Jebel Oust is a celebrated thermal spa site near Tunis in Tunisia, where chloride- and sodium-rich thermal water at around 55°C emerges from the foot of the Jebel Oust limestone massif and has been used since antiquity — a Roman bath complex and several mosaic floors have been excavated at the site. Today the thermal complex has been developed into a modern wellness resort offering balneotherapy, thalassotherapy, and spa treatments, drawing on water that has been valued within a long thermal tradition for over two millennia. The site's layered Roman and modern heritage near the Tunisian capital makes it an exceptional destination combining archaeology and wellness.
