Cap Bon, Mediterranean peninsula in Nabeul Governorate, Tunisia.

The peninsula extends 80 kilometers into the Mediterranean Sea, forming a natural barrier between the Gulf of Tunis and Gulf of Hammamet.

During World War II in 1943, the peninsula became a surrender point for 250,000 German and Italian troops to Allied forces.

The towns of Cap Bon maintain traditions through pottery making, with Nabeul recognized as a center for ceramics production and artisanal crafts.

The Mediterranean climate and fertile soil support extensive agricultural production, particularly citrus fruits, olives, and vegetables throughout the year.

The ruins of Kerkouane, a Punic city from the 6th century BCE, preserve the only known remaining layout of a Phoenician settlement.
