Korbous

Korbous on the Cap Bon Peninsula of Tunisia juts dramatically into the Gulf of Tunis where thermal springs emerge directly from cliffs above the sea, some flowing as waterfalls of steaming mineral water that cascade onto the rocks at the water's edge in a display of geothermal theatre unique among North African spa destinations. The chloride and sodium-rich spring water has been prized since Punic and Roman times when this coastal thermal site served the ancient city of Carthage just across the bay, with Roman-era thermal infrastructure still partially visible beneath the modern spa establishments built into the cliff faces above the azure Gulf. The combination of ancient thermal heritage, dramatic coastal geology, and proximity to the Carthage archaeological sites across the Gulf of Tunis makes Korbous one of Tunisia's most historically resonant and naturally spectacular wellness destinations.
