Bizerte

The classical name of Bizerte, Hippo, is the latinization of a Punic name probably related to the word ûbôn, meaning 'harbor'.

During the Second World War, the German and Italian armies occupied Bizerte until Allied troops defeated them on 7 May 1943.

Bizerte enjoys a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers.

The old port of Bizerte is described as the most charming place in the city, surrounded by white houses, cafes, and large boats in bright colors.

The actor Abdelmajid Lakhal was born in Bizerte.
