Description:
Once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a masterpiece of Islamic architecture in the heart of one of the Arab world's oldest medinas.
Built over 400 years ago, this exceptional Arab house — a true Dar in the purest tradition — stands as a testament to the golden age of Tunis, when the city was considered one of the greatest capitals of the Islamic world.
THE PROPERTY
Spanning 303 sqm across multiple levels, the residence is built around a majestic central patio — the soul of the house — framed by intricately carved arabesque columns and flooded with natural light. Soaring 5-metre ceilings, an ornate veranda, a generous façade, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms complete a layout that is both grand and intimate. Structural condition: excellent.
AN UNRIVALLED LOCATION
Nestled at the very heart of the UNESCO-listed Medina of Tunis, the property sits at the intersection of the city's most iconic landmarks:
— Steps from the Ezzitouna Mosque, one of the oldest and most venerated mosques in North Africa
— Adjacent to the house of Ibn Khaldoun, the father of modern historiography
— Surrounded by the historic souks, alive with centuries of craft and trade
— Moments from a 17th-century Ottoman hammam
THE OPPORTUNITY
This asset is tailor-made for a high-end hospitality or gastronomy project:
— Boutique guesthouse / maison d'hôtes (6–10 rooms)
— Signature à la carte restaurant or rooftop dining concept
— Traditional café & cultural experience

With Tunisia's hospitality sector posting strong growth and Tunis Medina attracting a rising flow of international visitors, this property offers both cultural prestige and exceptional commercial potential.
