๐น๐ณ Ksour Essef or Ksour Essaf is a town and commune in the Mahdia Governorate, Tunisia, on the coast of the Sahel, about 200ย km south of Tunis.
Ksour Essef is noted as the birthplace of the poet Youssef Rzouga.
Geography Ksour Essef is divided into many suburbs, including El Babouss, El Tafalla, Bab El Ksar and Mallaji city. There are several beaches near the village of Salakta.
History The creation of the city coincided with the arrival of Banu Hilal in 1050. After the destruction of the city of Salakta and the arrival of the Arabs, most of the punic, Greek and Roman inhabitants converted to Islam.
One of the must beautiful pieces in the Bardo National Museum is a bronze cuirass found in a local sepulture, discovered in 1910. It is an import from Italy datable to c.300 BC. The deceased had been buried in a sarcophagus of cypress wood which had traces of the ochre used at the funeral, as did the bones. This coffin is similar to that found at Gigthis with the following dimensions: 84ย cm high, 180ย cm long and 68ย cm wide.
Economy Ksour Essef's economy is based on agriculture, fishing, commerce and emigration. In fact, migrants participate directly in its economic development and invest in it, especially in the construction of houses and the establishment of commerce and industry. In addition, a market occurs on Fridays in the central city.
Further, in this region, part of the population also lives from the product of the olive and has lately benefited from the supply of electricity and water in the zensfine, groups of family houses which have cultivated olives together for many generations.
