Zawiya of Sidi Abid el Ghariani, Religious educational monument in Medina of Kairouan, Tunisia

The Zawiya of Sidi Abid el Ghariani features three courtyards, geometric marble patterns, and decorated wooden ceilings with intricate motifs.

The construction began in the second half of the 14th century under Al-Jadidi and was completed by Abou Samir Abid el Ghariani in 1402.

This religious institution maintains Islamic teaching traditions and houses the tomb of Sidi Abid, drawing students and scholars from across Tunisia.

The zawiya opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring the architectural elements, including carved plaster panels and colorful ceramic tiles.

The central courtyard displays black and white marble patterns from the 17th century, surrounded by porticos with two-colored arches.
