Getting up early, in the mist, we drove down off Jugurtha’s Table to head for Tunisia’s highest mountain, but within 5km of leaving, we had our passports and details phoned through twice! Jebel Chambi is Tunisia’s highest mountain at 1544m in its own National Park near Kasserine. After a passport check at the entrance, we were allowed in. The guidebook describes a two hour walk after a drive up a rough 4x4 track. We started driving up a steep metalled road and ended up at 1500m next to some telecom masts. It was a 5 minute walk to the summit!
After driving down and out of the national park, we headed for Sbeitla and a lovely small hotel getting a double room and breakfast for approx. £13 for the two of us. We also met a French caver here, on holiday with his family.
