Boukornine National Park, established in 1987, covers 1,939 hectares in northern Tunisia, located just 15 kilometers from Tunis and near the town of Hammam-Lif. This park is a sanctuary for diverse flora and fauna, including rare species like the Persian cyclamen and the Etruscan shrew, one of the smallest known mammals in the world. It also provides a habitat for the mountain gazelle. The park's proximity to the capital makes it a notable destination for those interested in exploring Tunisia's natural heritage and wildlife.

Nature, greenery, very beautiful landscape, on foot or by bike, you will remember this Park for a long time which is fitted out with pedestrian/bike paths, once on the heights, a great view of the Gulf of Tunis therefore a marriage with the two colors green and blue, It's just beautiful.

Amazing views. Great for a 2-3 hour hike. It's clean compared to other outdoor spaces and parks.

An incredibly beautiful park that unfortunately is not maintained at all by the government. The amount of plastic, broken glass and other garbage everywhere breaks your heart not only for the park but the environment of Tunisia. It is so sad that the government allows this hazard to the local ecosystem.

The national park is the most bizarre we've ever been to. When we entered the gate, there was no one there and the side gate was open. When we were about 100m in, a car and a motorcycle were coming towards the exit. Then about another 100m later, the motorcycle guy came back toward us and said the park is not open to visitors except someone with police permit. He nicely apologized to us and we walked to the exit. Just about 100m outside the gate, we saw an elder couple approaching the park, so we informed them, with broken English, French and gestures, that the park was not open. But they confidently replied that it is open as normal and asked us to follow them to the gate. They talked to the guard in Arabic, and then the guard agreed that we go in with them. Later on we realized that we had to stay close with the couple at all times. The couple were very nice, picked some fragrant flowers and herbes for us and showed us interesting things in the park. But they didn't want to go too far, let alone climbing the hills. So we came out in an hour's time.
