DAY TRIP TO Dougga & Bulla Regia , DEPARTURE FROM Tunis

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. Proceed to Dougga (65 km from Bulla Regia). Lunch at a local restaurant.

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.
