Dougga & Bulla Regia Tour Itinerary
Having been picked up from your hotel in Tunis at 8 am, you'll board a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle and begin your excursion to the archaeological sites of Dougga and Bulla Regia.
After around a two hour drive through Tunisia, you'll reach the first stop on your itinerary: Bulla Regia, one of the country's most important Roman archaeological sites. You'll embark on a guided tour of this important historic site, during which you'll learn all about the origins and history of the ancient Punic, Berber and Roman settlement as you discover some of its best-preserved ruins, which include incredible colourful mosaic floors.
Next, you'll make your way to Dougga, located a little over an hour away. On reaching the historic town, the first thing you'll do is enjoy a well-earned break with a delicious lunch at a traditional restaurant to build your energy for the rest of your tour.
With happy tastebuds and full stomachs, you'll continue on your route visiting Dougga's Roman theatre, constructed in the 2nd century CE. Did you know that this enormous venue could seat more than a third of the town's population when it was built?
Follow your English-speaking guide around the ruins of Dougga, which has been called the best-preserved Roman town in North Africa, admiring the Square of the Rose of the Winds, the market, the capitol temple, the forum and the baths. The excellent condition of the structures and the fascinating explanations of your guide will transport you straight back to Tunisia under the Roman Empire.
At the end of a full day of sightseeing, you'll begin your return journey to Tunis, where you'll be dropped back off at your hotel at around 4 pm.
