El Djem Amphitheater

The El Djem Amphitheater (El Djem), also known as Thysdrus Amphitheater after the old Roman city in the area, is located in a tranquil Tunisian town. El Jem's main attraction is an exceptionally enormous and well-preserved Roman amphitheater that attracts people from all over the world. This is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Tunisia.

UNESCO has designated El Djem as a World Heritage Site since 1979, despite the fact that it is one of the most evocative Ancient Roman constructions in the world. This old treasure was also featured in Monty Python's film 'Life of Brian.'

Today, you enter El Jem amphitheater by descending a set of steps that resemble stadium seats. Explore every nook and cranny of the old stadium, from the underground corridors where animals were kept ready for games to the arena where gladiators would have fought them. You can also take a guided tour to learn more about the history of the theater. Otherwise, take your time seeing the site before arriving at the modest shop for a souvenir.
