Kebili

Kebili is an oasis in the Nefzaoua region of southern Tunisia, near the eastern edge of Chott el Djerid. Springs and groundwater sustain palm groves in a landscape bounded by the salt depression, the Matmata hills and the Sahara. Date palms shelter gardens and fields, while sand encroaches upon the margins of the oases. Kebili belongs to a chain of settlements that includes Douz farther south.
