This stamp highlights the identity of Hammamet, a city renowned for its gentle way of life, by harmonizing its architectural heritage with its agricultural wealth. The illustration, signed Jalal Ben Abdallah, represents a woman dressed in elegant traditional local costume, sitting under orange trees whose fruits symbolize the prosperity of citrus growing, a pillar of the regional economy. In the background, the silhouette of the sea and the historic citadel underlines the maritime and defensive character of this medieval city which has become a symbol of cultural tourism. Through this work, the Republic promotes a precious balance between the preservation of artisanal know-how and the celebration of a fertile natural setting, anchoring Tunisian identity in the splendor of its coastal landscapes and the sustainability of its ancestral traditions.
