Highlights
- Bulla Regia - Departure to Bulla Régia (160 km from Tunis). This area is well worth a visit for its fascinating history. Here, the Romans built their villas with one floor above ground level and another below, to avoid heat. Seven villas have been excavated so far and named after the beautiful mosaics discovered within.
- Dougga - Dougga houses some of the largest Roman ruins in North Africa. The tour starts with the theatre erected during the II Century and donated by the Gracchus family & it continues to the “Place des Roses de Vent”, the Market Place, dominated by Mercury, the god of commerce, the well preserved Capitoline Temple, dedicated to the three roman deities, the Forum, the Public licinius Baths & it ends with the House of Trifolium, the Cyclopes therms and the magnificent twelve-seat latrines.

Thanks to the travel agency for a fantastic excursion. I enjoyed every moment. -
I recently had the opportunity to visit Tunisia with Compass Travel and Events, an incredible travel company and exceptional guide. I was impressed by the level of service and expertise provided by the travel agency, as well as guide Mr. Chedly's passion and enthusiasm for the culture and history of Tunisia. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to discover the hidden wonders of Tunis and learn more about its rich history. I highly recommend this travel agency and this guide for anyone who wants to discover Tunisia in an authentic and enriching way.
