Vincent Poon :: El Jem City
 
Originally known as Thysdrus, this former Punic Town quickly became a Roman colony in 3AD and is now a place where over 18,000 people lived. There were not many hotels here but you could easily reach from Sousse within one hour (add 50% to the waiting time and the delay of the public transportation)

We gave up on the train so we decided to take the Louage (shared taxis) back from El Jem to Sousse
This was our louage. The actual journey was quick (faster than train) but the waiting time to depart was long. They had to wait until there was a full-house before starting the engine.
Back at Sousse Louage Station, a much larger and organized place (with tons of louages)
Louages of different made. Japanese Toyota, German VW and French Peuogot... all did not have aircon and the only window that was opened was the driver's.
