Much to be said, yet, the place is relatively far from the city of Msila, if you wish to catch the bus to Maadid, where this fort is located, you better be there early (7AM ) since few lines go through this region, I had to take a cab. I advise you to start first by the museum then you move to the fort, 20mn on foot. It s worth it !

Historic site between the mountains far away from the highway and public roads , very empty , no visitors at that time , unfortunately i was not allowed to take pictures , i took a couple of shots before the guards stopped me and asked if i had a permission of the ministry of culture . Founding: Built in 1007 CE by Hammad ibn Buluggin, who was the first ruler of the Hammadid dynasty. Capital of the Hammadids: It served as the first capital of the Hammadid dynasty. The Hammadids were a Berber dynasty (part of the Zirid lineage) ruling parts of North-Africa.

A nice place for history lovers

Beni Hammad Castle, Algeria 🇩🇿 1007 AD 80% of the antiquities are underground The first Islamic architecture of its kind in the Maghreb

Beni Hammad Fort, also called Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad (Arabic: قلعة بني حماد‎) is a fortified palatine city in Algeria. Now in ruins, in the 11th century, it served as the first capital of the Hammadid dynasty. It is in the Hodna Mountains northeast of M'Sila, at an elevation of 1,418 metres (4,652 ft), and receives abundant water from the surrounding mountains. Beni Hammad Fort is near the town of Maadid (aka Maadhid), about 225 kilometres (140 mi) southeast of Algiers, in the Maghreb. In 1980, it was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and described as "an authentic picture of a fortified Muslim city". The town includes a 7-kilometre (4 mi) long line of walls. Inside the walls are four residential complexes, and the largest mosque built in Algeria after that of Mansurah. It is similar in design to the Grand Mosque of Kairouan, with a tall minaret, 20 metres (66 ft). Excavations have brought to light numerous terracotta, jewels, coins and ceramics testifying to the high level of civilization under the Hammadid dynasty. Also among the artifacts discovered are several decorative fountains using the lion as a motif. The remains of the emir's palace, known as Dal al-Bahr, include three separate residences separated by gardens and pavilions. The fortress was built in 1007 by Hammad ibn Buluggin, the son of Buluggin ibn Ziri, the founder of Algiers. The city became the capital of the Hammadid Berbers, and sustained a siege from the Zirid in 1017. In 1090 it was abandoned under the menace of the Banu Hilal, and was partly destroyed by the Almohads in 1152.

The Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad is an archeological site in Algeria, which was the first capital of the Hammadid empire. It was founded in 1007 and destroyed in 1152. The Qal'a (Fortress) is located at more than 1,000m altitude. The town includes a 7 km-long line of walls. Inside the walls are four residential complexes, and the second largest mosque in Algeria. The remains of the emir's palace, known as Dal al-Bahr, include three separate residences separated by gardens and pavilions. Excavations have brought to light numerous terracotta, jewels, coins and ceramics testifying to the high level of civilization under the Hammadid dynasty.

Monument to humanity, well preserved with an elegant minaret of beni hammed, magnificent Islamic architecture ...

You have nice shot

really nice for tourist

The view is kinda good

If you go to Algeria and you did not visit this location, you did not see anything. No comment at all. I suggest to visit, you want regret.

I really love this place, the best moment to visit is just before the sunset. I gave 4/ 5 because of all the trashes present in such a beautiful place (plastic bottles) please for all visitors no one at that hight will clean your garbage

Worth to be visited. Calm and relaxing

god it's sooo exhausting climbing that bridge just to take a few pictures like tf,like build an elevator or smth i ain't gonna climbe ALL that way just for few pictures AND everything is so damn expensive like wdym toilet 50da even tho it's nasty and musty ew

best forest park in whole kabylia, under yemma gouraya superpower.

The best view ever 😍

A beautiful place. The top mountain was not very interesting but it was beautiful we took some pictures and had fun and went back, it was beautiful.

Not much else to say other than simply amazing. One of the best views in Béjaïa

This photo doesn't represent Pic des Singes but it's Cap Carbon. Don't think you can reach that summit where there is the lighthouse. It is not accessible. Although the garbage is everywhere, you still can enjoy the view if you walk further.

Peaceful, refreshing and splendid 😍🥰

Nice place recommend it 💯

So beautiful places

Cool view over the city

A natural place transformed to a mini market so many shooting spots so much noise a non enjoyable music to bad they turned a natural landscape to a shooting spot full of shitty music. And also not clean at all

A very beautiful place in Bejaïa! A must-seen 🤩 You can swim, buy souvenirs and traditional clothes of Kabyle. You can also get dressed with kabyle clothes and be pictured with amazing decoration in front of the fall, one picture will cost you 200DA + other charges of the frames.

Very beautiful place! I highly recommend folks to visit because you can dress up in Kaybyle clothes and yake pictures. Sorry, I don't know the price as my husband paid for it, but it's worth it. AND they have peacocks 🤗🥳

There’s is a lot of things to do Zip-line , buying traditional stuff , fruits … I recommended this place

A natural place transformed to a shooting studio, so many shooting spots, tied monkey, so much noise, a non enjoyable music, animation..etc, too bad they turned a natural landscape to a shooting spot full of shitty music. And also not clean at all.

Beautiful waterfall w/ a market to buy Kabyle oriented accessories in and plenty of other fun activities such as ziplining, and swimming, it has paid parking with a pretty decent space, only complain is that the road leading up tend to have a lot of traffic specially during rush hours.

It's a great place but bad restaurants bad food will not even be my home or not for living with a serious friendship or a good thing about it or not even a few people in a row or two with a few more of them to be done with a couple more weeks of birth in a few days before we went to the airport and you asked us about you doing I'm afraid to ask your

You should be very careful, there are a lot of weird teenagers around

Ain El Fouara is a gem in the heart of Sétif. Its lively atmosphere, stunning fountains, and historical architecture make it a must-visit place. Highly recommended for all visitors to Sétif !

For a visiteur to Setif for the first time, def not what I have expected to see, but taking into account this status got attacked twice I don't blame em for covering it.

Very nice,

Nice and old place in the city centre of Setif

Ain El Fouara Fountain (literally fountain spring gushing) is an emblematic and famous monument of Setif in Algeria. This fountain consist of a statue made in 1898 by the French sculptor Francis de Saint-Vidal.

You can t visit Setif city without enjoying the Fountain magic place.

- Visitors and tourists are invited to discover and admire the rich history of Sitifis. - The museum is small and well-organized. - Lack of descriptions in English!

The museum was half closed for maintenance during my visit but it's pretty good, calm, well organized and has detailed description for everything exposed in both Arabic and English, only downside is that the only section that was open felt a bit small, also entrance is completely free.

An archaeological place par excellence. Everything is clean and tidy and has excellent lighting. You can walk around freely and there is an explanatory sign next to everything It explains the history of this monument, in addition to the fact that entry is free, so I recommend visiting this place, as you will benefit greatly

Unfortunately I didn't have a guide to explain some of the items but it's worth the visit

So went ot this museum on a weekend wasnt that busy, it had a few tours going on talking about the history. I probaly wouldnt go back.

Love ❤️

Not Bad.

Pretty good Mall w/ paid parking, the parking cost 50DA per hour, which isn't bad at all, the mall has variety of shops from food, clothes, dishes and everything in between, however the prices are too expensive, there is also a "games/entertainement" section in the top upper floor.

Good place to spend an evening. Don't plan on buying much though. prices are to high and there's not a great variety. Great supermarket, everything is available. Good parking

One of the best things about going to visit this park is the chance to get to see the beautiful city of Setif, famous attraction (الفوارة), visit the zoo (which was more crowded with animals than most zoos), have a really nice dinner (Broaster Chicken right down the corner), play some games in the open air and of course do your shopping. The only inconvenience that i had with the mall was the interior design, we kept getting lost inside (maybe that’s what they intended :P ) 2024 update: the restauration inside is terrible. Avoid having lunch or dinner in the mall’s restaurants.

The mall was very very very crowed, I was not able to enjoy anything, epically food, and it was very noisy, it has a good collection of store and restaurant, it even has a small amusement parcel in the third floor, I visited it at new years but when asked around, it wasn’t Crowded because of new year, it’s always like that, in general it’s not a bad mall, but because of how crowded it is, I don’t think I’ll visit it again

It was a good day with my little daughter. We have much fun. Eat, play and shopping

A good place to spend time with family and a perfect place to ur children, nice shops fast-foods restaurants entertainment.....

Nice shopping mall. Several shops of foods dresses mobiles sunglasses etc. You have several European brands. Bit overpriced for local algerian people. This mall contains a recreational area, food hall area. This place looks so strange in the capital of the haut plateau. Highly recommended.

A great place to spend a day with family and relax, the price is (100da for grown ups, and 50da for under 12), it includes a variety of animals and cozy places to sit, also a little amusement park. There are places to eat (i didn't try it), a small mosalla to pray for men and women.

Lovely place with a small selection of animals. Everything for a lovely day out.

Like the nature and service a little bit was fine i wish they had more chairs or clean table

The zoo is a lovely place, great for relaxing with family and also works well as a park. However, they need to take better care of the animals and improve hygiene, especially by cleaning and changing the dirty water where ducks and other animals swim.

Watching animals in captivity (even if born in captivity) doesn't make me feel good..i hope the staff are taking care of them..the organization is very good but total absent of security around the animals..kids giving them junk food like ships and popcorn - In complete innocence of course - there is a lot of gift shops around the zoo. A lot of games for the kids restaurants and ice cream shops ..the parking outside is guarded so enjoy your day

Bad experience Its for losers, teenagers are everywhere disturbing everyone, and everyone is looking for girls, it seems they never see a girl outside and its not a family place

Its a crime against Animals the Animals there are very pooor, and the living area are not made fir animals is very ugly ... and the visitors are acting like inhuman

I stayed here for 6 days in winter. Pros: decent pricing, large rooms, welcoming staff, and a great location close to Jijel station. Cons: cleaning staff barely clean, just straighten the bed, and friends of the receptionist often smoke in the lobby, which is disrespectful to families and residents.

Cheap rooms So clean The best for 2 nights budget stays

Worst hotel you can visit, not advised

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the door of the hotel because we didn't know where to sleep. I went into the room. I said go, salam, I owe it to you, plus it's expensive for who knows (Original) Je suis arrivé à la porte de l hôtel car on savait pas où dormir je suis rentrée dans la chambre j ai dit aller salam je vous le devons en plus il est cher pour que sait

Good reception and great location

(Translated by Google) Bad service, very expensive traffic Paraport has their service, no network whatsoever the three lines mm the wifi of the hotel there is no please reorganize it better wellah (Original) Service nul, les trafis trés chère Paraport a leur service, aucun réseau que ce soit les trois lignes mm le wifi de l'hôtel y'a pas veuillez réorganiser vous c mieux wellah

(Translated by Google) Prices change according to the seasons, but remain high due to the level of cleanliness and comfort inside the hotel. For days outside the tourist season, the price of a single room may reach 2,000 DZD, and it may become a good option for people with limited income. If you are forced to and do not care much about the level of cleanliness, I think it is worth spending the night here. It will be a good decision. Because despite the level of cleanliness, the rooms contain air conditioning, private toilets, television, and morning breakfast. Price schedule for the summer vacation season starting July 21, 2023: >One person room 3500 DZD >A room for 2 or 3 people 5000 DZD >A room for 5 people 6000 DZD All rooms have air conditioning, refrigerator, TV, bathroom and toilet Morning breakfast The parking lot is guarded For inquiries or reservations: phone number/fax 034476124 (Original) الأسعار تتغير حسب المواسم ولكن تبقى مرتفعة نظرا لمستوى النظافة والراحة داخل الفندق ، بالنسبة للايام خارج مواسم السياحة سعر الغرفة الفردية قد يصل إلى 2000 دج ، وقد تصبح خيار جيد لذوي الدخل المحدود ، فإذا كنت مضطرا ولا تهتم كثيرا لمستوى النظافة، أظن أن قضاء الليلة هنا سيكون قرارا جيدا. لأنه بالرغم من مستوى النظافة فالغرف تحتوي على مكيفات و مراحيض خاصة، تلفاز ، و فطور صباح. جدول الأسعار الخاص بموسم الإصطياف إبتداءا من يوم 21 جويلية 2023 : >غرفة شخص واحد 3500 دج >غرفة لشخصين أو 3 أشخاص 5000 دج >غرفة 5 أشخاص 6000 دج كل الغرف تحتوي على مكيف الهواء ، ثلاجة ، تلفزة ، حمام ومرحاض فطور الصباح حضيرة السيارات محروسة للإستفسار أو الحجز : رقم الهاتف / الفاكس 034476124

Name: Emir Abdelkader Mosque – Constantine Description: The Emir Abdelkader Mosque is one of the most iconic religious and architectural landmarks in Algeria, located in the heart of Constantine. Inaugurated in 1994, it was the largest mosque in the country at the time, and is considered a masterpiece that blends Andalusian Islamic style with Maghrebi traditions. The mosque features a prayer hall that accommodates over 15,000 worshippers, two minarets standing 107 meters tall, and intricate marble decorations and Quranic inscriptions. It also houses the Emir Abdelkader University of Islamic Sciences, making it both a religious and educational center. Contributions: A serene and majestic place ideal for worship and reflection. Hosts a large Islamic library open to researchers and students. A cultural and tourist destination attracting visitors from Algeria and abroad. Family-friendly and appealing to those interested in Islamic architecture. Equipped with spacious parking and surrounded by green spaces.

A true architectural gem and a place of peace! The Emir Abdelkader Mosque in Constantine is absolutely stunning — from its grand dome and elegant minarets to the beautiful interior details. The atmosphere is calm, spiritual, and welcoming. Everything is very clean and well maintained, and the staff are kind and respectful. From the upper terrace, you get an amazing view of the city of Constantine. A must-visit not only for worshippers, but also for anyone who appreciates culture, art, and Islamic architecture. Highly recommended!

personally i find this mosque very impressive with beautiful architecture and have a big garden with available parking lots i enjoyed praying in that mosque i had such a great time in the amir abdlekader mosque

This mosque is extremly beautiful in nighg and day time, i loved praying in this mosque. But there was a really bad experience for me with security staff that they do not know how to treat a guest while sitting in the lawn area. My wife is algerian national, went to visit this mosque and security staff disrespected us. The way of talking of them it could be improved but they talked badly. But i hope, the staff would be learning how to talk and welcome foreigners. Apart from that my experience in all cities was really nice, people are so kind and polite.

Great and very big Mosque located in Constantine. Architecture of the mosque is beautiful. With so many details. It have a large plateau behind mosque with wonderful garden.

BEAUTIFUL! I was not ready for the monumental size and beauty of this building! Both outside and inside are stunning and it has a very big courtyard

What a mesmerising place to worship, meditate and escape to Allah!

You can get the most amazing and scenic views of the city form this beautiful bridge , worth a visit if you are in Constantine Easily accessible by car and it’s a free activity

I had the chance to see the bridge's holding system, the ropes which are wrapped around the rock! Beautiful view, you should visit it!

Gorgeous place ❤️😍. Beautiful mountains 🏔️ and history. I mean 5000 years… mind blowing….

🇵🇸🫆👑

a breathtaking place worth visiting. it's just a shame that there are people who throw empty bottles from the bridge directly at cars driving on the road under the bridge.

It was built by the French in 1912. It is also called the suspension bridge. Its height is estimated at 175 meters and its length is 168 meters. It is the highest bridge in the city. Beautifu suspended bridge.

Sidi M cid bridge. Enjoy the view from it.

A beautiful building that was well maintained. Its architecture is unique. It was very hot to visit, definitely take a fan with you and treat the place with respect. You pay 100 da to go to the rooftop but I would not recommend those stairs for claustrophobic people.

Beautiful basilica with white marble and traditional/roman architecture, the only problem is that it's hard to go to because of the bumpy road, either way I'd recommend it

The cathedral opens generally around 9.30. Had to pay 100 da to go on the roof.

Definitely worth the visit. Pay 100dzd and get to the rooftop. Amazing view from up there to the city. Beautifully maintained building. Good job for the people taking care of this historical masterpiece.

Marvelous architecture and it's facing a real beautiful view of the whole city as it's located at the top.. the environment there is really great, down to the place they have thier own time for visiting so you better be sure you go there when it's allowed to go in and check it from the inside as well.. great opportunity to see how a real church looks like and read the history of that church as it seems it has been there for ages.. I'd leave you with few pictures ..

I am a Muslim. I visited this place because of its view of the sea and the beautiful view, a very bumpy and high road, a place that is not suitable for tourism because it is very dirty. It has security and lacks facilities because when you go up you need to eat and drink, a very beautiful view in front of the church, and thank you.

The architecture of the church from outside is a beautiful , and calm place, with its own view of the town and sea .

😍 been visiting annaba since i was kid but this is my first time visiting that beautiful place #Algeria #Annaba

An amazing beach with golden sand and clean water. It deserves to be visited

nice beach

Very neat and secured beach. If you don't want to pay for seats and table, you can come with yours. Here one finds a private beach just demarcated from the public beach. Well same water: one can swim on both side. It is so far my favorite beach.

A very beautiful and clean beach, at the same time it is sometimes very crowded, one must take into account the heavy traffic of vehicles on the road leading to the beach

Nice place in general where the beach meet the sea ⛰🌊 A clean beach but the location is 5/10 (3andkom men les rochers XD) Not suitable for families in the estival season Lack of the means of transports especially in the afternoon for those who don't have a car (les Taxis yprofitiew w yzidou f les prix) A small garden for kids suitable for picnics between friends

The Annabi coast includes many beautiful beaches, which makes it a destination for all lovers of traveling to Algeria to enjoy its golden sun and the blue of warm sea water. In the water games on the beach. You can also take a small boat to see the city from a different perspective, during which you can try your luck in fishing.

(Translated by Google) Maybe better (Original) Peut être mieux

Bulla is quite a large site, but is not in a very good state yet. Some things like the theatre have been unearthed and the house of the hunt is fantastic and well worth a visit. There are some other interesting areas and once its excavated properly this will be quite an impressive site. However its still very much worth a visit.

Another stunning archeological site to be found in the north of Tunisia. It would be very wrong to assume that the archaeological sites in the north of Tunisia are fairly similar. They all offer something completely different; that is what makes Bulla Regia special. The subterranean buildings on site are incredible and unique. It is amazing to find mosaic tiles open to the elements but have survived for over 2000 years. The site is fairly big and has various structures such as a theatre, baths, and underground buildings. I’d recommend exploring here for at least 2 hours. There are tour guides on site for those who need one. There is one particular bath to the far end of Venus House, to the left, almost a dead end. I’m not sure how many visitors discover this! I have been to Dougga and Oudna and would say that all three are uniquely different. Bulla Regia is about 2 hours from Tunis and 75 minutes from Dougga. Driving from Tunis to Bulla Regia is fairly easy; motorway for the best part of the journey. The views are beautiful. You will not regret visiting Bulla Regia. Free parking opposite site. Ticket office is near the car park before you cross over to the site itself. Tickets are very affordable.

This site is about 1 hr away from Dougga by car and it’s a smaller site. There is a theater and a bath in the center area, which are quite modest compared to Dougga. What makes this place unique are the underground houses. A few of them are restored with the mosaic in place. You really get to feel what the place was like in its prime.

This site absolutely exceeded expectations. The underground Roman houses and mosaics are fascinating, and visiting with a local guide really brings the history to life. The layout can be a bit tricky on your own, so having someone explain it makes a big difference. A must-see for anyone exploring northern Tunisia — unique and unforgettable.

Nice roman ruins. Intact mosaics in some villas. Not very busy but gets very hot so bring water and a hat, sun screen

This is an extraordinary site known for its unique underground houses and exquisite mosaics. Exploring it with a local guide is highly recommended, as the layout can be a bit tricky and the stories behind the ruins are truly captivating. It’s a place full of surprises and beauty — an unforgettable stop for anyone who loves history and discovery.

Spectacular place, plenty to walk around and see. Beautiful mosaics are still in a very good condition. The underground site it's amazing, the theatre is remarkable. Not too many tourists come here but it's totally worth it. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. Make sure to negotiate the price before you're taking the guide, it's not a must.

The staff at this hotel are incredible – very, very friendly and always ready to help. The view is on another level – absolutely fantastic! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The swimming pools are huge and perfect for relaxing. The restaurants were fantastic, with delicious food and great service. Highly recommended!

Wonderful staff very welcoming. Our 3rd visit feel like I have been welcomed home. Great food breakfast and dinner. Room with view. What more could you want oh yes a fabulous spa.

this hotel is AMAZING it has a wide selection of rooms, from standard to premium, to bungalows and villas. the room service was excellent, i’ll be it a little slow and the restaurants are delicious. swimming pools were great, had fun

A Hidden Gem in Tabarka: I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel La Cigale in Tabarka, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've had in a hotel. From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made me feel right at home. The hotel's location is absolutely stunning, nestled along the beautiful coastline with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of the sun rising over the water was a magical way to start each day. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, offering all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I particularly appreciated the comfortable bedding and the private balcony, which provided a perfect spot to relax with a book or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The dining options at La Cigale were fantastic! The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delicious choices, from fresh fruits to pastries and local specialties. The on-site restaurant served exquisite meals, featuring fresh seafood and traditional Tunisian dishes that left my taste buds dancing. The hotel also boasts an impressive range of facilities, including a refreshing swimming pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and easy access to the beach. I took advantage of the various activities and excursions available, from exploring the historical sites of Tabarka to snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters. Overall, my stay at Hotel La Cigale was nothing short of perfect. The combination of stunning scenery, exceptional service, and comfortable accommodations makes it a must-visit destination. I can't wait to return to this beautiful hotel and experience its charm once again

The hotel is definitely on the pricey side, but every single cent is worth it. From the moment you step in, you can feel the quality and care that’s put into everything. The service is truly exceptional — the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They’re warm, professional, and always smiling, ready to help with anything you need. It’s rare to find people who genuinely enjoy their job, and here, it shows in every interaction. Cleanliness is impeccable. Every corner of the hotel is spotless — from the lobby to the rooms, the pool area to the dining spaces. You get a real sense of comfort knowing everything is so well-maintained and hygienic. Now let’s talk about the food — it’s nothing short of spectacular. The meals are a perfect balance of quality and quantity. You’re served generous portions, but it’s not just about how much — the taste is phenomenal. The ingredients are fresh, the dishes are beautifully presented, and each bite is packed with flavor. It’s the kind of food that makes you pause and appreciate every mouthful. And then there’s the view. The hotel is perfectly located, offering breathtaking scenery that combines the best of both worlds — the peaceful strength of the mountains and the endless beauty of the sea. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast on the terrace, relaxing by the pool, or just sitting on your balcony, the natural surroundings take your breath away. It’s calming, energizing, and unforgettable all at once. Overall, this hotel isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience. Whether you’re there to relax, recharge, or explore, it delivers on every level

If paradise had an address, it might just be La Cigale Tabarka.” From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like we’d walked into a warm embrace. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles, and throughout our stay, their attention to detail was remarkable, the kind of service where you feel seen, remembered, and cared for without ever having to ask. Each morning started with the kind of breakfast buffet you dream about on the plane ride home tables filled with freshly baked breads, flaky pastries, colorful seasonal fruits, and the rich aroma of Tunisian coffee drifting through the air. I still think about the local mlawi and the fresh cheeses. each bite was a little taste of the region’s traditions. If you go, take your time here; this isn’t a breakfast you rush. Then there’s the beach: oh, the beach. A stretch of soft golden sand that meets water so clear you can see your toes even when you’re waist-deep. In the mornings, it’s peaceful enough to hear only the gentle waves, and by sunset, the horizon glows in shades of orange and pink that make you want to stay until the last light fades. On quieter afternoons, we wandered to the Tabarka marina, watched the fishing boats come in, and explored the old fort perched above the sea. The surrounding hills offered breathtaking views for those willing to take a short hike and if you love photography, you’ll find endless inspiration. The other afternoon we have booked a golf course tour. It is worth every minute. Do not miss it if you have time. La Cigale isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience. It’s the kind of place where you leave not just rested, but with memories you’ll keep replaying long after you’re home.

If you’re looking for a unique experience of french colonial nostalgia, sexism and cultural erasure - then you’re at the right hotel. La cigale offers all this. You want to swim in their pools? be prepared to strip down — because here, your access to the water is directly proportional to how much skin you're willing to show. Long sleeves? Hijab? Modesty? Absolutely not. Only itsy-bitsy bikinis allowed, because apparently, women only belong in the pool if they’re dressed to please someone else’s gaze. Don’t bother mentioning feminism — they seem allergic to the idea that women are more than their bodies. If your idea of "local flavor" is a vaguely “oriental” café designed for Instagram photos, you're out of luck. Everything caters to the tourist palette No culture, speak french here! I stayed for 3 nights, that was enough. I couldn’t bear watching women in hijab having to watch how men and other women are enjoying their pool privileges, while they are banned. Boycott

Dougga is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved Roman ruins I have ever visited. Surrounded by stunning green hills, the site offers breathtaking views of the Tunisian countryside. The ancient theater, temples, and Roman roads are remarkably intact, giving a true feeling of traveling back in time. Walking through the ruins, you can almost imagine the daily life of the people who lived here centuries ago. The atmosphere is peaceful, the air is fresh, and the mix of nature with history makes Dougga a unique and unforgettable place to explore. Truly a must-see in Tunisia

An expansive site with temples, houses ,aqueducts ,wells, mosaics ,amphitheatre, tunnels in rural location. The countryside is attractive, green and productive and much of the ancient remains are still underneath the ground Visit included in the small group tour itinerary. Take water as if hot. Not crowded . Uneven ground.

Genuinely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. If you go to Tunisia, you HAVE to visit this site. It is FULL of history and the place is wonderful preserved. The main temple is also so quiet and spiritual — I felt truly at peace here. There’s also many beautiful birds around to see. Unlike a lot of sites in Tunisia, Dougga is in a completely rural area in the countryside. It feels peaceful and magical like stepping back in time. Definitely go if you want to see a well-preserved old Roman city! TIP: go early in the morning because it will be very quiet and you’ll have the whole site mostly to yourself. At about 10am, all the massive tour busses arrive and it becomes busy.

Dougga is probably one of the largest and best preserved Roman ruins I have seen outside of Europe. The theatre is still in quite good condition and many of the other areas are more than just foundations. It can take two or three hours to walk around the whole site. There are some things an extended way out from the main area. This was the first time I had seen cisterns like this for storing water, they are quite impressive. There are still a few mosaics, but it looks like most have been moved to Bardo museum. This is one site that is definitely worth a visit.

It is said that Dugga is the best preserved Roman town in north Africa, and this is definitely not an overstatement. As you enter, you can admire the majesty of the place where you see the remains of the temple with giant pillars, various villas, the Roman bath, as well as many other sections expected to see in a Roman town. The layout is in a way that you can starts your exploration in one line and end at the same place you started as first. Since Dugga is a bit of a distance from other places, not many visitors go there and you can easily enjoy the place for yourself, or with a very few people on site. This is certainly a place to visit when you're in Tunisia.

If you haven’t seen Thugga, you haven’t seen anything… I’m a lover of antiquity — I’ve seen many ancient cities, yet Thugga completely captivated me. It’s a gigantic archaeological site, a terraced city crowned with a Capitol. It surpasses Herculaneum and Pompeii in terms of atmosphere, peace, and quiet! This Punic-Roman city is over 2,400 years old (exactly how old, it’s hard to say). Despite the reconstructions carried out by the Romans, you can still clearly see Phoenician–Carthaginian–Libyan influences — the most striking being the tall funerary towers. The Mausoleum of Ateban is a must-see — a true rarity on a world scale. Upon entering the complex, I managed to park just behind the gate — parking is included in the ticket price (I paid 8 DT). There are restrooms, and inside the site there’s a small café with decent prices and freshly squeezed orange juice for 7 DT. Unfortunately, they don’t serve pomegranate juice — even though the area around Thugga is famous for its pomegranates (you’ll pass hundreds of roadside stalls selling them on your way to the city). The city is enormous. I walked around for three hours under the full sun and still wasn’t tired of it! Sadly, I couldn’t manage to cover the entire 65-hectare site. What impressed me the most weren’t the Capitol, the amphitheater, the triumphal arch, or the temples such as the one dedicated to Celestis (Tanit), nor even the Punic tombs. What truly amazed me was a currently reconstructed Roman villa with a garden, the mosaics in every house I entered (most are damaged, but when you pour a bit of water over them, their colors and the craftsmanship come alive), and the ruins of a huge building resembling a gymnasium, with a circular engraving on the floor — I suppose it had an educational purpose. Recognized by UNESCO since 1997, Thugga stands as a testimony to our shared human heritage. Yet, it faces neglect due to a lack of resources. Tunisia cannot preserve it on its own — the international community must act now to safeguard it for future generations. I absolutely love Tunisia’s monuments — their accessibility, beauty, and the fact that people still don’t fully appreciate them, which means there are no crowds. Thugga guarantees an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend visiting this place!

I've traveled all over the world to explore historical ruin sites. IMO, this is a top 10 site and will get much better as they continue to excavate.

We drove more than 3 hours to visit this lake but when we arrived the man who works there told us that it is closed for 2 years now without any explanation . We were so disappointed ,there was nothing no instructions about the place or any information

Very disappointed. There is no fauna, the toilets were dirty. It's a good place for hiking but other than that it's not that great....

The place is so nice, calm, a good place to go where enjoy landscapes in Tunisia.

I love very much my friends

So cooooooool .

Beautiful people. Heartwarming atmosphere

Clean

the saddest experience at a museum. for 2 dinars I learned nothing and not a singular fish has even the species name beside the aquarium spot it is in. I was excited to visit but the museum is in such a dire need for renovations and amelioration.

Total rip off! Animal abuse, lots of dead fish. This place needs to be closed quickly!👎 If I wanted to see dead fish, I would've went to the fish market nearby. This is not a museum. We told the staff about all the dead fish and got told that "everytime they buy new fish, they die". Don't support this association that is killing one fish after another. There are zero information about the fish, biodiversity etc. so its not informative at all.

Antique museum offer some variety of fish ,with a great view upstairs and an affordable price .. Ps : the old turtle is a must see

It's a small museum with small aquariums located in ancient building.

No service and bad animals treatment !

Cool

A pleasant site to visit. It's a little far from the city, but well worth a visit. The area is medium maintained and you can still see some mosaics on the floor. I spent about 2h30 to 3h there.

A very beautiful and lovely site not touristy, you won’t find a lot of crowds there. A lot of history and beauty. I highly recommend it ✨👌

The place was quite spacious, but I wouldn't recommend visiting in the evening as it gets uncomfortably hot. They do have bathrooms available. Thuburbo Majus is a historic site worth exploring.

Amazing roman ruins, where you can walk through the buildings and inside several of them. High recommended.

A big archaeological site to see a Roman city founded about 2000 years ago…the area is a very fertile area about 40 miles south west of Carthage…the site is not well preserved by the government, no one work there just a ticket guy …no guides no shop to buy souvenirs …when I pass everything was closed I don’t know why …

Large archeological site about 90 minutes drive from Tunis or Hammamet. Probably will spend about 2 hours to walk around the site . We got there on a rainy winter say day and there was no one else except the ticket guy and a guide on demand ( you have to pay extra for the guide). Ticket is 7 D pp plus 1 D for the DSLR camera ( this is standard in all monuments in Tunis). Clean toilets on site with a small shop to buy souvenirs. Closest village is 15 minutes drive.

Lovely place combining Punic, Roman and Byzantine ruins. They have specific baths for each season.

if you're interested in history, then you're in the right place! very rich place with the military history of Tunisia during several times, I've enjoyed my visit there especially to know about the clothes in every time. many commons as well between Tunisia & Egypt in military fights. good one to visit. Ticket is 5TND for foreigners.

Amazing overview of the country’s history from the beginning of the first settlements until the resistance during WW2 and the so-called Arab Spring in modern times. Very informative, very friendly staff who answer all questions. Location is more than beautiful, don’t miss the opportunity to visit!

The Tunisian National Military Museum, situated in Manouba near Tunis, is housed in the historical Rose Palace. This museum offers a glimpse into Tunisia's military legacy, showcasing artifacts such as weapons, miniature warship models, and artwork. Its exhibits span different periods, from the Carthaginian era to modern times, highlighting moments of armed resistance and historical milestones. It's a captivating destination for exploring Tunisia's history and cultural depth.

Great Displays in one of the old Beys palaces Military History well looked after here. Fantastic Gun displays, Cheap tickets with a guided tour !

Excellent little gem of a place that is one of the Bey of Tunisia's ex-palaces. Looked after by the military, who look after some if the sites of military significance in Tunisia -see the Tunisia Campaign Nov 1942- May 1943 and the Marenth Line- our guide around the Musuem told my wife and I that the word needs to get out more to attract visitor. They house some of the first few Gatling guns ever made. Enjoyable time spent.

The Palace of the Rose, built in 1798 in Manouba, is one of the finest examples of Husseinite architecture in Tunisia. A true testament to the country's rich historical and architectural heritage. 🇹🇳

Great museum and the staff was welcoming and nice But you’ll need a guide to fully enjoy it Entry fee is only 5DT

Can someone let us know what time this goes and where from

(Translated by Google) A must if you are in Sousse. It's really fun to take the tourist train. Costs 7 Tunisian dinars per person (Original) Ein Muss wenn man in Sousse ist. Schon sehr witzig mit der Bimmelbahn zuführen. Kostet pro Person 7 Tunesiche Dinar
