The Museum at El Jem is a must see. The fantasic collection of mosaics were found in the luxurious villas behind the museum. The museum itself is fairly new and thus is light and airy allowing excellent viewing of the beautiful mosaics. This museum was a far more pleasant experience than the dark and over crowded Bardo in Tunis.
