Tunisia / Madaniyin / Jarbah Midun /
 Roman Empire, bridge, road bridge
The island is connected to the south side of the mainland by a bridge 7 kilometers long and 10 meters wide. This dates back to Roman times or even the Punic era. The bridge is subsequently submerged by the sea and then cut to 1551, during conflicts between Dragut and Spaniards, before finally being rebuilt in the Second World War. This route also designed to route water there, the island has the particularity of not having source of freshwater. Indeed, a pipeline crosses the bridge and supplies power to the island without which tourism is unthinkable (80% of the water is for tourists against only 20% for residents).
