Meet with our guide at the lobby of the hotel.

Proceed to visit the Acqueduct, (45 km from the Residence).  Three hundred metres high on Jebel Zaghouan, a subterranean spring bursts from the rock into the aqueduct originating here. Farther this section converges with another aqueduct coming from Jougar.

Together they flow 132 kilometres to the immense cisterns of Maalga in Carthage.

Proceed to Oudhna. Since Carthage was levelled, studying Uthina’s ruins can reveal volumes about the architecture of Carthage. Though excavations of Uthina have been sporadic, the site is currently under excavation and restoration.

Few houses have been discovered, to date only one has been fully unearthed. The buried ruins are far from exhausted and lie under a considerable layer of earth.

Head for Zaghouan. Zaghouan is the site where Hamilcar (father of Hannibal) defeated the mercenaries rebelling against Carthage after the 1st Punic war. Carthage was defeated by the Romans in 241 BC and was forced to pay a heavy war tribute to Rome.

Visit the water Temple .

This once grand semi-circular temple is built close to the city, over the springs of Zaghouan. It might have been constructed around the time when Emperor Hadrian ordered the building of the aqueducts to Carthage. Its main room above the spring was, without doubt, dedicated to one of the many gods of water, and it encloses a fountain surrounded by twelve niches. Each niche previously held a statue depicting one of the twelve months of the year.
