I was impressed by this, it’s the leftovers of the man-made military port of Carthage. It’s nice to walk around and on the island in the middle there is a ‘museum’ included in the 12 TD Carthage ticket but there is almost nothing there. Because of this I could see why some visitors might be disappointed, but it depends on what your interests are, I thought it was good and enjoyed it.

After seeing the artists impressions of what this place looked like in Roman times, you may be slightly let down by the reality ... but it's still worth a visit. You can imagine all the Roman ships what anchored here. There isn't much information on the site - it's really up to you to find out about the place. It's a relatively small site compared to the Baths or the Roman Villas - but definitely worth a visit.

Our guide stopped the tour to show some sketches of what the port looked like in ancient times. With imagination, you can transport yourself by looking at the shape of the bay and island. The area all around is full of pretty residences.

The Punic Ports were on top of my bucket list when traveling to Tunisia. How disappointing it was to actually see them . . . Some small artificial lakes in the middle of up-market urbanized Carthage. You would never recognize them unless you were with a guide who pointed them out. To think that this was the base of Navy that dominated the Mediterranean for hundreds of years . . .
