Located less than 20 kilometers from Tunis, Hammam Lif is a nice little town with beautiful beaches near the capital. Located between Soliman and Tunis, it was already inhabited in Punic antiquity under the name of Naro. The city was renamed Hammet El Jazira after the Arab conquest. It will finally be named Hammam Lif after the word hammam because the springs are numerous, and are known to cure respiratory infections. During the Arab period, the site is little frequented and it is in 1750, with Aïn II Bey, that the sources are developed. One of them took his name and the Aïn el Bey spring was exclusively reserved for his personal use and for his ministers, the popular pools being fed only in case of surplus. Today Hammam Lif has lost some of its charm despite the presence, always pleasant, of the Jebel Bou Kornine in the background. We can stop in front of the Sainte-Marie de Hammam Lif church which had a particular destiny: nationalized in 1964, the church was refurbished to serve as the local headquarters of the ruling party. Its occupants are driven out during the revolution of 2011. The building is then squatted by activists of various committees to protect the revolution.Between Soliman and Tunis, the rocky coast is disciplined ... to the benefit of fields, not beaches, with its olive groves, market gardens, orange groves and other citrus plants and fields of flowers.
