Sfax and the Kerkennah Islands
Sfax offers a medina structured around its large mosque, with a kasbah and historic residences. The lower Kerkennah islands open another sea-related landscape of the Gulf of Gabes. The ancient Thaenae site gives a third look at this region; crossing to the archipelago requires a separate organization.
The discovery of Sfax and the Kerkennahs revolve around Medina of Sfax, Great Mosque of Sfax and Kasbah of Sfax. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, island landscapes and the coastline, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 3 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: enhanced vigilance: editorial qualification of the perimeter chosen after France Diplomacy, consulted on 9 September 2026 and conditions of access to monuments and places of worship to be confirmed. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Patrimonio
Médina de Sfax
The Sfax Medina maintains an urban organization structured around its large mosque. Its enclosure and streets are a testament to a medieval city transformed over the centuries, where religious monuments, commercial spaces and homes make up an ever-dwelling complex.
Patrimonio
Great Mosque of Sfax
In the centre of the medina, the great mosque dates back to a 9th century Aghlabid foundation. Several changes have changed the monument; its minaret and its decorated eastern facade are important landmarks of the ancient city.
Museo
Kasbah de Sfax
The Kasbah, located at the southwest corner of the Medina, has had successive military and administrative functions. It hosts a museum dedicated to traditional architecture, thus linking construction techniques with a concrete example of urban fortification.
Museo
Dar Jellouli Museum
In the Sfax Medina, Dar Jellouli is a historic residence associated with a museum of popular arts and traditions. This place allows us to discuss the domestic and social history of the city, but its current opening requires confirmation with the manager.
