Carthage & Roman Tunisia at New Year
Summary
A Numidian New Year
Join us in North Africa as we celebrate the New Year amongst the beautiful sites of Tunisia. Tony O’Connor leads the way as we discover the fabulous mosaics at the Bardo (one of the biggest collections in the world), admire the magnificent but now defunct temples of Dougga and Thuburbo Majus, scale the heights of El Djem, the amphitheatre that dominates the modern town and walk inside a section of the aqueduct which once carried water 56 miles from Zaghouan to Carthage. We will spend New Year’s Eve in Kairouan at our hotel situated on the edge of the medina. This is an ideal spot from which to explore to the city that inspired Paul Klee from the beautiful simplicity of the Great Mosque to the quiet streets of the medina where life goes on much as it has for a thousand years.
What to Expect
- Visit the incredible El Djem amphitheatre, Africa’s largest and best-preserved
- Admire some of the world’s most impressive mosaics at the Bardo, Sousse and El Djem museums
