A resort town on the Cap Bon peninsula in northeastern Tunisia, historically known for its whitewashed medina and long sandy beach before large-scale resort development began in the 1960s. The old medina, enclosed within crenellated walls, retains a quiet residential character with jasmine-draped courtyards. The beach stretches for kilometres northward along a gently curving bay with calm, clear Mediterranean water. The town became an early enclave for European artists and intellectuals in the interwar period.
