El Kef is rarely on the list of tours organised for international visitors who flock to Tunisia every year to enjoy sunny beaches and local culture.

Key Points: 
  • El Kef is rarely on the list of tours organised for international visitors who flock to Tunisia every year to enjoy sunny beaches and local culture.
  • Tunisia has not recognised the value of El Kef’s historical and cultural diversity, nor promoted the region as an international heritage asset.

The city

  • It has its origins as an ancient Numidian city before it became Roman and Byzantine colonies, beginning in 241BC.
  • The city was home to renowned Sufi saint Sidi Bou Makhlouf.
  • Serving as a hub for Tunisian theatrical arts, the city cultivates a blend of tangible and intangible heritage.

The Plateau of Jugurtha

  • The Plateau of Jugurtha (Jugurta), 70km south of El Kef, is an important natural heritage site, covering 80 hectares and at an altitude of 1,200 metres.
  • It is a mesa (flat-topped mountain) that has been linked to many legends.
  • The mountain is said to have stopped the Romans in their long war with King Jugurta of Numidia.
  • The Kingdom of Numidia emerged around the 3rd century BC in modern-day Algeria and parts of Tunisia and Libya.

Jerissa

  • The town of Jerissa is to be found 50km south of El Kef.
  • Jerissa was once known as Petit Paris (Little Paris), a name favoured by the French colonials.
  • Today Jerissa is all but forgotten despite its rich history.

What should be done

  • An official development plan for the sites described here – and many more besides – is much needed.
  • Protecting the diverse and rich heritage of El Kef would boost the cultural, economic, social and environmental qualities of the region.
