Itinerary
Great Mosque of Testour
The Andalusian village of Testour is famous with the Grand Mosque, it embodies Andalusian architecture, especially its minaret, which features Andalusian-style inscriptions and architectural elements. The height of the minaret is 23 meters and it is an octagonal shape. The façade of the minaret is opened by small double windows decorated with glazed inscriptions and a mechanical clock at the top. Its appearance resembles the Aragonese bell towers of southern Spain.
Dougga
Unesco classified this site on the World Heritage List in 1997, considering that it is the “best preserved small Roman city in North Africa”. This archaeological site preserves, within its delimitation, the vestiges of different periods of the ancient city with all its components: the monumental center (capitol, forum, market, place of the wind rose ...), the buildings of shows (theater, circus) and the public baths clearly reflect the way in which an indigenous foundation evolved during the Roman period.
Bulla Regia
The archaeological site of Bulla Regia is located a few kilometers north of the city of Jendouba, in the northwest of the country, it is one of the main stages of cultural tourism in this region. The remains it presents bear witness to more than 17 centuries of the history of an agglomeration founded by the Numidians at the end of the 6th century BC at the latest and which quickly became a royal residence. Autonomous at the beginning of the Roman period, it was erected as a municipality under the Flavians and as a Roman colony under the Emperor Hadrian (117-138). At the end of the 5th century, its inhabitants were judged as bad Christians by Augustine.

Knowledgeable guide and professional organisation
We had a great and informative day. The organisation was smooth and professional, we had a good driver who made the long journey straightforward. Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and energetic, and gave us a very useful overview of various aspects of life in Tunisia, in addition to making the wonderful archeological sites readable and easily understandable. We’d wholeheartedly recommend him and this tour - it’s a day well spent. The lunch break in a local eatery was also well chosen.

Day trip not to be missed

Phenomenal tour!
Phenomenal tour! I have to say this has to be the best tour I did during my two-week trip to Tunisia. My guide was truly incredible; very knowledgeable, kind, and informative. Not only that, the sites were incredible–so much history and I loved that these sites weren't crowded with tourists, meaning you really got the chance to take it all in. It truly is an action packed day and if history excites you as much as it excites me, this is a tour you simply must book.

Tour for history lovers
This was a really interesting tour. Dougga is very impressive and to me seemed as fascinating as Carthage. I thought it was definitely worth the visit. Bulla Regia was smaller, but had some interesting mosaics of fish and animals. I thought the tour was well organized, informative, and well paced.

So glad my family and I...
So glad my family and I booked this tour. Mahjoub and his driver were the perfect guides. Well-paced for a hot day, we nevertheless saw so many ancient Roman sites. Mahjoub told fascinating stories about the ruins and was always more than happy to answer our many questions. He was clearly passionate about his work. The driver was excellent.

Absolute must do in while...
Absolute must do in while in Tunisia, Dougga and Bulla Regia are phenomenal archaeological sites and my lovely guide made for a great experience, friendly and knowledgeable and a great photographer too. To get to these sites it’s a scenic ride through the countryside with great views of olive orchards. We stopped in Testour for a nice lunch before back to Tunis.
