Visit Kelibia in Tunisia
Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Kelibia in Tunisia, which was destroyed by Scipio. To its misfortune, the fort overlooking the harbor had not yet been built. However, later it was not built in vain. Since in the 16th Century, it protected the city from several Spanish attacks. Today, it has been retired and serves as a lookout tower for tourists. The sunset is beautiful but the ships and the fisherman are also unforgettable.
