Djerid
el-Djerid "Palm Leaf" (Classical Arabic al-Jarīd الجريد, Darija l-Jrīd) is a semidesert region comprising southern Tunisia and adjacent parts of Algeria and Libya. It is characterised by bare pink hills with oases and several chotts (salt pans) (notably Chott el Djerid in Tunisia). Economically the area is important for phosphate mining. Major towns include Gafsa and Tozeur.
