This stamp illustrates the landscapes of El Haouaria, the tip of Cap Bon renowned for its green nature and its steep cliffs overlooking the sea. The illustration highlights the jagged relief of this region, famous for its ancient Roman quarries and as a major crossing point for migratory birds. The message promotes the harmony between land and sea in this protected area, recalling that Tunisian heritage also resides in its coastal ecosystems and its ancestral traditions linked to falconry and respect for the wild environment.
