Ezzahra (Arabic: الزهراء) is a coastal city on the outskirts of Tunis located south of the capital. Ezzahra is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea and the municipalities of Rades, Hammam Lif and Boumhel EL-Bassatine. Administratively attached to the governorate of Ben Arous, it is the seat of a delegation and a municipality of 31,792 inhabitants (in 2014) while the city itself has a population of 6000 inhabitants. The municipality of Ezzahra consists of four cities: Ezzahra, El Habib, 18 January and Borj El-Louzir.
History
The municipality was founded on September 10, 1909, during the colonial period, under the name of Saint-Germain and was subsequently renamed Ezzahra after the independence of Tunisia in honor of national fighter Lazhar Chraïti (1919-1963).
