Description
Delve into the fascinating history of the Roman Empire with a half-day excursion to El Jem, famous for its impressive amphitheater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Our team will pick you up at the reception of your hotel in Hammamet to ensure your comfort and punctuality. After a pleasant drive on the highway, you will arrive in El Jem, the country's archaeological gem.
Upon arrival, you will be accompanied to purchase your entrance tickets before beginning the guided tour of the famous Roman amphitheater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (entrance tickets included).
With your enthusiastic guide, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of ancient Rome during the time of Thysdrus, the ancient flourishing Roman city that once stood here. Explore the dizzying tiers of seats (where up to 35,000 spectators sat to watch the fights), the galleries, and the impressive underground chambers where gladiators and wild beasts waited. Let yourself be transported by the vivid stories and historical anecdotes that bring these ancient stones back to life.
Your entry ticket also gives you access to the El Jem Archaeological Museum, located a few steps from the amphitheater. This intimate museum houses a rich collection of remarkably delicate Roman mosaics, as well as everyday objects, statues, and artifacts discovered in the region. The visit will give you a better understanding of the daily life, beliefs, and lifestyle of the inhabitants of Thysdrus.
