Sebkha Séjoumi, Protected wetland in Tunis Governorate, Tunisia.
The Sebkha Séjoumi covers 2,979 hectares of shallow saltwater basin that receives water from multiple small wadis near Tunis city.
The area transformed from agricultural suburbs with vineyards and olive trees to an urban region as rural migrants settled around its shores.
Local pastoralists maintain traditional practices by grazing their sheep and goats along the edges of this inland salt flat.
Located at coordinates 36.7645° N and 10.147° E, the wetland remains accessible through Avenue Sidi Zahrouni and Rue El Imam Ibn Arafa.
This northern salt flat retains water throughout the year, hosting over 25,000 flamingos when other similar basins in Tunisia dry up.
