Sbeitla
Home to one of the best-preserved Roman forums in the world, this ancient city is where the Muslims began their conquest of North Africa.
About
Though the region had long been inhabited by nomadic tribes, Sbeitla wasn’t permanently settled until 67 AD, when Emperor Vespasian founded Sufetula. The city’s prosperous olive industry allowed the Romans to erect some splendid monuments before it was occupied by the Vandals. Sufetula prospered again under the Byzantines up until 647 when the invading Muslims won a decisive victory here, which marked the start of their conquest of North Africa. Today, the Roman ruins of Sufetula are some of the most impressive in North Africa, where you’ll find monumental arches, and luxuriant bath complexes alongside Byzantine-era basilicas, with a bounty of in situ mosaics to admire. Sufetula is almost unique in the Roman world in having separate temples dedicated to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, rather than one large one dedicated to all three. These temples stand alongside the site’s standout monument: one of the world’s best preserved Roman forums.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
