One-day excursion to Testour and Dougga

Stop at the Andalusian village of Testour:

Stop at Testour, a village that still preserves traces of an Andalusian town, both in terms of architecture and in the habits and traditions of its inhabitants. Stroll through the heart of the town with your guide, who will take you to visit the Great Mosque and also show you the unique backward-running clock (even its numbers are written in reverse).

Stop at the archaeological site of Dougga:

Dougga, or Thugga, is undoubtedly the most prestigious archaeological site in Tunisia. Several factors give it a special place in the Tunisian archaeological panorama: its location on a ridge overlooking the fertile Medjerda valley (Thugga means greenery in the Libyan language), the extent of the site which spans several dozen hectares and covers multiple historical periods. During your visit, here are some of the most important components:

Theatre:
Just next to the small parking lot and the entrance of the site is the theatre. It could (and still can) accommodate 3,500 people. Sit in the stands: the view of the plain below is magnificent.

Capitol:
Leaving the theatre, you walk along the ancient streets. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the Capitol, a monument dominating the entire town. This building is in an exceptional state of preservation.
It is possible to go down to these columns and enter the monument. The height of the pillars (about 10 m) is truly impressive.

Forum:
Right next to the Capitol is the Forum. Unlike the Capitol, few columns remain around the Forum. This has the advantage of opening the horizon, offering an interesting panorama.

House of the Clover:
Returning to the reception area, you will pass many baths and private houses, such as the House of the Clover. These ruins are very interesting because it is easy to understand the villa’s architecture and the layout of the rooms.
