Zaghouan Aqueduct Thuburbo Majus & Uthina Daytrip from Tunis

Embark on a fascinating journey through Tunisia’s rich archaeological tapestry, beginning with a visit to the site of Oudna—an ancient Punic city later transformed by the Romans. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the remnants of the Roman aqueducts that once supplied water to Carthage. At Oudna, explore the expansive Villa of the Laberii, a magnificent residence spanning over 2,300 m² and featuring more than thirty rooms adorned with exquisite mosaics. The site also boasts a remarkably well-preserved amphitheater, once capable of hosting up to 20,000 spectators, offering a vivid glimpse into Roman public life and entertainment.

Your cultural adventure continues to the charming Andalusian medina of Zaghouan, a hilltop town steeped in tradition and architectural beauty. Here, you'll wander through narrow streets lined with whitewashed homes, ornate doors, and historic fountains—echoes of its Andalusian roots. Zaghouan’s serene atmosphere and scenic surroundings make it a perfect stop for reflection and discovery before heading to your final destination.

Conclude your journey at the ancient Roman city of Thuburbo Majus, a site that flourished under Roman rule and experienced a remarkable revival in the 4th century. With its grand temples, paved streets, baths, and open forums, Thuburbo Majus proudly declared itself Respublica Felix—the Happy Republic. Walking through its ruins offers a powerful connection to a past marked by resilience, prosperity, and cultural richness, rounding out an unforgettable tour of Tunisia’s classical heritage.
