1 review of Zaouia - Abu Zama El-Belaoui Mausoleum

the tomb of the famous Abu el-Belaoui Zamaa

In this zaouia or mausoleum lies the tomb of the famous Abu el-Belaoui Zamaa (Ibn Abi Ubayd Zamaa The Arquam The Balaoui), companion of Muhammad who died in the battlefield 50 km away from Kairouan, before the city was established. Although the original mausoleum dates from the 7th Century, this one is from the 17th Century, around which the Sidi Sahab mosque and a madrassa were constructed. The mausoleum is located in the northwest corner of the yard, and under the dome lies the tomb of Sidi Sahab, splendidly clad in green and white.

The zaouia is a sacred place for Muslim worshipers and it is also an important place of pilgrimage. Tourists are prohibited from entering inside. However, if you pay the small price of a dinar, there is often a man who will offer to enter the mausoleum with your camera to take a picture for you.
