Follow the story of Roman water from the Zaghouan mountains to Carthage's cisterns and baths, then explore the ruins of Oudhna on a private tour.

Highlights

  • See the Zaghouan Roman Aqueduct, source of the water supply to ancient Carthage
  • Explore the enormous La Malga Cisterns in Carthage
  • Visit the monumental Antonine Baths, one of North Africa's largest Roman bath complexes
  • Discover Oudhna's amphitheatre, Capitol, villas and underground structures
  • Follow the full story of Roman water, from source to city
This private tour follows one story: how the Romans brought water to Carthage. We begin at the source of the system, the Zaghouan Roman Aqueduct, which carried water from the Zaghouan mountains to the ancient city. From there we move on to Carthage, where you'll explore the enormous La Malga Cisterns, built to store and distribute that water, and the monumental remains of the Antonine Baths, one of the largest Roman bath complexes in North Africa. We also visit Oudhna (Uthina), a Roman archaeological site with an amphitheatre, a Capitol, villas and underground structures, and stop for photographs of the aqueduct's spectacular arches. The whole Zaghouan–Carthage hydraulic system ran for roughly 132 km, and you'll see how its different parts fit together.
