Activity itinerary

Tophet de Carthage

15m
Admission ticket included

Step into one of the most mysterious and historically significant sites of the ancient world. The Tophet of Carthage is a sacred Phoenician burial ground dating back to the 8th century BC, where urns containing the ashes of children and animals were ceremonially interred. Stroll among the ancient stelae, carved stone markers etched with dedications to the gods Baal Hammon and Tanit, and feel the weight of thousands of years of history beneath your feet. Your guide will bring this enigmatic site to life, sharing the latest archaeological discoveries and the ongoing debates that make Carthage one of the most fascinating civilisations of antiquity.

Punic Ports & Museum (Pass by)

Catch a glimpse of what was once the most powerful naval port in the ancient Mediterranean as you pass by the legendary Punic Ports of Carthage. These two remarkable harbours, one circular for the navy and one rectangular for commerce, once sheltered hundreds of warships that made Carthage the dominant sea power of its time. A fascinating sight that speaks volumes about the might and ingenuity of the Carthaginian civilisation.

Baths of Antoninus

20m
Admission ticket included

Walk through the breathtaking ruins of the largest Roman baths ever built on African soil. The Baths of Antoninus stand as a testament to the grandeur of Roman Carthage, with towering columns and vast foundations stretching along the seafront. Your guide will paint a vivid picture of what this monumental complex looked like in its heyday, when thousands of Carthaginians gathered here daily to bathe, socialise, and conduct business, all against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Roman Theatre of Carthage

10m
Admission ticket included

Marvel at the ancient Carthage Roman Theatre, a beautifully restored venue that once entertained thousands of spectators with plays, musical performances, and public events. Carved into the hillside with sweeping views over the city, this impressive structure is a vivid reminder of the vibrant cultural life that thrived in Roman Carthage. Your guide will walk you through its rich history, from its origins in antiquity to its modern revival as a stage for the renowned Carthage International Festival.

Punic Quarter of Byrsa

20m
Admission ticket included

Climb to the heart of ancient Carthage atop Byrsa Hill, the legendary citadel where the great city was said to have been founded by Queen Dido. From this elevated vantage point, enjoy sweeping panoramic views over the Gulf of Tunis while exploring the remarkably preserved ruins of a Punic area dating back to the 2nd century BC. The adjacent Carthage National Museum houses an outstanding collection of Phoenician and Roman artefacts that bring the full sweep of Carthaginian civilisation to life.

Sidi Bou Said

Wander through the enchanting blue and white village of Sidi Bou Said, perched high above the Mediterranean with breathtaking views over the Gulf of Tunis. Lose yourself in the narrow cobblestone streets lined with jasmine-draped doorways, vibrant bougainvillea, and charming artisan boutiques. The highlight of your visit is a well-deserved break at one of the village’s iconic cafés, where you will sip traditional mint tea or freshly brewed coffee while soaking in the timeless beauty of one of Tunisia’s most beloved destinations.
