Nabeul: Founded in the sixth century as a Carthage-affiliated town, the historic Tunisian city of Kerkuane is still able to keep its original features intact as the most ancient witness to the Punic Age. Located in Nabeul Province in northeastern Tunisia on the Mediterranean Sea, Kerkuane stands as the only example of a Phoenicio-Punic city to have survived, unlike several other Tunisian towns.
According to Kuwait News Agency, excavations reveal that this Phoenician city was vibrant and inhabited by fishermen, merchants, and craftsmen, thanks to its attractive sea location and fertile agricultural land. The city's historical significance and intact preservation led to its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
