At the tip of Cap Bon, El Haouaria is famousfor falconry and Roman caves carved out of sandstone close to the coast. Spend some timeexploring these caves, first mined by the Carthaginians and later by the Romans. Kerkouane,the most perfectly preserved Punic-Phoenician town in the world, was built in the 6th centuryBC and suddenly abandoned 250 years later. This horseshoe-shaped town was the base for themanufacture of Tyrian purple and a thriving community of craftsmen. Excavations have revealedthat Kerkouane’s luxurious homes incorporated underground sewers and stone bathrooms withmodern looking bathtubs, and their design of mosaic floors was copied by the Romans.The KHROumiria and Ancient tOWns of tELLThe wooded and hilly Khroumiria region bordering Algeria differs dramatically from the rest ofTunisia. Bulla Regia is the only site in the Roman world with semi-subterranean houses belongingto the Hadrianic period; the basilicas, temples and baths exhibiting the unique architecture ofthe region. El Kef enjoys a commanding location as capital of the northern border region. Thedragooned domes, octagonal minaret and whitewashed walls of the Sidi Bou Makhlouf Mosquemake it one of the most attractive towns in Tunisia. The UNESCO World Heritage archaeologicalsite of Dougga, a well preserved Roman town reflecting the high living standard of its 5,000inhabitants, is built on an elevated site overlooking a fertile plain. See its important marble quarries,the cluster of columns and semi-circular colonnade of the Temple of Juno Caelestis, and theTemple of Tellus’ villas with intact mosaic floors are well worth exploring.Woman troglodyte,Matmata
