Kroumirie Forest Road
RN17Tabarka to Aïn Draham
The RN17 climbs from the coral coast at Tabarka into the dense cork-oak forests of the Kroumirie Mountains, rising to Aïn Draham at 800 m through hairpins and forested ridges, Tunisia’s greenest road.
Leaving Tabarka’s seaside the road climbs into the Kroumirie range, zig-zagging with sharp hairpins through canopies of cork oak and pine, one of the last great forests of North Africa. Aïn Draham at 800 m is cool in summer and occasionally snow-dusted in winter, one of the few places in Tunisia that sees snowfall.
