General presentation
Tabarka, Aïn Draham et Bulla Regia
This discovery of the northwest passes from the coast of Tabarka to the heights of Ain Draham, to the protected forests of Oued Zen and to the ancient houses of Bulla Regia. The zean oak and the wads provide a precise reading of the Kroumiri. Road movements link these coastal, mountain and archaeological poles.
Tabarka and its fortified rock, Ain Draham and the archaeological site of Bulla Regia give the most telling landmarks of Tabarka, Ain Draham and Bulla Regia. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, forests, mountain reliefs and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 5 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. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.
Strengths and constraints

Before you choose
- Enhanced vigilance: editorial qualification of the perimeter selected after France Diplomatie, consulted on 9 September 2026.
- Conditions of access to monuments and places of worship to be confirmed.
- The selected perimeter: Tabarka, Ain Draham and Bulla Regia, with the National Park d'Aoued Zen as a delimited forest component. Exclude the band less than 5 km from the Algerian border and any Algerian part of Kroumrie.
- The entire massif passes through a non-advised area unless it is imperative. Risk classification applies only to the restricted perimeter; if geometry includes the border band, move at least to high.
Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Walk
Tabarka et son rocher fortifié
The coastal town of Tabarka is dominated by a rock with a Genoese castle. Its maritime history links Mediterranean trade with hinterland resources; this fortified landmark structures the discovery of the coastal landscape.
Walk
Aïn Draham
On the slopes of the Bir djebel, Ain Draham occupies an altitude site in one of the wettest regions of Tunisia. The surrounding relief and woodlands explain its mountain atmosphere, very different from the nearby coastal towns.
Heritage
Site archéologique de Bulla Regia
Near Jendouba, Bulla Regia preserves Roman houses, some of which are below ground level. This architecture was a response to the heat; several mosaics remained in the buildings, while others joined the Bardo.
Nature
Kroumirie : parc national d’Oued Zen
In the Kroumilia d'Ain Draham, Oued Zen National Park protects forests where zean oak is an important part of the park. This 6,700 hectare protected area gives a precise framework for the discovery of the forested landscapes and the wads of the Tunisian North West.
