These historical day trips from Hammamet offer an authentic look at Tunisia’s ancient treasures. The well-preserved Roman amphitheater at El Jem stands as North Africa’s most impressive Roman site – it’s less crowded and just as magnificent as Rome’s Colosseum. The Great Mosque of Kairouan provides a meaningful glimpse into Islamic architecture and remains an active place of worship. For medieval charm, Sousse’s medina (with its protective ramparts and bustling souks) showcases daily life much as it has for centuries.
I especially love the El Jem tour for its expert guides and early morning access before the crowds arrive. The Kairouan excursion thoughtfully includes time for both the religious sites and local craft workshops. Transportation is efficient, and lunches feature good local fare.
