Thermes de Hammam Bourguiba

Thermes de Hammam Bourguiba are among Tunisia's most dramatically situated natural thermal springs, located at Korbous on the rocky Cap Bon peninsula in the Nabeul Governorate, where thermal waters emerge at the extraordinary temperature of 60 degrees Celsius directly from cliff faces plunging into the Mediterranean Sea, creating a striking spectacle of steaming hot water cascading down the coastal rocks into the azure gulf in one of the most visually arresting thermal spring settings in the entire Mediterranean world. The springs at Korbous have been exploited since Carthaginian and Roman times under the ancient name Aquae Calidae Carpitanae, and these chloride-rich waters have drawn visitors to this isolated cape for over two millennia of continuous use within a long thermal tradition. Named in honor of Tunisia's founding president Habib Bourguiba, the thermal establishment here combines the ancient bathing tradition of the Cap Bon springs with modern balneotherapy facilities in a dramatically beautiful coastal setting that makes Korbous one of the most memorable and historically resonant thermal destinations in North Africa.
