Follow the light to the water.
The northern Cape Bon is found between the fortified promontory of Kélibia, the Punic city of Kerkouane and the coast of El Haouaria. The landscape combines open coasts, reliefs and countryside. Archaeology is particularly legible in Kerkouane, abandoned before a Roman reconstruction that would have erased its ancient urban organization.

General presentation
Kelibia and northern Cap Bon
The northern Cape Bon is found between the fortified promontory of Kélibia, the Punic city of Kerkouane and the coast of El Haouaria. The landscape combines open coasts, reliefs and countryside. Archaeology is particularly legible in Kerkouane, abandoned before a Roman reconstruction that would have erased its ancient urban organization.
To understand what Kélibia is and the north of Cape Bon, you must look at Fort de Kélibia, the Punic City of Kerkouane and its necropolis and El Haouaria. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline, heritage, countryside and natural areas and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: enhanced vigilance: editorial qualification of the perimeter chosen after France Diplomacy, consulted on 9 September 2026 and conditions of access to monuments and places of worship to be confirmed. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Fort de Kélibia
The fort occupies a rocky promontory over Kélibia and the Mediterranean. The current citadel is a testament to the transformations of coastal defence; its dominant position explains its importance in controlling this end of Cape Bon.

Heritage
Punic city of Kerkouane and its necropolis
Kerkouane retains the plan of an abandoned Punic City without Roman reconstruction. The streets and domestic spaces thus offer a rare testimony on this urban culture; the property registered with the world heritage also includes its necropolis.

Walk
El Haouaria
El Haouaria is a coastal town in the northern part of Cape Bon, Nabeul Governorate. It serves as a support point to discover this end of the peninsula and complete the heritage path of Kélibia and Kerkouane.

Nature
Nord du cap Bon
Cape Bon designates both a peninsula and its northern tip. In this destination, the term refers to the area of Kélibia in El Haouaria; Hammamet and Nabeul are the subject of a separate area to the south.
