Zaghouan Governorate

Zaghouan Governorate is an administrative region in northeastern Tunisia with mountainous terrain and plains suited for farming and olive cultivation. The landscape shifts between elevated ridge lines and flatter agricultural areas that define the regional character.

The region received its administrative status in November 1976 as part of Tunisia's reorganization following independence. This restructuring established a new governance framework for local administration.

People here celebrate their agricultural roots through village gatherings featuring traditional music and local crafts on display. These events show how deeply daily life remains connected to farming and harvest traditions.

The area has an established road and railway network providing regular connections to major Tunisian cities. This infrastructure makes it fairly easy for visitors to explore the region and connect to neighboring areas.

Ancient Roman aqueducts cross the landscape as reminders of the sophisticated water systems Romans once built across North Africa. These structures reveal how engineering shaped the region's development across many centuries.
