Walking
If you are in the Medina area of Tunis, start by heading towards the Avenue Habib Bourguiba. Once you reach the avenue, look for the entrance to the Medina. Enter the Medina through one of the gates, such as Bab el Bahr or Bab Souika. After entering, follow the narrow streets towards the Rue Tourbet El Bey. Continue walking straight until you reach Rue Médersa Slimaniya. The Madrasa Slimania will be located at 13, rue Médersa Slimaniya, which is a short walk from the main thoroughfare.
Public Transport (Metro)
If you are further out in Tunis, take the metro to the 'Aouina' station. From there, transfer to the TGM (Tunis-Goulette-Marsa) train heading to 'Goulette'. Get off at the 'La Goulette' station and then take bus number 51 towards 'Tunis'. Get off at the stop 'Bab el Bahr'. From Bab el Bahr, enter the Medina through the main gate, and walk towards Rue Tourbet El Bey, then turn onto Rue Médersa Slimaniya. The Madrasa Slimania will be on your right.
Taxi (Shared Taxi)
If you prefer a quicker option, you can take a shared taxi (also known as a 'Louage') from any part of Tunis. Head to a Louage station, such as the one located at Place de la République. Get a ride towards 'La Medina' and inform the driver to drop you off at 'Rue Tourbet El Bey'. Once you get off, ask for directions to Rue Médersa Slimaniya. The Madrasa Slimania is located at 13, rue Médersa Slimaniya and should be within a short walk.
