It's a very impressive monument. There were a few works going on so it should be even better now. Would love to go back.

The archaelogical museum in El Jem is truly wonderful! It was built around a Roman villa to display some of the mosaics found in this Roman town and nearby. While many of the mosaics are displayed in the Bardo museum in Tunis, the best and most complete ones were kept for El Jem itself. The quality of the mosaics is...

We visited El Djem by train and we are so glad we did. Not for us the half an hour tour after a long hot bus journey. The train was comfortable and so was the price. Only a few metres from the railway station the spectacle of El Djem was before us. Climbing around through and among this wonderful site...

El-Jem is quite awe-inspring, despite partly being in ruins, (hardly a surprise considering its age!) and is certainly well worth making a special visit if you are in Tunisia. (We took in the sights on the four-day 'Sahara trip' and it was worth every penny) Our guide was quite well-informed and a trip to the underground 'cells' was an eye-opener....

This is a Roman ampitheatre, very similar to the world famous one in Rome, and I would say in much the same condition. Two thousand years of weathering and wars have taken its toll on much of the structure, although some parts have been restored, and you can even climb up four levels on one side of the ampitheatre and...

Well worth a trip to go and see it but bear in mind that if you are further away than Sousse, it'll take around 2-3 hours to get to on a coach.
No guided tours as such but your coach driver will point out the stairs to the top of the amphitheatre and down to the holding pens beneath. We...

Numerous high quality mosaics from the Roman Thysdrus in Tunisia are displayed in the El Jem Musesum that opened in 1970 to house the rich findings from the region.
Coming from the streets with 2 Roman amphitheatres – among which the largest in North Africa – the museum is built as a Roman villa around an atrium.
The mosaics cover...

We visited Tunisia in November 2010 and we were stunned by this monument. It is one of the most well preserved Roman monuments that we have visited so far (part of our tourism focus on historical monuments).
It is a magnificent view that can be appreciated from relatively far away. When you are inside, you can almost feel the place...

Having *not* done my chores this time, I didn't expect a Roman building of such a magnificence in Tunisia. The surprise was a pleasant one.
The place is in pretty good shape, it's well-kept and not very crowded. There's the ususal assortment of street vendors on the outside of the fence, but mostly they're not allowed inside so you can...
