Gabès Governorate (Tunisian Arabic: ولاية ڨابس Wilāyat Gābis; French: Gouvernorat de Gabès) is one of the 24 governorates of Tunisia and in south-eastern Tunisia. It covers an area of 7166 km2[1] and had a population of 374,300 as at the 2014 census.[2][3] The capital is Gabès.

Geography

The governorate of Gabès is in southeast Tunisia on the coast of the Gulf of Gabès, 376 km south of the capital, Tunis.

Gabès has a hot Mediterranean climate. Gabès offers five contrasting landscapes: the beach, the mountains, the desert, small forest, oasis. It contains the eastern end of Chott el Fejej.

The coast is approximately half of that of the large bay. The gulf has several alternative names dating to antiquity and to an etymological association with onshore winds and sandbanks making navigation difficult, including Lesser Syrtis (see Gulf of Sidra which takes in also the mainly Libyan portion of the continental gulf).

Administrative divisions

Administratively, the governorate is divided into ten delegations (mutamadiyat), ten municipalities, nine rural councils, and 73 sectors (imadas).[1] The delegations and their populations from the 2004 and 2014 censuses,[2] are listed below:

Tourism

Matmata is a Berber-speaking town largely of underground homes conserved with a community-based pre-industrialized lifestyle. The south-centre of the Wilāyat has semi-desert mountains and natural features nearby include splendid oases and caves. Eclectic souqs feature in the main municipalities, with traditional wood, stone, metal and textile products.

Economy

The economy of the governorate is based, like all governorates that open onto the Mediterranean, on agriculture and fishing. The governorate is one of the richest fishing areas in Tunisia.

In the industrial field , the governorate is home to a center concentrating in particular chemical industries (processing of phosphate with the production of phosphoric acid , diammonium phosphateand dicalcium phosphate ) and agri-food . Its trade is carried out in particular thanks to the port which has eleven quays and twenty berths. In 2000, its traffic was estimated at 4,000,000 tonnes. Manufacturing industries employed 41.5% of the active population, the tertiary sector 35.5% and the agricultural sector 23%.

There are three industrial zones: Gabès, Métouia-El Aouinet and El Hamma.
