What you can expect

Our team will pick you up from the reception of your hotel in Hammamet to ensure a comfortable and punctual pick-up. After a pleasant drive on the highway, you will arrive at El Jem, the country's archaeological jewel.

Upon arrival, you will be accompanied to purchase your admission tickets before starting the guided visit of the famous Roman amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Admission tickets included).
This stone colossus, the third-largest amphitheatre in the Roman world, will impress you with its gigantic proportions and exceptional state of preservation.

With your passionate live guide, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Ancient Rome at the time of Thysdrus, the flourishing ancient Roman city that stood here. Explore the dizzying tiers (where up to 35,000 spectators would sit to watch the fights), the galleries, and the impressive underground areas where gladiators and wild beasts waited. Let the vivid stories and historical anecdotes that bring the thousand-year-old stones back to life transport you.

Your ticket also gives you access to the El Jem Archaeological Museum, located just a few steps from the amphitheatre. This museum on a human scale houses a rich collection of Roman mosaics of remarkable finesse, as well as objects of everyday life, statues, and remains discovered in the region. The tour will give you a better understanding of the everyday life, beliefs, and way of life of the inhabitants of Thysdrus.

An enriching cultural immersion in just half a day, perfect for those with an interest in history, heritage, and authentic discoveries!
