Continue straight for approximately 500 meters, and you will find Mausoleé Sidi Amor Abada on your left.

Ask the driver to take you to Rue Sidi Gaid. The fare should be around 3-5 Tunisian Dinars. Once you arrive on Rue Sidi Gaid, the mausoleum is just a short walk down the street. If you are uncertain about the exact location, you can ask locals for directions to Mausoleé Sidi Amor Abada.
