Overview

Departure to Bulla Régia (160 km from Tunis). This area is well worth a visit for its fascinating history.

Seven villas have been excavated so far and named after the beautiful mosaics discovered within. Proceed to Dougga (65 km from Bulla Regia). Lunch at a local restaurant. Dougga houses some of the largest Roman ruins in North Africa.
