3. Dougga Beja Governorate
Dougga or Thugga was a Berber and Roman settlement near present-day Téboursouk in northern Tunisia. The current archaeological site covers 65 hectares . UNESCO qualified Dougga as a World Heritage Site in 1997, believing that it represents the best-preserved Roman small town in North Africa. The site, which lies in the middle of the countryside, has been protected from the encroachment of modern urbanization, in contrast, for example, to Carthage, which has been pillaged and rebuilt on numerous occasions.

Amongst the most famous monuments at the site are a Libyco-Punic Mausoleum, the capitol, the theater, and the temples of Saturn and of Juno Caelesti...

Haouaria | Exploring Tunisia | Cave exploring!

I continue to explore Tunisia as go on a hike to Haouaria, a coastal town and commune in the Nabeul Governorate, Tunisia.
We went to East Haouaria and started our hike at the Port.

We then climbed up the hillside and took in great open scenes of the Mediterranean Sea, the views where just breath taking. We then made out way to an Old Fort on the hills, we had lunch, then as usual, enjoyed some traditional folk music and dancing.

After Lunch we hiked back down the hill but on a different path to an area call Ras El Drek, where we discovered hidden caves with crystal clear water. We took the opportunity to explore and swim although the water was cold!!!

We hiked back to the bus and stopped at Restaurant La Daurade for some coffee and refreshments while we took in to great view of the ocean.

It was an excellent day with great people and friends, I cannot wait till the next trip!!
