Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Dougga, Teboursouk Tunisia

Extensive ruins of a Roman town set on a hilltop, overlooking surrounding valleys with olive plantations. The road to Dougga passes through beautiful rural and scenic landscape. Unlike Roman ruins in Carthage or even in European towns where one or two remaining monuments are isolated in the middle of a modern city, at Dougga, the entire town is preserved, even the Roman streets. Without the barriers and the flocks of tourists, one can take one's time to climb in and out of houses and tunnels, temples and the theaters.
As with other sites in Tunis, Dougga's history is not limited to only the Roman period. One finds an old Punic temple here with a cleansing bath and walls from the Phoenician period, which was later transformed and reused by the Romans, and thus has Roman pillars. There is also an obvious funerary monument, the Mausoleum of Ateban, dating to 2nd century BC, one of three examples of royal Numidian architecture. Its inscription is housed in the British Museum, and the Punic-Libyan bilingual inscription was used to translate Libyan script.
Definitely worth the visit!

Duration: 2 hours

Pass By: Ain Tounga, Tastur Tunisia

The archaeological site of Aïn Tounga
Halfway between Testour and Dougga, we can see at the edge of the road a large square tower in ruins. But we do not guess that it is the entrance to a remarkable archaeological site, Aïn Tounga.
This is one of the innumerable archaeological sites of great interest scattered throughout the Tunisian territory, but which have not yet been highlighted or developed for the visit.
The Aïn Tounga site stretches along the hillside in a beautiful landscape of fields, olive groves,


Stop At: Great Mosque of Testour, Tastur Tunisia

The minaret of the Grand Mosque of Testour is equipped with a unique clock in the world. Its hands turn in the opposite direction of a watch and the numbers are placed upside down too.
After 300 years of installation by the Andalusians, Testour's counterclockwise clock, which has suffered a long downtime, has been back in existence since December 2014.

Duration: 30 minutes
