Djebel Zaghouan, Mountain summit in Zaghouan, Tunisia
Standing at 1,295 meters above sea level, Djebel Zaghouan features steep ridges, natural caves, and Mediterranean vegetation covering its slopes.
The mountain housed a Roman water temple that marked the beginning of an extensive aqueduct system supplying water to ancient Carthage over 100 kilometers away.
Local families gather at a mountain temple during weekends to perform traditional ceremonies and share meals while enjoying the natural surroundings.
The ascent requires a permit from Zaghouan Mountain Association and takes approximately six hours round trip through marked trails in the National Park.
Ancient mining shafts remain visible along the mountain paths, creating a network of deep vertical openings that mark past mineral extraction activities.
