Amphitheater of Jem

 

When traveling to Tunisia with my family, one of the first destinations we went to was the "Amphitheater of Jem."

Its structure was impressive. It was certainly among the best-preserved ruins I have ever visited. Historically it is said to have held up to 30,000 spectators, which is true and lives up to its immense size. In addition, it was exciting to see the cells that contained the beasts🐯 of the past, as well as the prisons for the people who were condemned to death, who had the opportunity to save themselves if they fought (hence the bloody spectacle). It also had beautiful views, if you climbed to the top you could see the whole town (Jem), and if you stayed to see the bet🌅 alone, I guarantee it had its own charm. My family and I had a great time discovering every nook and cranny of this ancient ruin, taking pictures, reliving the moment of that time and listening to the guide explain all the history behind this immense construction. In conclusion, it was so much fun and beautiful the visit to the Jem, that I would like to repeat. 💕

The archaeological city of Carthage

  For our Last Destination we went to Carthage located on the gulf of Tunisia. The remains of this city hold it's story of Defying the great roman empire and winning a battle against them thanks to Hannibal's courage and tactical mindset. Even thought they didn't achieve victory in the war, his feat of crossing the Alps with an army of elephants is going to be engraved in history for a very long time. I was surely impressed by how well preserved the ruins were, it's as if time had stopped in that place, we could actually see how they lived, worked and how they stored the food . their simple ways of living yet intelligent made me think that they were ahead of their time, they didn't have what we do, they didn't live as comfortably as we do yet i was envious of their achievements.

Ksar Ghilane

 The next stop was made in "Ksar Ghilane." To be more clear, it is a small oasis in the south of Tunisia. From the car you could see the orange sand dunes, extraordinarily thin, stretching for miles and miles. It was impressive when we got out of the car, my sister and I without hesitation played on the sand. Plus, we were able to explore the dunes with a camel, it was beautiful.  When we arrived at our place of stay, we saw the tents. Sometimes we imagine them as something small and uncomfortable, but it was beautiful, an elegant and comfortable place to rest. Not to mention that they had natural hot springs.  It is also worth mentioning that the food was very good, everything they offered us had a unique and tasty flavor.   In conclusion, it was one of the best days of this trip!
