Kasserine
Tunisia's roof — Mount Chambi (1,544 m), Sbeitla's Roman forum.
Kasserine contains the highest point in Tunisia — Mount Chambi, 1,544 m — and a long stretch of the Tunisian-Algerian border. The landscape is high, dry and pine-covered.
Its archaeological star is Sbeitla (ancient Sufetula), with three Roman temples standing side by side in the forum — an arrangement unique in the empire — and an intact Byzantine basilica.
Kasserine has been historically marginalised, but is increasingly on the radar for hiking and ecotourism in the Chambi National Park.
