This is a fascinating Punic era city thought to have been abandoned before the Romans arrived.It is a little bit out of the way and there are minimal description signs around the site so you need a guide or a guidebook to understand it all.The planned layout of the town is excellent and the facilities in the houses are brilliant to behold. There is also clearly much more to be uncovered as well.There is a small café/shop/toilets at the entrance.A fascinating place which I would recommend to anyone.

    Nabl, Tunisia's seaside city, the top of Africa, has the Phoenician Gehkual ruins. The 600 Phoenicians before 2,500 built the city here, and were invaded by the Romans in 250 BC, but the Romans did not continue the city construction on the original site, and abandoned this Phoenician view of a sea of tides and a great military base surrounded by mountains on three sides. So it became one of Tunisia's seven world heritage sites after more than 2,000 years. No matter why the Phoenicians chose it, at least the door was open facing the sea and the spring blossoms.
