🗺️ Detailed Itinerary

1️⃣ Testour – Andalusian Legacy in Tunisia

Your day begins with a scenic drive from Hammamet to the historic town of Testour, founded in the early 17th century by Andalusian Muslims expelled from Spain.

Here you will discover:

• The Great Mosque of Testour, a masterpiece of Andalusian architecture

• A 23-meter octagonal minaret

• The famous mechanical clock with counterclockwise-moving hands

• Glazed inscriptions and Spanish-inspired architectural details

The minaret’s design resembles Aragonese bell towers of southern Spain, reflecting the town’s Iberian roots.

Guests will also enjoy a local cheese tasting, a specialty of the region — a delicious cultural touch to start the day.

2️⃣ Dougga – Tunisia’s Most Impressive Roman City (UNESCO Site)

Continue to the breathtaking ruins of Dougga, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 and considered the best-preserved small Roman city in North Africa.

Formerly known as Thugga, this ancient city sits dramatically on a hilltop overlooking olive groves and valleys.

Explore with your expert guide:

• The spectacular Roman Theatre

• The Capitol and Forum

• The Market Square

• The “Place of the Wind Rose”

• Roman Thermal Baths

• The Triumphal Arch

• The Libyco-Punic Mausoleum

Dougga beautifully illustrates how a Numidian settlement evolved into a flourishing Roman municipality and colony.

📸 Expect panoramic views and incredible photo opportunities.

3️⃣ Bulla Regia – The Underground Roman Villas

Your final stop is the remarkable archaeological site of Bulla Regia, located near Jendouba in northwest Tunisia.

Founded by the Numidians in the 6th century BC, Bulla Regia later became a Roman colony under Emperor Hadrian (117–138 AD).

What makes this site unique?

Its underground Roman houses, built below ground level to escape the intense North African heat — a rare architectural innovation in the Roman world.

Highlights include:

• The Capitol

• The Temple of Apollo

• Two early Christian Basilicas

• The Church of Alexander

• Stunning Roman mosaics preserved in situ

The site reflects over 17 centuries of continuous occupation and cultural evolution.
