The best-preserved and most impressive Roman ruins in Tunisia are at Dougga. Highlights include the theater (classical dramas are performed there in July and August during the Dougga Festival) and a Punic mausoleum (one of only a few remaining examples of pre-Roman architecture in Tunisia).
The capitol, temples, baths and arches round out the offerings. Dougga is usually seen as a day trip from Tunis or from one of the coastal resorts.
60 mi/100 km southwest of Tunis.
