Wikipedia description:

Jendouba (Arabic: جندوبة, romanized: Jandūbah, pronounced [ʒænˈduːbæ]; from the Amazigh for 'land of grain'), known as Souk El Arba (سوق الأربعاء, Sūq al-Arbiʿāʾ, 'Wednesday market') until 30 April 1966, is a city in northwestern Tunisia, and the capital of the Jendouba Governorate. It is an important crossroads with many road links to other towns such as El Kef, Tabarka, Ain Draham and Béja. The main economic activity is agriculture. It is close to the famous ancient Roman city of Bulla Regia (or Bullaregia), as well as the ancient marble quarry of Chemtou.
