great place, clean and well preserved, you can Walt around

Spectacular is the only was to describe it! A must see in the extensive Dougga Ruins!

A wonderful day spent walking among the ruins of Dougga. It’s amazing to be able to walk freely and without the crowds so often accompanying these historical sites

We always recommend our friends and visitors to visit this place because we find quite extraordinary and how intact and clean this site is after 2000 years.

Amazing site! We visited all the site. It includes a Roman théâtre a couple of temples, a forum, a market, a mausoleum and a village. The fact that it’s quite far from everything kept it in a good shape as if it traveled through time.

Do not skip when visiting Tunisia

Roman theaters were a fundamental element of the monumental make-up of a city from the reign of Augustus.

The theater, which was built in AD 168 or 169, is one of the best preserved examples in Roman Africa. It could seat 3500 spectators, even though Dougga only had 5000 inhabitants. It was one of a series of imperial buildings constructed over the course of two centuries at Dougga which deviate from the classic "blueprints" only inasmuch as they have been adapted to take account of the local terrain. Some minor adjustments have been made and the local architects had a certain freedom with regard to the ornamentation of the buildings.

A dedication engraved into the pediment of the stage and on the portico the dominates the city, recalls the building's commissioner, P. Marcius Quadratus, who "built [it] for his homeland with his own denarii"; the dedication was celebrated with "scenic representations, distributions of life, a festival and athletic games".

The theater is still used for performances of classic theater, particularly during the festival of Dougga, and conservation work has been carried out on it.

The highlight of Dougga, but don't miss the rest of the site as well! The theater is especially good during the Festival de Dougga each summer.

Great museum, a lot of interesting ruins, currently excavations open about a quarter of ancient city.

Love this place. We drove in on the other side...magnificent!

Roman architectures are good condition compared to other countries'

Easy to walk around the ruins. You can hire a tour guide at the ruins for 40 Dinars.

Amazing when the snow cover the ruines

You must come here. This is on a par with Ancient Rome, Ephesus etc for classical cities. Truly amazing to wander in the monolithic architecture and get a feel for Roman life. It's such a shame that Tunisian tourism hasn't recovered but, when it does, this place will be overrun. Get there first.

Make sure to book for the restaurant if you plan to eat there otherwise take snack and you will need to eat in Teboursouk before or after your visit.

Has such a strategic high position. To visit!

It was one of my greatest day visiting that place with my beloved had inhaled a fresh air at that top hill of Dougga Romain ruins site, enjoyed the harmony beauty of the ruins and the green trees of the place.

Beautiful historical site.

Excellent place. Highly recommend it.
