Economy
Nabeul's modern economy is based primarily on tourism. The most famous hotels are mainly located at the seaside. The most known tourist resorts in Nabeul include the Roman archaeological site of Neapolis (positioned 2 kilometres away from downtown), the archaeological museum which offers ceramic and
Handicraft
Nabeul also is known in Tunisia and abroad for its handicraft that consists of artistic potteries,[14] especially painted dishes[15] as well as for wall tiles.[16]
This craftwork was restarted during the first half of the twentieth century through the research of the French Tessier, Deverclos and the Tunisian Jacob Chemla.
Agriculture
Nabeul's agriculture relies on oranges, lemons, and the bitter orange also known in French as Bigardier.[16] People of Nabeul also distill flowers of bitter orange, Bourbon geranium, and Damask rose. They sell it mainly in the local souks and export the rest to the world.
Gastronomy
Nabeul has been famous for its Harissa since the Andalusians arrived in Tunisia in the sixteenth century.[17] They brought pepper and stored loads of it throughout the year. This activity called "El Oula" consists of preserving food ingredients all along the season and making it last longer in order to be consumed on a day-to-day basis. Many women in Nabeul are still committed to storing "El Oula" every year.
