Mosque of Sidi Ameur

The Mosque of Sidi Ameur is a small historic religious site located just south of the Medina in Tunis. Designated as a historic monument in 1928, it is visited by those interested in early Islamic architecture and local history, as the structure retains much of its original appearance.

The mosque is located within walking distance of the Tunis city centre and the southern edge of the Medina. Depending on your starting point in the central district, the walk typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.

Due to its modest size and simple layout, visitors generally spend 20 to 40 minutes exploring the site.

When to Visit
