Ayn Draham (ʕīn Drāham) is a town in the Jendouba Governorate of North Western Tunisia, located 25 km south of Tabarka and only about 10 km to the Algerian border. At an altitude of 700 m it is situated in the undulating region of the Kroumir mountains.
It is home to about 11,000 inhabitants. Ayn Draham is famous for its sulphurous hot springs that were already used by the Romans.
Originally a French military base, it started to become an inner-Tunisian tourist destination in the 1930s, being known for its unique cold and humid climate and its colonial heritage (especially the red-tile roofs).
It has the highest average rainfall of 1,534 mm per year in Tunisia and is frequently covered with snow in winter. This uniqueness in climate and landscape is reflected in its dense forests of beech, oak trees (including cork oak), and pine trees of which the famous zgūgu is made.
