The plice are very corrupt and if you get stopped in a car they always ask for money, we were stopped at the end of the Toll road from Beja and we had to pay 50 dinars before they let us go on our journey

This is a large and well excavated site. If you want to walk down a Roman street and see some lovely temples and views, this is the site for you.

We visited here with our tour group. It is a large site with many excellent photo opportunites. It is generally well preserved and not too busy.

Brillant Roman ruines really loved the theatre. Got rushed around by the tour guild and spent most of the day on a coach from Hammermit which we was told we would be on for two hours ended up more like four. Oh and we had to change coaches on the motorway and wasn't told we had to do that either.

Beautifully-preserved Roman town with amphitheatre, Capitol, baths etc and almost no other tourists. We could explore without pressure and take photos with no one in front of us! Worth taking a guide book to explain what you are looking at. Highly-recommended.

Brilliant remains - particularly the theatre and the forum area. In mid april it was relatively quiet. Not much else on site just a small / shop cafe

Get a taxi to bus station (2 Dinar), then local bus from main bus station to town next to Dougga (6 Dinar), you can walk up to the hill in about 1-2 hours or get a taxi. We caught a mini-bus taxi back, same price and quicker as they use the motorway

Have to visit both Dougga and Bulla Regia if you visit Tunisia. Dougga has many public buildings and Bulla Regia has many underground houses (with in site mosaics) so between the two you get a great idea of everyday Roman life.
