Mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba in Zarzis

A place to pay respect to a person who I hear made the country great and gave power to the women.

Beautiful place, free entrance

Great place!

The mausoleum is beautiful on the outside. On the inside, it tells a good story of the president.

A wonderful and beautiful place.

This mausoleum is free to enter and a beautiful piece of architecture, particularly from the outside. Overall it takes about 15 minutes to explore inside and out.There is little information, but beautiful tiling and the two minarets are stunning.

The mausoleum of former and founding president of Tunisia.

Interesting to see

Beautiful and interesting in every sense and very nice surroundings.Free of charge entrance.

Beautiful spot about tunisia history

Beautiful mausoleum of the first president of independent Tunisia

All marble and gold.

Nice memorial for the first president of Tunisia. Not very big in size so you wont need more than 30 min to visit it. Has a small museum inside that worth checking. Recommend visiting it when youre in Monastir.

I loved it 😍 u can find everything about Habib Bourgiba.Habib Ben Ali Bourguiba was born in Monastir into a modest family. He then moved to Tunis in 1907 in order to pursue his studies in Sadiki College then in Lycée Carnot, before obtaining his baccalaureate in 1924. In 1927, he graduated from the University of Paris and worked as a lawyer, after his return to Tunis, in the late 1920s. Bourguiba showed interest in fighting the protectorate from a young age. However, he only joined the national movement in the early 1930s, when he became a member of the Destour party and wrote articles denouncing the regime and its inequality. Bourguiba did not agree with the partys elders whose methods were outdated. Thus, on 2 March 1934, at age 31, he co-founded the Neo Destour that spearheaded the Tunisian movement for independence, during the Ksar Hellal Congress.

Whilst visiting Tunisia, I felt compelled to visit the resting and celebration place of Habib Bourguiba. All of the Tunisians I met hold him in such high regard as well as Tunisians standing as the ‘most stable’, democratic country in the region. Very beautiful place and stunning sarcophagus

A beautiful mauseoleum with many private things that belonged to Habib Bourguiba. The only reason I gave it a four is because the security guard tried to rip us off. As you may know the entrance to mausoleum is FREE. We entered the mausoleum at 17 o`clock, and it closes at 17:30. The security guard let us in and after a few minutes he called us to the other room. There he told us that we have to pay him because the visit hours are somehow over and he let us in just because he wanted to do us a favor. Since I knew that the mausoleum works until 17:30 and he is trying to rip us off I told him to go together and ask if he asked other people for money. When he saw that I was very angry he said that everything is ok and I do not have to pay. Watch out for them.

Beautiful place, Beautiful Tunisian people thank you for always being kind to people from the United States.

A very impressive mausoleum which to be expected for the man who brought Tunisia to independency

This is probably the most impressive mausoleums Ive ever been to. What a gorgeous tribute to the former President. I highly recommend checking this out.

The Mausoleum of the first president of Tunisia Habib Bourguiba is a must-see place. Great Marble and Stucco work. It was built when he was still alive in 1963, and it is located next to the main cemetery of the city.

an Important place to visit, to know more about the first president of Tunisia Habib Bourguiba and the post colonial periode in Tunisia.
