Gabès, Tunisian town
Gabès is a port city in southeastern Tunisia located on the Mediterranean coast in Gabès Governorate. The city functions as a regional trade hub and administrative center with characteristics typical of a Mediterranean harbor town.
The city has ancient roots and was known as Tacape during Roman times as an important trading post. It developed over centuries as a key point where goods exchanged between the Mediterranean region and the interior.
