and both restaurants. We have now stayed in the second time in Dar El Jeld, in a different suite. We really like this gorgeous place, it is like an oasis in the hustle of Tunis. But bring sleeping mask and ear plugs: the first room was rather too bright, and second too noisy during the night. We like the rooftop restaurant a lot. We ate twice in the traditional one: first time excellent, second time nothing special. --- That being said, we would always gladly return to Dar El Jeld and wholeheartedly recommend the place to anybody.

We’ve eaten all over Tunis and enjoyed some lovely meals. Unfortunately this was not one of them. If you’re good with store bought spaghetti or white rice on every dish this is the place for you. Some traditional fare was mediocre at best however unimaginative dishes like Greek salad and dynamite shrimp were definitely to be skipped. Vegetables are not this restaurants strong suit. We were served frozen peas—they were hot but nevertheless not fresh.
The chef walked around the room all night with his hands crossed behind his back hectoring diners. Unforgettable and unfortunate

Location is in heart of old Town near the court house. Hotel is beautifully designed and drips with history. Chef Mosmoudi at the rooftop restaurant is an absolutle gem and insanely talented. The view is by far the best view of Tunis by a long shot.
We had his award winning octopus sizzle which as I write this review I'm yearning for. The staff was amazing and continually exceeded our expectations. The spa was fabulous and extremely relaxing. The scrub was magically and I was glowing for 24 hours. A must stay of you are in Tunis! We will be back certainly.

Ate at the rooftop restaurant and with full confidence, I honestly believe this was the worst food experience I’ve had in Tunisia. The staff are nice but extremely pretentious and barely want to communicate with you if you’re not European. They don’t speak Tunisian even when you speak to them in their own language. Our waiter never came to check up on us once, but went to the tables around us multiple times to refill people’s wine glasses.
Their “Tunisian” food was quite literally terrible. The couscous was so sweet it tasted like dessert, they should be embarrassed to serve this. Our appetizers also seemed to have recycled bread from another table that didn’t finish their food. Cheap quality appetizers and ingredients. Shameful to see a restaurant in Tunis treat it’s own people with less respect than the tourists.

I felt very welcomed by the staff, who were very useful in helping us decide what to order. I really liked the atmosphere as well. Throughout our dinner, someone was playing what I'm assuming was a zither.

I also used Hamam and Spa for massage.

Has very high expectations for restaurant. Firstly, the bread was stale, and it took the entire meal for them to bring new bread. I asked for my plate to be vegetarian, and there was meat inside, so I had to wait to eat. The live musician was great, but the restaurant felt like it was trying too hard to make Tunisian cuisine palatable to tourists. Food was barely decent.
The hotel rooftop was very nice, on the other hand. We tried both.
Harrison Gerson — Google review
My experience was truly exceptional! From the warm welcome and friendly staff to the wonderful ambiance, delightful music, and, of course, the FOOD – it was an all-around fantastic experience. However, I would like to provide some constructive feedback that I hope the manager will consider.
During my visit with my German friends, they encountered some difficulties as the menu was available only in French, which made it challenging for them to make food choices. Consequently, they ended up ordering a side dish. It would greatly enhance the experience if the menu could be offered in multiple languages to cater to a diverse clientele.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to clearly label the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. This would make it easier for guests with specific dietary preferences or restrictions to make informed choices.
Despite these minor issues, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was remarkable, especially being located in the Old Medina of Tunis. The live performance by the Kanoun player, who even played the German anthem for my friends, left them absolutely awestruck. It was a truly unique and unforgettable touch that added to our dining experience.

If you go to the restaurant, the food is good but the staff is rude. If you go to the rooftop bar, the staff is really friendly, but the food is bad. They seem to have wanted to adapt Tunisian food to the European palette, but have failed to do so in a good way. Not a good example of Tunisian cuisine.

Avoid! I ate at the traditional restaurant on the ground floor. Tourist trap. Really expensive, small portions and food was bland. I ordered the lamb and it came a bit overcooked.
Service was terrible - I asked for napkins after paying and it was never delivered. Menu was in French and Arabic so you will struggle with some parts of the menu if you don't understand French/Arabic.

Cathedral of St Vincent de Paul and St Olivia of Palermo
The Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul is a significant religious landmark located in Tunis, Tunisia. Built by the French in 1882, this Roman Catholic church boasts an elegant yellow-and-white facade adorned with a stunning mosaic and two bell towers. It is the largest colonial structure in Tunis and serves as the episcopal see of the Archdiocese of Tunis.
Big old Catholic Church. They have great pictures and beautiful views.
The Catholic church in Tunisia presently comprises only a single Latin archbishopric, in the national capital Tunis :
the non-Metropolitan Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tunis.
There are no Eastern Catholic, pre-diocesan or other exempt jurisdictions in Tunisia.
As this solo-episcopate warrants no national conference, it parttakes in the regional Episcopal conference of Northern Africa (French: Conférence Episcopale Régionale du Nord de l’Afrique, C.E.R.N.A.) together with Algeria, Morocco (hosting the headquarters in Rabat), Western Sahara and Libya, the 'Great Maghreb' (Arab region West of Egypt).
There is also an Apostolic Nunciature (papal diplomatic representation at embassy-level) to Tunisia, which is however vested in the Apostolic Nunciature to neighbour Algeria (in Algiers).
All defunct jurisdictions are precursors of current (residential or, mostly, titular) sees

I loved the architecture and the colors.
Lights were amazing, and the indications give you a great idea about the history of the church. this place is very peaceful, absolutely not to miss if you're visiting Tunis specially noting that it's really close to the medina and at the very centre of the downtown Tunis.
Ave Habib Bourguiba is a vibrant and lively street that features a prominent tree-lined promenade in its center. The avenue boasts several impressive art deco and art nouveau buildings that add to its distinctive character. Visitors can enjoy the various cafes situated on this street, making it an excellent place to relax and people-watch. With its bustling atmosphere and unique architecture, Ave Habib Bourguiba is truly a notable destination for locals and tourists alike looking to experience the charm of Tunisia's urban landscape.

Having seriously bad experience with Carrefour and undergoing some shock by what we paid in Carrefour for little shopping we decided to start doing shopping here and it is amazing.
First of all - majority of stands are fresh (maybe except meat), there is massive variety of products.
I would recommend buying veggies and fruits and fish, instead of doing it in any supermarket if you stay in Tunis for a bit longer.
Especially fish market is worth to mention - huge with any type of fish (including Tunfischs), I would recommend the local ones and they cost between 10-30K Dinar a kilo. We have bought shrimps kilo for 20K dinar (other types even cheaper like 13K dinar) and it was all delicious. For a comparison such shrimps cost 80K dinar in Carrefour. Local fish for 13K dinar. You can buy fish and then on separate stand they can clean it for you for 2-3K dinar in selected places.
We will be back every week.

After Turkish markets (especially the Grand Pazar, Istanbul), this one is disappointing. But, it's way better quality and price than local markets and certainly Monoprix and Carrefour. Monoprix the vegetable/fruit quality is atrocious, nothing crisp, bright...everything limp, wet and greasy. This market is certainly rough, not much hygiene, everything is busted up, vegetables piled in order but unwashed and unsorted (pick yourself, don't let vendors pick for you). Some vendors bhave onions lack and squishy, carrots soft (and orange on outside, white in the middle). You have to be careful and sort yourself, walk away if no good. All cash, no returns, no cards, bring small bills and coins. Come early if possible.
Location hard to miss, right in downtown. Taxi about the only way to get there though, buses and train are awful, dirty, crowded, slow, erratic and incomprehensible.
The Bab el Bahr or Sea Gate is a historic access gate to the medina in Tunis, built in the 1800s by the French to demarcate the line between the Old City and new European area. Although there are no longer any walls surrounding the medina, one can still imagine what it might have looked like by visiting Sousse and Sfax.
Nice building, very pretty. Lots of shows going on, saw a free dance performance outside one evening.

Excellent historic performing arts venue on the main street of colonial Tunis, the Municipal Theater is not open to visit, but is highly recommended as a place to see a concert or play or other performance. As in many colonial capital cities (or, similarly, non-Moscow capitals of Soviet republics), the Municipal Theater was an important institution in French colonial Tunisia. It remains important today, though perhaps not endowed with the same symbolism as in the past.
