Gateway to Southern Tunisia

by barryg23 - last update: Aug 6, 2006

An Underrated City

Square near the Roman Pools
Gafsa is one of the largest towns in southern Tunisia and while most travellers pass through here on their way to Tozeur, Douz and beyond, few stop for long to explore.

We visited Gafsa while travelling in the other direction, on our way north towards Kairouan. Initially we planned to stay only for lunch but the more we explored the more we started to like the place. It doesn't seem like there's much to see at first but stick around and you'll be surprised.

 Your information was very useful about open-air of Roman Polls. But I don't where it is located.. The polls is made by which century and also made by whom?? But it was really useful information. Thank you Mr.Barry

 I do like these little provincial towns. Tunisia's still to come for me - Must make it over the border next time I'm in Libya.
