About Tunisia -- Kebili
Kebili
Kebili (or Qibilī; Arabic: قبلي) is a desert town in central Tunisia. It is located at around 33°42′7″N 8°58′25″E / 33.70194, 8.97361, south of the Chott el-Jerid. It is the capital of the Kebili Governorate.
Kebili or in correct spelling Gibili is one of the oldest Oasis in Tunisia and North Africa. Kebili holds the earliest hard evidence of human habitation in Tunisia (found near the town) and dates back about 200,000 years. Kebili, as many others Tunisian towns, entered under the control of Roman Empire after the Punic Wars.
The main agricultural product in the region is dates, or deglets. Kebili produce a very high quality date, exported around the world and contributing significantly to the local and national economy.
Beginning with national independence, the government of Tunisia has encouraged tourism projects and resorts in the Saharan region. Of these Douz, south of Kebili, is the most famous Saharian destination of Tunisia (known as the Sahara Gate).
