Thuburbo Majus via Roman Aqueduct - Zaghouan

We'll pick you up from your location in Tunis and start our trip in Carthage at the biggest excavated Water Cisterns in the world, it will follow the water itinerary via The Aqueduct, pass by Tuburbo Majus, an ancient large Roman site to reach the Temple of Water at the Mount of Zaghouan. Tracing the world's longest Aqueduct, you'll explore the unbelievable architectural genuine of the Romans and the work required to connect Carthage with a mineral water source located 80 km from the city and guarantee a regular flow of water for 300 000 inhabitants. You'll have a chance to do a Kaak pastry tasting, traditional bite-size pastries often served at special occasions. They’re slightly crunchy on the outside, and soft and buttery in the middle with a sweet almond flavor, and an aromatic hint of rose water. The story goes that when Andalusians were forced out of southern Spain in the 17th century, they baked their precious jewels in simple looking dough to hide them from thieves.
