Amazing place. Spend almost an hour here. It’s really huge and you can go everywhere, including basement and pretty much all the way to the top. Highly highly recommended! Entry price was 12 dinars.

One of the best preserved roman amphitheaters in the world and a must-see in El Jem. Be sure to climb the stairs up to the top, to get a full overview and also visit the areas below ground level. What an awesome archaeological site. We loved it.

The amphitheater is worth every kilometer traveled to get there. Its sheer size is unbelievable. Corridors, stairs, tunnels—everything is available to explore, offering an incredible view of El Jem. It’s truly worth the visit. I went in the late afternoon and enjoyed the golden hues of the structure and a spectacular sunset from the stands. To fully appreciate the site, you’ll need at least an hour for a relaxed visit, including time to pause and take it all in. It’s like traveling back in time, imagining everything that must have happened there 2,200 years ago. Pure joy!

Wonderfully preserved Roman coliseum which was built around 1,800 years ago, and could hold around 35,000 spectators. The access is great, as you can go everywhere, from standing in the central arena, to standing at the highest tiers. You can even access the underground tunnels and cells, which I found amazing. Entrance cost us 8 tnd each, which is great value for money, and the toilets were clean, and free. Well worth a visit.
