Cape Zebib


Cape Zebib is a headland in northern Tunisia near the town of Metline. The bay between Cape Guardia and Cape Zebib has the sandy Skala Beach; Skala was also an ancient port. Bizerte stands on the lowest part of the coast, which thence gradually rises to the cape. Jebel Kshapta is to the south-west of the cape.
Cape Zebib sits at the eastern extremity of Bizerte Road. Here, there are two cones high. Near the extremity of the cape, there is a small community. Cani Rocks, north/north-eastward from Cape Zebib, consist of two islets scarcely separated, extending 6 cables in a north-easterly and south-westerly direction, with outlying rocks and shoal patches. To the south-eastward of Cape Zebib, the coast is low with some cliffs and small beaches. These are bordered by sandy hillocks, a cultivated plain, and the village of Ras Jebel, eastward of which, the wooded hills extend to Jebel Nadur. Some rocks, covered and uncovered, lie off this coast.
