Amphitheatre of El Jem is located in the town of El Jem in eastern Tunisia. It was built in the 3rd century AD, is grand in scale and magnificent in presence, and even after nearly 2,000 years of weathering, it still stands tall on the open plains. The entire structure is primarily built with massive stone blocks. Supported by layers of arches and a sturdy stone structure, it features a towering three-story facade reaching a height of over 30 m. The amphitheatre's long axis is nearly 150 m, and its short axis exceeds 120 m. It is estimated to have been able to accommodate over 30,000 spectators. Standing in front of the building and looking up, rows of stone arches unfold layer by layer, appearing both solemn and majestic while reflecting the rigorous and precise structural design of ancient Roman architecture. Stepping inside the amphitheatre, visitors can more vividly experience the scenes of ancient competitive events.El Jem · 38.3km from Mahdia

We visited the El Jem Colosseum in Tunisia, which was even more spectacular than the one in Italy. For centuries, the El Jem Colosseum has conquered all visitors with its grandeur, magnificence, scientific layout, and perfect harmony of structure, just like the pyramids in Egypt.

Mahdia beach is a very beautiful seaport with both beautiful beaches and bustling ports. Especially at dusk, the golden sunlight shines on the yachts moored at the pier. The scenery is so beautiful that it is beyond words and absolutely intoxicating.

We love spending the day in Mahdia, especially Friday Market days. The silk wedding outfits are superb. The shaded bars are inviting for a coffee or cold drink. The museum is OK and the old cemetery is a must if you are in the area.
