Things to Do in El Djem

El Djem's amphitheatre held 35,000 spectators and still stands almost complete, its underground passages open to walk through where gladiators and animals once waited before fights. The site museum next door displays mosaics pulled from Roman villas around the town, several still showing the amphitheatre games in detail. Most visits combine El Djem with a stop in Sousse or Kairouan, since the town itself is a single, focused half-day stop. Below are the top-rated El Djem tours.
