Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Tunis, then head to Testour, a picturesque town known for its Andalusian charm. Explore the Great Mosque, notable for its unique clock with hands that turn counter-clockwise and numbers placed upside down—a symbol of the town's rich cultural heritage.

Continue to Dougga, one of the most impressive Roman sites in North Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Wander through its remarkably preserved ruins, including the theater, Capitol, temples, and ancient streets that reveal the daily life of a Roman city.

Next, visit Zaghouan, a peaceful mountain town with strong Andalusian influences. Discover the Temple des Eaux, built by the Romans at the source of a natural spring. This beautifully designed semi-circular fountain, dedicated to Neptune, once marked the start of the aqueduct supplying water to Carthage.

After a full day of exploration, relax on your drive back to Tunis, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
