Your Day's Journey

➡️ Stop 1: The Majestic Ruins of Carthage 🏛️

Our adventure begins in the legendary city of Carthage. Together, we'll wander through the Antonine Baths, feeling the sea breeze as we imagine the daily life of Roman citizens. We'll stand in awe at the Punic Ports, the heart of Carthage's powerful naval empire, and uncover the stories hidden within the ancient Roman villas.

➡️ Stop 2: The Hidden City of Oudhna 🤫

Next, we'll journey inland to the breathtaking archaeological site of Oudhna. Less known but equally impressive, Oudhna offers a glimpse into a thriving Roman city. We'll explore the magnificent amphitheater, one of the largest in North Africa, and marvel at the grand Capitol, a testament to the city's importance.

➡️ Stop 3: A Taste of Local Life & Hearty Lunch 🥗

After a morning of discovery, we’ll take a well-deserved break to refuel with a delicious, home-style Tunisian lunch. Imagine sitting down to a table filled with the aromas of a slow-cooked traditional stew, fresh salads, and just-baked bread. This is a moment to relax, connect with your fellow adventurers and our host, and savor the rich, authentic flavors of the region.

➡️ Optional Add-On: The Water Temple of Zaghouan ⛲

For those who wish to delve deeper into the story of Roman ingenuity, we offer an optional extension to Zaghouan. Here, we'll discover the impressive Water Temple, the source of the aqueduct that supplied Carthage with fresh water. It's a journey back in time to witness the incredible engineering feats of the ancient world.

Full Description

Have you ever dreamed of walking through the pages of a history book? 📖 Of feeling the echoes of ancient empires under your feet? This is your invitation to a day of discovery, a journey into the heart of Tunisia's rich and storied past.

We'll begin in Carthage, a name that resonates with power, ambition, and a civilization that once rivaled Rome. But this isn't a typical, stuffy history tour. With our passionate local host leading the way, you'll hear the human stories behind the ruins – the tales of gladiators, merchants, and everyday people who lived, worked, and dreamed in this incredible city.

From the grandeur of Carthage, we'll venture to the hidden gem of Oudhna. Imagine a Roman city, sprawling and magnificent, that you can explore without the crowds. As we wander through its temples and villas, you'll feel a sense of discovery, of uncovering a secret that has been waiting for centuries. 🗺️
