Hammamet has some of the best beaches in Tunisia and so tourists flock there. It also has a really nice Medina.....
Then off to Sidi Bou Said to explore ancient Carthage! Via La Goulette......
Our Tunisian guide was very happy to see a cruise ship docked.....he commented 1800 people going into Tunis on tours!! It was rather large!
Our hotel, the Dar Said, view........
Sidi Bou is known for its blue doors....and I couldn't resist!
I did manage to find a few other colors........ but not many!
On the Byrsa Hill there were some excavated Punic homes...... but most were destroyed and buried when the Romans took Carthage around 146 BC.......
In Punic days........ it looked like this.......
After the Romans won.......
Then on to the Baths of Antoninus.... a huge area!
There really was not much left at Carthage.........So happy to have been able to see all the other sites!
