With an amphitheatre to rival that of Rome, El Jem makes for a fascinating trip back in time. You’ll travel from Port El Kantaoui to the colosseum to have a look around. Then it’s off to the museum to learn even more about the games and battles that took place there.
You’ll be stepping into the age of Gladiator on this half-day tour, which includes a visit to the largest colosseum in North Africa. Once you arrive, you’ll have time to explore, taking in the wonder of this vast historic space and UNESCO World Heritage Site. It could once hold up to an incredible 35,000 spectators who came to cheer and jeer the games and battles unfolding on stage.
You’ll also have the chance to admire how El Jem, formerly Thysdrus, was hugely important during the time of the Roman Empire. Then cap off your visit at nearby El Jem Museum, where a selection of Roman mosaics and exhibitions on the games provide a captivating insight.
Available from Musement.
