    As the most commanding monument in North Africa, it is well preserved. It has almost an elliptical shape. Thanks to its size: (149m. the big axe's length, by 124m. the small axe's length), it could accommodate a great number of people, estimated at 30.000 person. The Roman Colosseum could welcome 43.000 with a surface covering 188m. x 156m. and a perimeter of 527m. The spectators, who came as many from the town as from its surroundings, could sit on marble tiers, each one according to his rank. The steps rose in five flight's tiers getting wider towards the top. A sophisticated stair and corridors system made it easy for the spectators to have access to the teather and to evacuate it without overcrowding. Monument inscribed on the World Heritage list since 26 October 1979.

    Magnificent Roman ruin and while I was here the weather was outstanding. Build in the 3rd century this place must have been amazing when events were held here. Much of it is open to explore and it’s on the UNESCO world heritage list so you know it’s going to be worth a visit. I had a hard time leaving. 12 Dinar entry fee.

    Great place to visit. Go in the morning so it is not too hot and you could take some decent photos. It is probably the best preserved tourist attraction in Tunisia. Just keep in mind it is a long drive from most resorts and there is not much else in the region:)

    Wow, wow, Wow. Avoid the crowns in Rome and come to the Colosseum in El Jem, Tunisia! It's the third largest in the world and the best preserved. When we met in November 2023 there were absolutely no crowds at all and the weather is perfect!

    Magnificent third largest Roman amphitheater in the world. Very well preserved. Built over 18 centuries ago, it was venue of gladiator fights and spectator events. I enjoyed seeing the below ground gladiator waiting chambers at the centre of the arena and also climbed to the top levels of structure for a good view of the amphitheater and also of the city. No queue to purchase tickets

    (Translated by Google) We knew that El-Jem is one of the largest amphitheaters of the ancient Roman Empire. We got to El-Jem from Hammamet, by regular bus, about three hours. In this small town, all roads lead to the amphitheater. There are many shops and cafes around it. , souvenir shops, so the Colosseum now brings no less benefit, it feeds more than one local family. The Colosseum itself impressed us with its size, it accommodates about 30 thousand spectators, good preservation, because more than 2 thousand years have passed since it was erected. It was interesting to wander around its territory, mentally imagine the events that took place here many centuries ago. Sit on the stone steps and imagine yourself as a participant in these events (it is better as a spectator, not a participant in the lists). We spent more than three hours in the Coliseum, took a lot of good pictures, bought a couple of souvenirs and drove back to Hammamet to have time to plunge into the sea in the evening, on the best beaches of Tunisia. (Original) Мы знали ,что в Эль-Джеме находится один из самых больших амфитеатров древнеримской империи.Добирались мы в Эль-Джем из Хаммамета ,на рейсовом автобусе , около трёх часов.В этом небольшом городке все дороги ведут к амфитеатру.Вокруг него много магазинов, кафешек, сувенирных лавок,так что Колизей приносит сейчас не меньшую пользу, кормит не одну местную семью.Сам Колизей нас впечатлил своими размерами, он вмещает около 30 тысяч зрителей, хорошей сохранностью,ведь прошло более 2 тысяч лет как его возвели.Интересно было побродить по его территории, мысленно представить события, которые происходили здесь много веков тому назад.Посидеть на каменных ступенях представив себя участником этих событий (лучше в качестве зрителя,а не участника ристалищ). В Коллизее мы провели более трёх часов, сделали много хороших снимков, купили пару сувениров и поехали обратно в Хаммамет,чтобы успеть вечером окунуться в море, на лучших пляжах Туниса.

    Worth a visit ! A Amphitheatre similar to the one in Rome but smaller and not destroyed. You can visit everything even the underground. Ask for a local guide when you arrive as they have plenty of stories to tell. The sunset is pretty beautiful.

    The colosseum at El Jem is amazing. It is very well preserved (compared with other amphitheaters except the Colosseum in Rome) and is the third largest amphitheater in the world. Visitors can visit under the amphitheater where the wild animals were kept, along with the floor of the amphitheater and the seating. It’s a must see for Roman ruin enthusiasts

    Amazing place, well-preserved architecture. The colosseum is very similar to the one in Rome. The entrance fee is very reasonable. Don't miss this site!

    El-Jem is located one hour from Soussa and is famous for having the third largest amphitheatre in the Roman world. Today, they are completely destroyed and only part of them have been rebuilt to host music festivals, but it's worth climbing to the top of the stands for a good view of the amphitheatre, which still retains the grandeur of yesteryear, and then descending to the lower halls where the beasts were kept.

    An amazing place, so full of history, right in the centre of El Jem. 12 Dinars entry (just under £3 sterling - bargain) an amazing feeling from this ancient colosseum, you can just imagine the gladiators battling slaves and lions. Also, on a personal note, my interest was because they filmed the "people's front of Judea" sketch from Monty Python's Life of Brian here!! Splitters!! Overall, well worth a visit. They also now use it show movies and concerts, it has great acoustics. There are toilets available, a small coffee shop and a gift shop.

    If visiting El Jem do not miss the Museum of Archaeology !! with the House of Africa behind a fantastic Roman Villa AD 170 and at my time included in price of Amphitheatre short walk or taxi in big square in the center only Excavated in the 90's in very few tourist books (lonely planet has featured)

    Amazingly preserved Roman amphitheatre. 12 dinars (~€4) for entry (as well as the museum around 500m away). You can walk around and inside. While the seating area has been rebuilt (authentically) for modern use, you can still walk through the passageways throughout the amphitheatre. The best part is that, unlike the colosseum in Rome, there are almost no other tourists in sight. You have a Roman amphitheatre to yourself. The only downside is that there is limited information around the site, so don't expect to have all the structures and uses explained to you.

    Great interesting place to visit. Views are amazing at the top, but be aware there are a lot of steps to get there. Its great standing where the film gladiator was filmed! Worth a visit.

    Incredible place! The only trouble is when a tour group turn up in a coach and go around as a big group, but this place is big enough to avoid them. It's actually huge and must have been incredible when it was in it's peak. Still amazing now. You do need fairly good fitness to get up and down all the stairs, but even if you've got reduced mobility the ground floor still has amazing views is still at an impressive scale.

    An incredible piece of Tunisian, Roman, and Mediterranean History! I would argue that this site is equally as impressive as the Colloseum in Rome, but it is much easier to access (at least when we went). There is a ticket counter at the gate, but I don't know if they offer tickets online. I did not look. There were very few tourists visiting the site when we went, so it was very easy to get around and see underground beneath the amphitheater and go up high into the viewing areas. This is a must-see if you are traveling in Tunisia and appreciate ancient history. Awesome.

    A unique experience with an intact structure and underground complex. I was amazed with the details of the civil engineering, the vastness of the theatre, the acoustics etc. Unlike the coliseum in Rome, the arena and the underground complex are intact and visitors can walk around them.

    The 3rd biggest Amphitheatre in the world after the Colosseum from Rome and the Amphitheatre from Pula. El Djem in the ancient time was a huge commercial hub in the North Africa. The caravans reach the coast only through El DJem. The olive oil from north Africa pass El Djem as well. That is why they needed to build this beauty to show Rome that they are also big enough to organize this games, gladiator fights and venatori fights where humans hunt beasts as lions, leopards, elephants and antelopes as they are in their habitation place.

    (Translated by Google) Ooh, these guides ... With their submission, people have erroneous data about this place. They will call it the Colosseum, then they will fantasize about the filming of the film "Gladiator" ... No "Gladiator" was filmed here ... :) Scenes with an amphitheater for this film were filmed in Malta. And to call this amphitheater "Colosseum" is not correct, as the Colosseum is one (and it is in Rome), and there are many amphitheatres. But, of course, this is a very interesting place, perfectly preserved to our time. A wonderful amphitheater in which visitors have access to all corners where you can physically go. We visited the amphitheater in El Djem as part of a 2-day excursion with a visit to the Sahara. For exploring Tunisia, the best tour option! El Jem, Matmata cave settlements, sunset Sahara and camel riding, overnight in a hotel near the southern town of Douz, meeting the dawn on the huge saltwater lake Shot El Jerid, check into Shibika oasis with mountains and swimming in a waterfall, riding on off-road vehicles on the dunes, visiting the scenery for the filming of the movie "Star Wars", drive to Kairouan - a town renowned for producing various carpet products ... Impressions weight! Highly recommend. It is a pity that the 15 photos uploaded with the review disappear ... Strange ... (Original) ОХ УЖ ЭТИ ГИДЫ... С их подачи у людей возникают ошибочные данные об этом месте. То Колизеем назовут, то нафантазируют про съёмки фильма "Гладиатор"... Никакого "Гладиатора" тут не снимали... :) Сцены с амфитеатром для этого фильма снимались на Мальте. Да и называть этот амфитеатр "Колизеем" - не правильно, так как Колизей один (и он в Риме), а амфитеатров много. Но, безусловно, это очень интересное место, отлично сохранившееся до нашего времени. Замечательный амфитеатр, в котором для посетителей открыт доступ во все уголки, куда физически можно пройти. Мы посетили амфитеатр в Эль-Джеме в рамках 2-х дневной экскурсии с посещением Сахары. Для знакомства с Тунисом -лучший вариант экскурсии! Эль-Джем, пещерные поселения Матматы, закатная Сахара и катание на верблюдах, ночёвка в отеле около южного городка Дюз, встреча рассвета на огромном соленом озере Шот Эл Джерид, заезд в оазис Шибика с горами и купанием в водопаде, катание по барханам на внедорожниках, посещение декораций для съёмок фильма "Звёздные воины", заезд в Кайруан - городок прославленный производством различных ковровых изделий... Впечатлений масса! Очень рекомендую. Жаль, что загруженные вместе с отзывом 15 фотографий исчезают... Странно...

    This amphitheater is partially uncovered, however it is actually enough to have an idea of how it used to be. This city was really built to be a north african rome. You can walk around and even sometimes make some findings, I’ve been told there are still people coming in to try to uncover some artifacts and antic items.

    Amphitheater with about 36000 capacity. Here saints Felicity and Perpetual where martyred 7 may 203. Very courageous women who sought to do the will of God and not of Man. On 9 may 1881 cardinal Lavigerie formed a chapel here. It unusually closed today. In 1887 he placed the Mable column in white marble with a cross on it. Take you time to go through the details of this.

    When you map out the various ruin sites, it makes a nice day walking around Carthage to visit them all. There’s no more than a 20 minute walk between them. This was the first location I visited and the security guard not only offered me a ticket by ‘genuine’ coins for side sale lol nice site, note the most remarkable but definitely interesting. Even a pack of street dogs call this place home

    (Translated by Google) We liked Carthage. In Carthage, the ruins are more fragmented and, as they say, taken out of context. You have to constantly get from one excavation to another. If you like to wander between the ruins, set aside a full day on this tour. (Original) Карфаген нам понравился. В Карфагене руины более разрозненны и, что называется, выхвачены из контекста. Приходится постоянно добираться от одних раскопок к другим. Если вы любите побродить между руинами, выделите целый день на эту экскурсию.

    The amphitheatre was built around 238 AD in Thysdrus, located in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis in present-day El Djem, Tunisia. It is one of the best preserved Roman stone ruins in the world, and is unique in Africa. As other amphitheatres in the Roman Empire, it was built for spectator events, and it is one of the biggest amphitheatres in the world. The estimated capacity is 35,000, and the sizes of the big and the small axes are respectively 148 metres (486 ft) and 122 metres (400 ft). The amphitheatre is built of stone blocks, located on a flat ground, and is exceptionally well conserved.[1] The amphitheatre of El Jem is the third amphitheatre built on the same place. The belief is that it was constructed by the local proconsul Gordian, who became emperor as Gordian III. In the Middle Ages, it served as a fortress, and the population sought shelter here during the attacks of Vandals in 430 and Arabs in 647. In 1695, during the Revolutions of Tunis, Mohamed Bey El Mouradi made an opening in one of the walls to stop the resistance of the followers of his brother Ali Bey al-Muradi who gathered inside the amphitheater. It is believed that the amphitheatre was used as a saltpetre manufacture in the end of the 18th and in the 19th century. Around 1850, the breach in the wall was enlarged by Ahmad I ibn Mustafa to approximately 30 metres (98 ft). In the second half of the 19th century, the structure was used for shops, dwellings, and grain storage.

    It is an oval amphitheater located in the city of El Djem in Tunisia. It was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The Ancient Theater was built in the city of Thysdrus, a suburb of El Cem in modern Tunisia, around 238 AD, when it belonged to the Roman province of Africa. It is one of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world and is like no other in Africa. Like other amphitheaters in the Roman Empire, it was built for cruising games and is one of the largest in the world. Its estimated capacity is 35,000, its dimensions are 148 x 122 meters, respectively. The theater was built of stone blocks on a flat ground and is extremely well preserved.

    A third century amphitheatre El Jem is one of the most accomplished examples of Roman architecture, not quite as large as the Coliseum of Rome but more complete. You are able to walk in the underground and around the structure freely. Built of stone with no foundations on a flat plane astounding piece of workmanship.

    Located in the small Tunisian town of El Jem, this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site stands as a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of the Roman Empire. The best time to visit is early in the morning when the crowds are less & the heat is manageable. Visitors have to purchase a ticket of 12 TND to enter the premises. The amphitheatre’s architecture is well preserved and echoes what a magnificent venue it would have been in the past with a seating capacity of close to 35000 spectators. You have the freedom to wander through a majority of levels in the amphitheatre. The best views are offered from the upper floors. There is even an underground passage, in which the entrance is somewhat hidden.

    Visited el Jem on a Friday. Entrance 12 dinar for adults and 3 dinars for children. There is no queues to go in. There was only 3 other people looking around, so you have the place to yourself. You get to see all 3 floors and even get to go in the basement. There is a small gift shop on site and a refreshments. There is toilets on site.. There is some works ongoing on the site on our visit.

    We were fortunate to visit this great, historic site in November last year. We arrived early morning, and there was an eerie low fog, which made it really atmospheric. It is a really well preserved amphitheatre, and you just wish that the walls could talk. As this visit was part of an excursion, we only had a limited time here, but we still had a good hour in here, which was enough to have a good walk round, and a good look at everything. You can explore virtually all of this great ruin in less time, but to really soak it in, take your time, and an hour is more than enough time. As someone else has mentioned, some information plaques, or boards would be handy, just to give you a bit of information about it's great history, but the lack of these doesn't take away from the historical beauty of this great ruin.

    The largest amphitheater outside Italy and one of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world. The city of Thysdrus, present-day El Jem (or El Djem) in Tunisia, was one of the most important in Roman North Africa. The ruins of this once-great trading center—and most notably of its impressive amphitheater—have been preserved by burial under desert sands. Projecting Rome’s power. The building of the amphitheater is thought to have begun in 238 CE. Capable of holding up to 35,000 people, it was intended to provide a venue for spectacular events. However, construction did not go to plan due to political turmoil in the province—the year 238 saw six rulers vying for recognition as emperor. Some archaeological evidence suggests that building work was inadequately funded and possibly not even entirely finished. Unlike others in Roman Africa, the amphitheater’s structure is free-standing rather than cut into a hillside, adding to its grandeur. Its three levels of arched galleries are constructed of sandstone blocks built onto the bedrock of the plain with no foundations. Thysdrus was occupied by Vandals in the 5th century, and then by Arabs in the 7th century, when it served as a fortress. The amphitheater remained almost intact until the 17th century, when some stones were removed for use as building materials.

    (Translated by Google) The Amphitheater of El Jem (Arabic: مسرح الجم), also called Coliseum of Thysdrus, is a Roman amphitheater located in the current Tunisian city of El Jem, the ancient Thysdrus of the Roman province of Africa. Probably built around the first third of the third century, even if its dating has been the subject of debate, it takes the succession of two buildings of the same kind, the study of which has enabled the genesis of these monumental constructions intended for Hobbies. It probably housed gladiatorial fights as well as chariot races and other circus games, but above all exhibitions of wild beasts and particularly popular wild animal hunts. According to Jean-Claude Golvin, the building marks with some others the apogee of this kind of monument, at "the end of an architectural development spread over nearly four centuries". However, the situation of Thysdrus, with its three scientifically studied amphitheatres, "seems unique in the world" according to Hédi Slim. This “Grand Amphitheater”, Tunisia's most famous Roman monument, is the best-preserved amphitheater in North Africa. It was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. The amphitheater welcomes around 530,000 visitors each year. (Original) L'amphithéâtre d'El Jem (arabe : مسرح الجم), aussi appelé Colisée de Thysdrus, est un amphithéâtre romain situé dans l'actuelle ville tunisienne d'El Jem, l'antique Thysdrus de la province romaine d'Afrique. Construit vraisemblablement vers le premier tiers du iiie siècle, même si sa datation a fait l'objet de débats, il prend la succession de deux édifices du même genre, dont l'étude a permis d'analyser la genèse de ces constructions monumentales destinées aux loisirs. Il a probablement abrité des combats de gladiateurs ainsi que des courses de chars et autres jeux du cirque, mais surtout des exhibitions de bêtes sauvages et des reconstitutions de chasses aux fauves particulièrement prisées. Selon Jean-Claude Golvin, l'édifice marque avec quelques autres l'apogée de ce genre de monument, au « terme d'une évolution architecturale étalée sur près de quatre siècles ». Cependant, la situation de Thysdrus, avec ses trois amphithéâtres étudiés scientifiquement, « paraît unique au monde » selon Hédi Slim. Ce « Grand amphithéâtre », le monument romain le plus célèbre de la Tunisie , est l'amphithéâtre le mieux conservé d'Afrique du Nord. Il a fait l'objet d'un classement au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco en 1979. L'amphithéâtre accueille chaque année environ 530 000 visiteurs

    (Translated by Google) The amphitheater of the city of El Jem is the best preserved structure of the ancient Roman era, a must-see. About a quarter of the building was dismantled by the local population at one time. But still, the structure is amazing. I'd rather come there in a rented car and walk calmly for an hour and a half or two. The guide's story is not worth the money spent. And the entrance fee is 8 dinars, plus 2 dinars for photography. In the suburbs of the city there is also a museum with mosaics, located on the territory of an ancient villa. More information on my channels in FB and VK, channel name: Own road - Alexey Engels. (Original) Амфитеатр города Эль Джем - лучшее по сохранности сооружение древнеримской эпохи, обязателен к посещению. Где то четверть сооружения была разобрана местным населением в свое время. Но всё равно сооружение потрясает. Я бы лучше приехал туда на арендованной машине и спокойно походил часа полтора, два. Рассказ гида не стоит потраченных денег. А стоимость входа - 8 динар, плюс 2 динара за фотографирование. В пригородах города ещё есть музей с мозаикой, расположен на территории древней виллы.

    (Translated by Google) According to historians, the El Jem Amphitheater is the third largest and most spacious amphitheater ever built. A very majestic structure. Considering that the second-ranked amphitheater in Capua, Italy, has hardly survived, El Jem is second only to the Colosseum. But El Jem has a number of advantages over the Colosseum: 1) it is much better preserved; 2) several times (if not tens of times) fewer tourists, which makes it possible to study it in more detail; 3) it was here that the legendary Gladiator Ridley Scott was filmed. You can visit this place either as part of a targeted excursion or during a popular trip to the Sahara. P.S. in the summer, the Vienna Opera periodically gives concerts in this amphitheater. The concerts are nightly, the atmosphere is amazing. The Vienna Opera in El Jem is the brightest impression from a trip to Tunisia. (Original) По оценкам историков Амфитеатр в Эль Джеме является третьим по размерам и вместительности из всех амфитеатров, когда-либо построенных. Очень величественное сооружение. Учитывая, что, занимающий второе место, амфитеатр в итальянской Капуе практически не уцелел, Эль Джем уступает только Колизею. Но перед Колизеем у Эль Джема есть ряд преимуществ: 1) он гораздо лучше сохранился; 2) в разы (если не десятки раз) меньше туристов, что позволяет обстоятельнее его изучить; 3) именно здесь снимался легендарный Гладиатор Ридли Скотта. Посетить это место можно или в рамках целенаправленной экскурсии или в ходе популярного путешествия в Сахару. P.S. летом в этом амфитеатре периодически дает концерты Венская опера. Концерты ночные, атмосфера потрясающая. Венская опера в Эль Джеме - самое яркое впечатление от поездки в Тунис.

    Super preserved coliseum, amazing feeling inside, compare to Roma you are also allowed to visit underground floor. Be aware of camel handlers, they are cheaters. The price they announce is 1 Dinar, but after taking you for the ride they demanding 2 more, by saying that 1 only for photo and each direction you ride it’s 2 extra plus if you are with a kid they demand extra for kid also . Too aggressive towards customers (foreigners ) once coming to the payment . So keep in mind guys. Also unfortunately could not find the museum as there is only direction near coliseum but after you are lost

    Absolutely worth the trip to see! This place is massive, well-preserved, and simply impressive. You can walk around for an hour or two. Don’t miss the underground area where the gladiators used to wait. Go early in the morning before it gets super hot. They have clean bathrooms, a souvenir shop, and beverage stands inside.

    Amazingly preserved amphitheatre, third largest in the world. The best part is that, unlike the colosseum in Rome, there are is no big number of people around in sight so you'll have a Roman amphitheatre to yourself. A must place to visit when traveling around Tunisia!

  • 5/5 Jaime Martin F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit in Tunisia. The amphitheatre is very well preserved and can be enjoyed at its fullest given into consideration that there are not many tourists present here. You can freely walk around the place. The only con is that there are barely any informative panels explaining the history of the place. The entrance ticket costs 12 dinars (4€) and also allows you to visit the archaeological museum of El Jem (also a must visit).

    I've never been to Rome, so this is a good start as it's the third largest amphitheater in the world. Affordable price. It's a great place to visit if you're on holiday in Tunisia. A taxi from Occidental Marhaba Hotel in Sousse and back cost us 200 dinars. We were 2 adults and a teenager. It was cheaper to get a taxi and explore the cultural site on our own than to book a guided tour.

  • 5/5 Steven W. 4 months ago on Google
    OMG, this is a spectacular site. Big, but not too big. Well cared for (thanks to some US donations), well organized. 12TND entry pp for foreigners. Not crowded (offseason, weekend in November), maybe 50 people, mostly school kids running away from teachers and parents waiting outside. Just like the coliseum in Rome, maybe a bit smaller, but way more accessible, less chaotic and much cheaper. Downside it is VERY HARD to get to unless you have a hired car. IF you have a car, it is easy. The town is tiny. Gratis parking out front (wherever you like and can), google maps easily gets you there (but to the wrong side). Buses can get you there but they are infrequent, crowded, smelly, hot, dirty and generally incomprehensible (like Tunis public transport). But it is certainly worth it. Bring lunch (on nice weather), sit in the sunny side and admire the awesome construction job, the 1000s of stone masons who put this together (every rock has triangular holes, for pincers to clamp and lift). Not much of fancy carved stone, almost all of it is soft limestone (easy to carve graffiti into, as many over the centuries have)...but the enormous size, complex arches on arches is amazing. The vendors and touts are discouraged during offseason, so they mostly leave you alone. Reputation they are predators during peak season though. Usual camels sitting around, 1TND for "photo".
