Highlights

This circuit to el-jem allows you to discover its huge coliseum. The Coliseum of El Jem is simply the 3rd largest amphitheater in the Roman world after those of Rome and Capua, and perhaps the best preserved. Indeed his visit amazes with its architecture and the genius developed for its construction. The site is logically classified as World Heritage by UNESCO since 1979.

About Sousse

Sousse is a Tunisian port and beach resort on the Gulf of Hammamet, with a walled medina and ribat on the water and Roman mosaics in its museum.

Sousse's medina, a World Heritage Site, is a walled maze of lanes, shops and old houses rising from the harbour. The ribat, a fortress-monastery of the eighth century, has a watchtower with views over the roofs and the sea, and the Great Mosque, dating from the ninth century, is a plain stone building around a courtyard. Phoenicians founded a port called Hadrumetum here, which later flourished under Rome.
