Gabes is a large oasis town of southern Tunisia, in front of Djerba island. The palm grove has shrinked because of the extension of the town but nevertheless is worth a visit for those who had never the opportunity to visit a palm grove. If you go deeper in the desert, you will find more interesting one, don't waste your time

How interesting that you collect school warning signs. I guess they are quite self-explanatory, no matter where they come from. Interesting tip regarding the octopus-fishing.
Another interesting tips! Tunisia is in my travel plans also near to my country.
Interesting stuff. Who knew that such wonderful information could be found in such ordinary things. Thanks for sharing, dude.
Likable page of Gabes.
Gabes is indeed a lovely little fishing village.
Hi Jean-Louis, I need to get my scanner going again. I visited before Digital cameras were sold! All the best!
Wonderful page, indeed. Reminds me on my October,s trip to Tunisia.
Very good page. I don't remember this sailboat in your intro picture but I remember very well the fishermen port and gargoullettes (athough, silly me, I didn't know that name :-).
An hotel called "sun" in Tunisia? Oh my, I do prefer one called "sahdow"!!! ;-)
what about seafood, do they make it in the same way as in the European part of Mediterranean?
