From Tunis: Full-day Private Tour To Dougga (Best Preserved Roman Site) & Bulla Regia Underground Houses
About this tour
Step back in time on this full-day private tour from Tunis. You will begin in the charming Andalusian village of Testour, where a unique clock runs backward and the architecture whispers of Moorish Spain. Then, journey to Dougga (Thugga), widely considered the best-preserved Roman archaeological site in Tunisia – a UNESCO World Heritage treasure perched on a hilltop overlooking a fertile valley. Walk through its theater (seating 3,500 spectators), the majestic Capitol, and the Forum. Finally, discover Bulla Regia, famous for its extraordinary underground houses – Roman villas built below ground to escape the summer heat. Between these wonders, enjoy a traditional Tunisian lunch at a local restaurant. This is not a rushed bus tour. It is your private journey through three distinct historical layers – Andalusian, Roman, and Punic – at your own pace.
