Our team will pick you up from the lobby of your hotel in Hammamet to ensure your comfortable and punctual pickup. After a pleasant drive along the highway, you will arrive in El Jem, the country's archaeological jewel.
Upon arrival, you will be assisted with the purchase of your admission tickets before beginning the guided visit of the famous Roman amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (admission tickets not included).
This stone colossus, the third-largest amphitheatre in the Roman world, will impress you with its gigantic proportions and exceptional state of preservation.
With your passionate guide, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Ancient Rome at the time of Thysdrus, the flourishing ancient Roman city that once stood here. Explore the dizzying tiers (where up to 35,000 spectators would sit to watch the fights), the galleries, and the impressive underground chambers where gladiators and wild beasts awaited. Let yourself be transported by the vivid stories and historical anecdotes that bring the thousand-year-old stones back to life.
Your ticket also gives you access to the El Jem Archaeological Museum, located just a short walk from the amphitheatre. This intimate museum houses a rich collection of Roman mosaics of remarkable finesse, as well as everyday objects, statues and remains discovered in the region. The tour will give you a better understanding of the daily life, beliefs and lifestyle of the inhabitants of Thysdrus.
An enriching cultural immersion in just half a day, perfect for those with an interest in history, heritage and authentic discoveries!
