The appartment is a modern property in a private residential complex in the heart of Yasmine Hammamet, 500 m from its beautiful sandy beach and about 100m away from Carthage Land theme park and Medina of Hammamet (which is a replica of a many Medina around the mediteranean sea). Yasmine Hammamet is the new touristic area south of Hammamet (70 km from Tunis city, 70 km from Sousse and Kairouan) The appartment is a 3-bedroom property. The interior is tastefully furnished. El Djem is famous for its amphitheater, often incorrectly called a Colosseum (roughly translated from Latin as that thing by the Colossus), which is capable of seating 35,000 spectators. Only the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome (about 50,000 spectators) and the ruined theatre of Capua are larger. The amphitheatre at El Djem was built by the Romans under proconsul Gordian, who was acclaimed Emperor at Thysdrus, around 238 and was probably[citation needed] mainly used for gladiator shows and chariot races (like in Ben-Hur). Many tourists come here to see what it was like to be inside what was once a place where lions and people met their fate. Much of it is crumbled but the essence of it still remains. It is also possible that construction of the amphitheatre was never finished.
