The Aghlabid Basin is a historic site located in the city of Kairouan, Tunisia. This basin is an ancient water reservoir that was built during the Aghlabid dynasty, which ruled over the region from the 8th to the 10th century. The basin is a rectangular structure that measures approximately 125 meters by 65 meters and is made of stone and brick.
The Aghlabid Basin was designed to collect and store rainwater, which was then used to irrigate the surrounding farmland. The basin was fed by a network of underground channels that brought water from nearby hills and mountains. The water was then filtered through a series of underground wells before being stored in the basin.
The Aghlabid Basin is an impressive feat of engineering and architecture. The walls of the basin are over 10 meters high and are lined with intricate arches and columns. The basin is also surrounded by a series of smaller reservoirs and canals that were used to distribute water to the surrounding fields.
Today, the Aghlabid Basin is a popular tourist attraction and is considered one of the most important historical sites in Kairouan. Visitors can explore the basin and its surrounding structures, including the nearby Aghlabid Palace and the Great Mosque of Kairouan. The basin is also a popular spot for locals to gather and relax, especially during the hot summer months when the cool waters of the basin provide a welcome respite from the heat.
