Audio Guide of the Licinian Baths of Dougga

The Licinian Baths, part of the archaeological site of Dougga, are open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (until 6:00 p.m. in summer). Access is through the main entrance of the site, 110 km from Tunis; a taxi or bus from Tebourba is recommended. Check the official INP website for updates.

Admission to the Dougga site, which includes the Licinian Baths, costs 12 TND for Tunisian adults and 20 TND for foreigners; it is free for children under 12 and students. Buy tickets at the main ticket office. More details are available on the UNESCO Dougga page.

It is recommended to spend at least 1 hour on the Licinian Baths alone, but ideally 2 to 3 hours to explore the entire bath complex at a relaxed pace. Include time for photos and reading the information panels.

Built in the 2nd century AD during the Roman period, these baths take their name from Emperor Licinius and are an outstanding example of Roman bath architecture in Africa. They are part of Dougga's UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlighting the splendor of the Roman province of Africa.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal thanks to the mild weather; avoid summer because of the extreme heat. Visit early in the morning for fewer crowds and better light for photos.

The site has cobbled paths and some stairs, which limits wheelchair access; there are partial ramps in the main areas. Contact the INP at +216 71 862 113 for special assistance.

In Dougga, explore the Roman Theater, the Capitol, and the House of the Private Baths just a few minutes away on foot. 1 km away, the Numidian Mausoleum is not to be missed. Use our Dougga audio guide for a complete route.
