- Evening concerts in the old medina: Sufi chant, Malouf and lute performances are staged in historic courtyards and squares, so the acoustics come from centuries-old walls rather than speakers alone.
- The Great Mosque of Kairouan setting: The floodlit walls and huge courtyard make a striking backdrop for the night crowds. Non-Muslims can usually see the courtyard and prayer hall entrance by day for a small fee.

- Storytelling and traditional street performance: Local performers recite tales and keep alive customs that make the festival feel like a neighborhood gathering.
- Aghlabid Pools: These huge ninth-century water basins
