Tunisia is on my short list. In addition to a lot of Roman ruins, it has been used in movie locations. eg Tatooine in Star Wars. https://www.smithsonianmag.com

  In addition to Roman ruins, one of the best museums I've been to - the Bardo, with lots of roman mosaics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardo_National_Museum_(Tunis) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardo_National_Museum_(Tunis)

  I've been to Tunisia several times since 2021. If you like Roman ruins, here's my favorite sites that I've personally visited: - Amphitheatre of El Jem - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitheatre_of_El_Jem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitheatre_of_El_Jem - Dougga - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dougga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dougga - Bulla Regia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulla_Regia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulla_Regia While itself not an amazing Roman building, I also enjoyed going to Ksar Ghilane - https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ru5sEqEtJDEWNg3R7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ru5sEqEtJDEWNg3R7. There's a small touristic oasis where you ran rent a quad bike, zip over some dunes in the Sahara, and then stop at the small Roman fort. It's fun to imagine being a Roman stationed at one of the southern most outposts of the empire. It's also fun to rent a 4x4 w/ driver and drive through the desert from Douz to Ksar Ghilane.
