Croisière - Plage - Ellouza - Jebeniana _ رحلة بحرية - شاطئ - اللوزة - جبنيانة
Bien que sa réputation aille en s'étendant, Ellouza reste l'une des dernières plages de Tunisie à être encore dégagée. Cela s'explique autant par sa position relativement excentrée, étant située en retrait des grands axes routiers, que par le fait qu'elle se situe dans une région assez peu peuplée. On y accède par une bretelle qui part de la localité de Jebeniana, sur une distance de 8km (à une cinquantaine de kilomètres au nord de Sfax). Ponctuée par des installations du site antique Acholla, la plage s'étend sur plusieurs kilomètres. La mer et les ruines sont les principaux arguments de cet endroit qui vient de se doter d'une résidence et d'un camping dénommés El kahena qui rendent le séjour ici tout à fait confortable.

Olive in Tunisia:
Tunisia is the most important olive-growing country of the southern Mediterranean region; over 30% of its cultivated land is dedicated to olive growing (1.68 million ha).
Excluding the European Union, it is the major world power in the olive oil sector. It is making great efforts to restructure and modernize its sector as well as to raise olive oil quality and expand acreage.
Olive cultivation plays a vital role in the social and economic life of Tunisia and accounts for nearly 15% of the total value of the final agricultural production.
Olive oil international trade takes up 50% of total agricultural exports and 5.5% of aggregate exports, making it the fifth source of foreign currency earnings for the country.
The olive sector (olive growing plus the olive oil industry) provides a directly and indirectly livelihood for over 1 million people and it generates 34 million workdays a year, equivalent to over 20% of the employment in agriculture. In the year 2000 there were 236 500 agricultural holdings with olive orchards, 84% of which were under 5 ha.
Olive growing also does much to strike a regional balance because it is often the only crop feasible in less-favoured areas. This helps to keep people in rural areas which otherwise would bear the negative brunt of depopulation.
Tunisia's olive resources are estimated at over 65 million olive trees, grown on 1 680 000 ha, of which 75 000 ha are for certified organic crops. It is a source of employment for 269 000 or 57% of the country's farmers and accounts for 45% of the agricultural exports, averaging 120 000 t per year.
At world level Tunisia is ranked fourth in terms of the number of olive trees and second in terms of acreage. Mean orchard density ranges between 100 and 150 trees/ha in irrigated orchards and 40 trees/ha in rain fed orchards farmed for oil production. When intended for table olives, orchard densities vary from 200 trees/ha in irrigated conditions to 100 trees/ha under dry-farming.
As a rule, there are 100 olive trees/ha in the North, compared with 60 trees/ha in the Centre and 20 trees/ha in the South. At present, there are 2 000 ha of super-intensive orchards, which produce an average 7--8 t per ha.
Olives are found in all the regions of Tunisia, from North to South, They are cultivated with other crops such as cereals in the North, citrus fruits and vine in the Cap Bon peninsula, and strictly as a monoculture in the southern areas (Sousse, Mahdia, Sfax, etc.). Close to 90% of cultivated olive acreage is located in the central and southern regions.
