Tunisian Pompeii in the fertile hinterland

Step back in time to one of the best preserved Roman sites outside of Italy in the verdant, fertile hinterland of Tunisia.

Dougga's capitol, temple and Roman theater all reflect the splendor of ancient Roman architecture and the opulent savoir-vivre of the Romans.

Experience an in-depth tour of the ancient city, which is undoubtedly one of the most complete and worth seeing Roman archaeological sites and was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.

Archaeological teams are still discovering the remains of former magnificent buildings today.

On the way to Dougga you will also visit another important Roman site of the former Roman province of Africa: Thuburbus Majus. Nestled in green, rural surroundings, you are presented with a nostalgic picture of Roman life 2.000 years ago.

Another stop at the Water Temple of Zaghouan enchants on the impressive, rugged north side of Mount Djebel Zaghouan. This Roman water temple, which was built in honor of the nymph of the spring, once supplied the then world power Carthage via canals and aqueducts.

Enjoy impressive history in the traditional hinterland, away from the tourist bathing resorts - an exciting day with many photo opportunities is guaranteed!
