The file of the troglodytic dwellings and ksours in southern Tunisia was formally offered for inscription as a serial property on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage Tentative List, reported the TAP agency.
the Ministry of Cultural Affairs announced that “Tunisia’s scientific and technical file has been submitted by the ambassador and permanent representative of Tunisia to UNESCO Ghazi Ghrairi.”
The ministry evoked the meeting in November 2019 at the headquarters of the UN organisation in Paris, between Culture Minister Mohamed Zinelabidine and Director of the Heritage Division and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre Mechtild Rössler, during which the two parties prominently had examined the progression state of the candidature files for the inscription of Tunisian sites and properties on the World Heritage List, such as the island of Djerba, the Sharfiya fishing on the Kerkennah Islands and the Sejnene pottery.
The troglodytic dwellings and the Ksours of southern Tunisia are largely found in the regions of Tataouine and Medenine and constitute a thousand-year-old cultural heritage of great historical and civilisational value.
