Day trip to Dougga & Testour (Roman and Andalusian Heritage)

This beautiful mosque has a distinctive octagonal minaret and is one of the earliest examples decorated with tiles in Tunisia. The sundial clock on the south face would be standard on any church bell tower in Spain but doesn’t appear on a minaret anywhere else in the world. Testour’s Andalusian heritage is preserved in many small details such as houses covered in beautiful curved ceramic roof tiles similar to those found in many regions of Spain. Habiba M’sika’s house: This famous Jewish singer lived and died tragically at the hands of her lover in Testour. Dougga the best preserved Roman site in Tunisia.
