Connections

For the ruins of Dougga you have to take a louage to Teboursouk. It’s recommended to start early in the morning. Because at about 16:00 it seems to get harder to get your transport back to Tunis. By louage it’s about 1,5 hours and after that a taxi needs to be arranged for a return trip from Teboursouk to Dougga. During my visit, the price was 20 Dinars (EUR 6,-). But the effort is worth to consider because the ruins are big, well maintained and a little bit of the tourist trail. During my visit, there were no big touring cars with tourists.
