Dougga & Testour

Explore Tunisia’s Diverse Roots Visit two historic sites, each offering a distinct perspective into Tunisia’s rich cultural heritage. Journey from Tunis to Dougga, a UNESCO-listed archaeological site and one of the best preserved Roman towns in North Africa. Here, walk through its ancient streets with your guide, passing the remnants of temples, baths, a forum and a theater to gain insight into daily life on the fringes of the Roman Empire. See the towering Libyan Punic Mausoleum, a vestige of the town’s Numidian roots, before enjoying a lunch of local favorites. As you begin your return to Tunis, pause in the Andalusian village of Testour, originally established by Jewish and Muslim communities who escaped the Spanish Inquisition. Walk with your guide to see how these diverse influences have shaped its architecture, including the Great Mosque and its impressive minaret, before returning to Tunis. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
