Tunisia’s Hidden Gem: The Amphitheatre of El Jem

If you think the Colosseum in Rome is impressive, wait until you step through the columns into the amphitheatre of El Jem. Just over an hours louage journey south from Sousse, this ancient Roman marvel is stunningly well-preserved and, best of all, almost empty. Without the usual tourists you’d expect at a site like this, you can wander through the grand arches, stand in the center of the arena, and feel history echo around you in total solitude. Not only that, but the basement floors have even been preserved so you can wander beneath where animals of the past were once held. #eljem #tunisiatravel #hiddengems #romanruins #ancienthistory #traveltunisia #historicalwonders
