Kébili

Kébili is an administrative region in southwestern Tunisia that stretches from the Algerian border toward expansive salt plains. The landscape is dominated by desert terrain where flat expanses and dried salt lakes define the terrain.

Archaeological finds show that the region has been inhabited for at least 200,000 years. This makes it one of the oldest continuously occupied areas in North Africa.

The people of Kébili come from different backgrounds whose traditions shape daily life in the region. You can see their customs reflected in how communities interact and celebrate together.

The region is accessible through several smaller administrative divisions that each cover different parts of the area. Visitors should plan to travel between these sections to explore the different landscapes and settlements.

The region contains Tunisia's largest salt pan where extreme heat has reached 55 degrees Celsius. This location ranks among the hottest places in North Africa and shapes the climate of the entire area.
