Chebika oasis, Mountain oasis in western Tunisia.
Fresh water springs emerge from rocky cliffs, flowing down into a series of cascading pools that nourish extensive groves of date palms.
The site operated as a Roman military outpost named Ad Speculum from 30 BC to 640 AD, positioned strategically along the route between Tébessa and Gafsa.
Local farmers maintain traditional date cultivation methods in the oasis, continuing agricultural practices that span multiple generations in this desert environment.
The oasis requires a 40-minute hike to reach the waterfall, with guided tours available from the nearby city of Tozeur throughout the year.
The original village suffered complete destruction during the 1969 floods, leading to the construction of a new settlement with a precise grid layout.
