El Jem Travel Tips
El Jem travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • I've seen quite a few spectacular Roman sites, but this one probably tops the lot. The Colosseum is really impressive and unlike the one in Rome it still has the floor! • Russell S.
  • Never been to Italy and seen the Coloseum Then go to El Jem and take a look at theirs. It's immense and in quite a good condition! • Natascha H.
  • El Jem might be very touristic, it still is a good visit. The Roman amfitheatre in the towncentre is the biggest landmark in the region • Allard A.
