Mahdia is enfolded between Sousse and Sfax not only concealing its beauty but also its impressive past. It is geographically located 200 Km south of Tunis and 60 Km south-east of Sousse on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. This Tunisian city is well-known for fish processing and weaving industry. Mahdia was founded by the Caliph Abdallah al-Mahdi, a Fatimid ruler in 921 and was made the capital city because of its proximity to the sea. Since the time of the Phoenicians it was also an important military settlement. The city was also invaded by Christians, Normans and Turks. Mahdia was enclosed by 10 metres thick wall which was strong fortress in the ancient times now functions as the gate to the city.
