The Dhahar Mountains, a place of spirituality and religious memory, are home to an authentic and unique project: the Zeitoun Zarazi Circuit. This initiative, launched by the Association for the Maintenance of Ksour and the preservation of the heritage of Béni Khadèche, highlights the culinary and cultural richness of this region in southwestern Tunisia. It offers an immersion into the history of the Dhahar Mountains villages, particularly through the "Zarazi" olive, a central ingredient in local cuisine that symbolizes both tradition and modernity.
A journey to the heart of authenticity
The Zeitoun Zarazi project is more than just a culinary route. It is a true tool for economic development and heritage promotion. Thanks to the collaboration between the association and its partners, thousands of visitors have the opportunity to discover a preserved and charming region while supporting a social and environmental initiative. The project aims to economically integrate women and young people from rural areas by developing their skills and providing visibility for their local products.
Diverse and unique activities
The circuit offers a variety of experiences to share with the village inhabitants. Among the activities available: tastings of Zarazi olive oil, visits to ancient olive groves, and explorations of mountain oases and troglodyte sites, which bear witness to a millennia-old history. Visitors can also stay in guesthouses and homestays, where they will experience authentic hospitality, filled with simplicity and friendliness.
A solidarity-based and inclusive project
More than 40 olive farmers, tourism service providers, and around thirty artisans have been trained as part of this project. They benefit from support for marketing their products and showcasing their traditional expertise. The goal is to strengthen their autonomy while promoting local products, especially the Zarazi olive, which is becoming a key asset for the region’s sustainable development.
The Zeitoun Zarazi Circuit is a perfect opportunity to discover a region rich in human and cultural treasures while supporting local solidarity initiatives. Beyond its heritage dimension, it offers a unique culinary experience centered around a flagship product of the region: the Zarazi olive. This project contributes not only to heritage preservation but also to the empowerment of local populations, making every visit an enriching and responsible experience.
