Rue des Teinturiers in Tunis leads north to the Dyers’ Mosque (Mosquée des Teinturiers; known locally as the Djemaa el Djedid, the New Mosque), which with the associated medersa was built in 1715 by the founder of the Husseinite dynasty. It was modeled on the Sidi Youssef Mosque and, like it, has a slender octagonal minaret. The interior has beautiful carved woodwork.
