MAKTAR

 Museum with mosaics

The museum of Maktar holds a nice collection of artifacts showing the shift from Numidian to Punic to Roman culture at this place. The Numidian sections contains mainly gravestones dedicated to the god Baal Hammom. Personally, I found the mosaics most fascinating. Some of them are in excellent condition.

Practicalities

HOTELS AND ALTERNATIVES

There is one terrible hotel in town. While it is fairly cheap, you are strongly recommended to spend your night in the hotel in Siliana instead.

RESTAURANTS AND ALTERNATIVES

Basic restaurants in town, normally limited to serving chicken with extras. The food is OK, the setting not ideal for romance, and the prices a bit above what they should be.

NIGHTLIFE

Nothing.

CHANGE MONEY

A few banks in town centre, that will change foreign currencies and give cash if you bring your VISA or MasterCard.

TRANSPORT

There are OK connections with important destinations like Kairouan, Le Kef, Siliana and Sbeïtla. Choose between buses and more frequent shared taxis.
