The Road to Korbous.

The Road to Korbous.

After driving through groves of oak and pine trees and maquis scrubland, the road winds and opens suddenly into a stunning view of the Gulf of Tunis.

korbous is the first town travellers from Tunis (tunisia’s capital) come through on Cap Bon. The settlement is famed for its thermal baths dating back to Roman times.

Korbous exudes a sleepy, almost timeless quality and is well on its way to becoming a hot tip for tourists around the Cap known locally as the Fruit garden or Riviera of Tunisia.

Cap Bon is part mountainous and flat peninsula extends Northwards into the Mediterranian. The Italian island of Sicily is just 140 kilometres away.

Once in Korbous , the smell of mineral-infused water is quite strong – it pours through two small pools and cascades down the rocks and into the sea. The water is heated in underground grottos and comes out almost boiling. Wealthy Tunisians come to bathe in these ancient waters, known for the healing properties.

The temperature was around 40 c and not a cloud in the sky, then suddenly the heavens opened, I have never seen rain like it. The proximity of the Atlas foothills means the weather is always mixed.

Korbous is a most stunningly beautiful and scenic area of Tunisia and well worth a visit. The vivid bright blue of the sea and sky was almost blinding.
