Zaghouan Day Trip

Zaghouan Aqueduct and the Roman Water Temple are essential sites for understanding Tunisia's history. An expert English-speaking guide will lead your visit.

Zaghouan Day Trip Itinerary

Your day trip starts at 8 am with pickup from your hotel in Tunis. After a thirty-minute drive, you'll arrive at the first destination: the Roman aqueduct of Zaghouan.

In the second century, under Emperor Hadrian, the Roman Empire faced a water supply issue in northern Africa. To address this, they built an aqueduct to connect a water source in Zaghouan with ancient Carthage. Much of the aqueduct is still intact, offering insight into an engineering marvel as your guide explains its construction and design, which were advanced for their time.

Next, you'll proceed to the outskirts of modern Zaghouan to visit the Roman Water Temple, also commissioned by Emperor Hadrian. Your guide will share the significance of this sacred spring and its importance in ancient culture.

After the Water Temple tour, you'll enjoy a traditional meal of Turkish specialties at a restaurant in central Zaghouan, where Mediterranean and Arab cuisines blend for a satisfying experience.

Upon finishing your meal, you'll return to Tunis, with drop-off at your hotel around 5 pm.
