Between the Medina and the Oasis
Unique in its kind, the medina is directly connected to the Gabès oasis. This proximity creates a striking contrast between bustling alleys and the calm of palm groves. Visitors can explore the traditional irrigation system and witness the perfect harmony between nature and culture.
