Jebel Chitana-Cape Negro National Park

Jebel Chitana-Cape Negro is a national park along Tunisia's northern coast, stretching between Cap Serrat and the Sidi el Barrak Dam. The area combines coastal landscapes with wetlands and peat bogs that support diverse plant and animal life.

The park was established as a protected area in 2010 through official decree to preserve the region's natural ecosystems. This founding marked an important step in protecting the coastal and wetland areas of northern Tunisia.

Local families practice traditional farming and beekeeping within the park, shaping the daily rhythm of the region. These methods reflect how people here have worked with the land for generations and continue to do so today.

Visitors can engage in hands-on activities such as honey extraction and vegetable harvesting while participating in environmental education programs. These practical experiences help you learn about how the local community works with the land.

The park is home to rare species like the white water lily and Barbary deer that are difficult to find elsewhere. The peat bog of Mejen Ech Chitan is a special ecosystem that protects these animals and plants.
