La randonnée
A loop from the abandoned hilltop village of Zriba Olia onto the rocky ridge above it, with a full panorama from Jebel Zaghouan to the Gulf of Hammamet.
Zriba Olia is a Berber village founded around the 16th century and built between two rocky peaks of Jebel Zriba at about 300 m. Its people left in the 1960s for the new town in the plain, and the stone houses, the tower and the 17th-century zaouia of Sidi Abdelkader now stand empty over the olive groves. The walk climbs from the village through maquis onto the ridge, where the view turns full circle: Jebel Zaghouan to the west, the coast near Hammamet to the east. The descent follows another line back through the olives. Paths are faint in places and the scrub is thorny, but the whole loop is within reach of most walkers.
