Dougga and Bulla Regia Via Testour + Lunch Small-Group Tour
Description
Dougga is the pinnacle of the Roman presence in Tunisia and looks out majestically over the hills. What perhaps makes it so aesthetically pleasing is its geography – perched on high, it is a picture of verdancy and her stone columns stand proudly against the green countryside. It occupies an unusual position for a Roman town because its origins date back well before the Romans, in fact, it was a Numidian stronghold and enjoyed great prosperity through Masinissa, its ruler. Bulla Regia is a remarkable Roman city, in northwestern Tunisia, near the modern city of Jendouba. It is celebrated for its semi-subterranean housing, a feature that most likely was a response to the need for protection against excessive heat in summer and the cold in winter. The experience of exploring complete, superbly preserved villas is quite incredible; Bulla Regia remains a unique Roman city in having two-storey dwellings with one floor underground.

Both these sites are incredible and in fantastic shape. If you are interested in Roman architecture and lifestyle these are the place to go. Dougga also has a Berber tower. It is also interesting because the drive allows you to see modern day Tunisia as well. The foood at Thugga Hotel is basic but again you can buy a bottle of local wine.
