Gabes is an important village of Sud-Tunisia in the Gulf of Gabes. It possesses a very good harbor, which makes an important export of dates, the chief production of the oasis. The oases are the special home of the date palm, of which there are about 4,000,000 in the Algerian deserts alone. In company with this tree, without which life in the Sahara would be practically impossible, are grown apples, peaches, oranges, citrons, grapes, figs, pomegranates, etc.
