Kalâat el-Andalous means "citadel of the Andalusians' and this refers to the seventeenth century when Moors driven out of al-Andalus settled in the fertile Medjerda River valley.
The dominant activity is the agriculture, which benefits from the proximity of only river perennial Tunisia.
The city is split with a village coast which hosts a port of fishing. The proximity of the city Tunis constitutes a northern boundary and the beauty of a coastal strip of sand make it one of the future tourist areas of the capital.
