Mustapha Khraïef (1910-1967)

The visual pays homage to the poet Mustapha Khraïef (1910-1967), a significant figure in the Tunisian literary movement of the 20th century, particularly linked to the oasis of Nefta. The stamp presents his portrait in traditional attire (chechia and jebba) with a book entitled “Chouraouq” (Dawns) against a palm grove background, evoking the themes of nature and the earth which permeate his writings. This stamp celebrates the richness of oasis literature and the commitment of a poet who knew how to sing the beauty of the landscapes of southern Tunisia while contributing to the modernization of the Arabic language.
