Audio Guide of Roman Baths

The site is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays. It is about 20 km from Kairouan; take the P1 road south and follow the signs, or use a taxi from Kairouan (around 20 TND). Check the Tunisia Tourism portal for updates.

Admission is free for all visitors, although there may be a small maintenance fee of 2-3 TND. No advance reservations are required, but bring cash as there are not always ATMs nearby.

It is recommended to allow 45 minutes to 1 hour to explore the baths and read the information panels. If you go with a guide, you can extend it to 1.5 hours for more details.

These baths date from the 2nd-3rd century AD, built during the Roman period in the province of Africa, and stand out for well-preserved architectural features such as the hypocaust and pools. They represent the Roman bathing lifestyle in inland Tunisia and its cultural influence in the region.

Spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) are ideal because of the mild weather; avoid summer because of the extreme heat. Go early in the morning for less heat and better light for photos.

Access is limited due to uneven terrain and stairs in the ruins; there are no ramps or specific facilities. It is recommended for people with good mobility; contact the Tunisian Ministry of Culture at +216 71 570 000 for more information.

Twenty kilometers away is Kairouan, with the Great Mosque and UNESCO-listed medina. Also visit the ruins of Sbeitla (1 hour by car) for more impressive Roman baths. Use Google Maps for routes.

Bring water, a hat, and sunscreen, as there are no services on site; wear comfortable shoes for the rocky terrain. Download an IAudioguía audio guide to enrich the experience with historical narration.
