Description
Day 1: El Djem – Matmata – Douz
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Sousse and start our 2 day trip visiting the best of Tunisia.
Our first stop will be one of the most important archaeological sites in the country, the El Djem amphitheatre, also known as the Tunisian Coliseum. We'll walk around its arena while learning more about its history and numerous gladiatorial fights.
The tour will continue until we reach Matmata, where we'll visit the famous cave-houses. An ancient Amazigh settlement carved into the rock to take refuge from the sweltering heat of the desert. In Matmata we'll have approximately one hour of free time for lunch (not included).
