The huge amphitheater is interesting and well preserved! The film Gladiator with Russell Crowe was shot here. If you like historical places, visit them, it will be interesting.
A monumental ancient building. You can walk freely and imagine all the battles that once were in this amphitheater. If you have arrived in Tunisia, then you must visit.
Excellent immersion in the atmosphere of the Roman amphitheater of the III century. The construction is more than epic. Access is allowed both to the upper tiers and to the underground part, where there was a menagerie and gladiators were kept. Combined with the guide's narration, it is especially impressive.
A beautiful place! I was very pleased with the visit. I would like to return sometime and look at the city from the walls of the colosseum. I hope it will work out in the future!
A large amphitheater, on one side the lower tier with seats for spectators is in excellent condition, on the opposite side there is a back wall with passages to the stands, a well-preserved sub-tribune room
It's an amazing sight! One can only imagine how the crowd raged here when gladiators entered the arena...The amphitheater, built in 238, was never completed due to the uprising, and its preservation is no less impressive there. It was designed for 30,000 visitors initially. And today it hosts concerts and musical performances. I saw with my own eyes the poster of the Moscow Virtuosi tour 10 days after our visit. The amphitheater is kept in proper condition, and the places where gladiators used to appear are now equipped dressing rooms for musicians.
The Gordian Amphitheater was built in the image and likeness of the Roman Colosseum by the Proconsul of Africa Gordian in Tisdra (now El Djem, Tunisia) in 232-238 AD.
The amphitheater was used for gladiatorial fights, chariot races, fights of wild animals, reconstruction of hunting scenes.
An impressive structure. Almost two thousand years, dozens of armed conflicts, and the Colosseum is standing! Enter the arena and feel like a gladiator!There are many shops with merchants nearby.
It's beautiful!!! We went to the concert of the symphony orchestra in the Amphitheater of El Jem. The impressions were only positive, although it was terribly stuffy. But it's very dirty around him, there are plastic bottles all around, which sooo spoils the overall picture.
I was there in May 2021, the atmosphere and inspiration of the story is fascinating, I drove on my own, so the pleasure of what I saw was very impressive, the magical acoustics and architecture. I recommend everyone to view this ancient beauty and masterpiece
This amphitheater was built in the image and likeness of the Roman The Colosseum is only better preserved and you can move almost everywhere without restrictions. Most of the filming of the arena in the movie "Gladiator" was filmed here.
Impressive!
The incredible power of ancient architecture. It is very interesting to walk and climb this amphitheater. It is impressive that it was built 2,000 years ago. And it is very well preserved. In my opinion, it is necessary to visit
It is very well preserved, in places there is a restoration (remodeling) of individual elements, in general it looks decent to the wave, with the right campaign there will be a lot of great photos for memory.

We really really liked it. I am glad that you can walk everywhere. Be photographed everywhere. We drove by ourselves, without an excursion. The entrance ticket costs 14 dinars, we got there by taxi for 160 dinars, no one limited the time. If you imagine what happened there a couple thousand years ago, to read the history of this place, it becomes even more interesting.
We stopped at the Amphitheater in Eljem on the way to the Sahara. I really liked it! In principle, a guide is not needed there, in general terms everything is clear and so. Great photos. There is nothing to do in the basement, if you have little time, climb to the very top and take pictures)

A huge colosseum, larger than in Rome and better preserved. Impressive! Music festivals are held here, the acoustics are amazing
I liked the amphitheater. The entrance fee is 10 dinars (240 rubles). It is convenient to get from Sousse by train. It takes 1 hour to drive. The station is 5 minutes from the amphitheater.
We liked it, but a lot depends on the guide. They just brought us to the globe and said 5 words about how the stands used to be located, then left us for an hour. In this case, it was easier to just come by yourself, paying 15 dinars for admission.
A place that allows you to immerse yourself in ancient times and get an idea of how gladiatorial fights, performances with animals and artists took place. I really liked it.
