"Gabes" Gabes by JLBG

Gabes Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 25 photos

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.

what about seafood, do they make it in the same way as in the European part of Mediterranean?
