Dougga/Bella Regia
At 08:00 am departure Dougga, the most interesting and best preserved Roman site in Tunisia. There is much to see, including a theater, a temple, baths, and the Libyan-Punic mausoleum. Dougga is usually visited in conjunction with Bulla Regia during a day trip. A Case of 30 ~ 45 minutes on how the Andalusian village of Testour is strongly recommended, especially on market day (Friday).
Continuation of the afternoon at Bulla Regia, the city's name comes from a combination of Bulla (Berber name meaning "lowland" or "Valley") and Regia (which means "royal" - Numidian kings resided in this city). Its unique Roman houses, equipped with a basement to escape the summer heat, making it one of the most interesting. The main attraction is well preserved and mosaics that adorn the floors of houses (especially Maison D'Amphitrite). Located in the north-west of Tunisia, Bulla Regia is located in the valley of the Medjerda, surrounded by mountains and can become extremely hot during the summer. Since this style of construction is unique in the Roman Empire, it is assumed that the Romans probably borrowed the idea of the Berbers. Bulla Regia was located on a main road connecting the major ports of Carthage and Hippo Radius (now called Anabas - Algeria).
Since Bulla Regia was originally Numidian, the oldest parts of the city did not follow the Roman grid system. Homes built later, the show regularity characteristic Roman.
