Al Kaf, Administrative region in northwestern Tunisia.

The governorate stretches across 4,965 square kilometers of Atlas Mountains terrain, featuring valleys and high-altitude settlements near the Algerian border.

The region functioned as a command center for the Front de Liberation Nationale during the Algerian independence movement against French colonial rule in the 1950s.

The region maintains strong connections with Algeria, hosting the second-largest Algerian community in Tunisia with over 6,000 registered voters from the neighboring country.

The governorate consists of twelve municipalities, including El Kef, Nebeur, Touiref, Sakiet Sidi Youssef, and Tajerouine, connected by major roadways throughout northern Tunisia.

Located at 780 meters above sea level, the capital city El Kef stands as the highest elevated urban center in Tunisia, built against the Jebel Dyr mountain.
