Our team will pick you up in front of your hotel reception in Hammamet to ensure a comfortable and punctual pick-up. After a pleasant drive on the highway, you'll arrive at El Jem, the country's archaeological jewel.
Upon arrival, you'll be accompanied to purchase your entrance tickets before starting the guided tour of the famous Roman amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (entrance tickets 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 ancient flourishing 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 basements where gladiators and wild beasts waited. Let yourself be transported by the vivid stories and historical anecdotes that bring the ancient stones back to life.
Your ticket also gives you access to the El Jem Archaeological Museum, located a few steps from the amphitheatre. This human-sized museum houses a rich collection of remarkably fine Roman mosaics, as well as everyday objects, statues, and remains discovered in the region. The tour will help you better understand the daily life, beliefs, and way of life of the inhabitants of Thysdrus.
A rewarding cultural immersion in just half a day, perfect for history, heritage, and authentic discovery buffs!
