Dougga

On Sunday we went to Dougga, about an hour and a half west of Tunis. After the Romans conquered North Africa they used the area around Dougga to supply the empire with wheat. Dougga became the administrative center of the wheat exportation system and was in important cog in the Roman empire. What is so fantastic about these ruins is that tourists are allowed free reign to explore the ruins. We can climb on them, crawl in tunnels, etc. I've been to many ruins in my day, I consider these some of the best. The fantastic view of the countryside really couldn't be beat.


Many many more pictures of Dougga here!
