The archaeological site is usually open every day, generally from 08:30 to 17:30 in winter, extending until 19:00 in summer. We recommend arriving in the morning to avoid the hottest hours and ensure entry, as schedules may vary on religious holidays.

Admission is quite affordable, usually around 5 to 8 Tunisian dinars for foreign visitors. Tickets are purchased in cash directly at the ticket office located at the entrance to the archaeological complex.

To explore the bath structures, pools, and architectural remains at a relaxed pace, we suggest allowing between 45 minutes and one hour. If you are passionate about archaeology, you may want to spend 90 minutes to appreciate all the details carefully.
