Chebba

Chebba is a coastal town along southern Mediterranean shores in the Mahdia region and features an active harbor. It stretches along the water with modest buildings and maintains close ties to maritime work.

The area was settled by Byzantine forces in the 6th century and later served as important for trade under different rulers. The fortress shows how defensive structures were renewed across generations.

Fishing has shaped community life here for centuries and remains central to how people spend their days. The harbor area shows how traditional practices and contemporary work coexist in daily routines.

The town is reachable by car or bus from other cities and has boat connections to nearby islands. Plan to move at a relaxed pace since facilities are basic, as is typical for small coastal areas.

The harbor entrance is guarded by a fortress whose walls show different construction layers from various periods. These overlapping layers give a visual record of how defensive building techniques evolved over time.
