Dougga is on the edge of the Tebersouk Mountains. It is supposedly the most spectacular of the country's Roman ruins. Not so much so when it's pouring rain.

Privacy wasn't a big concern when designing Roman restrooms.

Dougga's theater could seat 3500 people.

Dougga's Capitol was a gift presented to the city in 166 by the Marcius family. It's walls are constructed using the building technique 'opus africanum'

We didn't dwell at the ruins - it was too wet and cold. Oh well, that's what you get for risking a winter visit...
