In pursuit of better health, Tunisians are visiting thermal, mineral and seawater spas and adding pricey bottled water to their family budgets. And with no limit to the natural resource, entrepreneurs see boundless opportunity.

Thousands of domestic and foreign visitors to the health resorts of Qrbes, Bourguiba, Jebel Oust and Beni M'tir believe that the restorative powers of the water heal illnesses ranging from insomnia to allergies. All treatments use local water and herbs from nearby mountains and forests.

Investor Fayez Rouissi, who is building a health resort on the giant reservoir near Beni M'tir, is determined to use local resources.
