Mareth is a historic town in southeastern Tunisia, located in the Gabès Governorate, near the Libyan border. It is famous for the Mareth Defense Line during World War II, which was an important battleground for fierce fighting between Allied and Axis forces. Today, Mares retains military ruins and museums that attract history buffs to explore.
The economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, producing olives, dates and cereals. The population is small, predominantly Berber and Arab, with a strong cultural tradition. The climate is dry and hot, on the edge of the desert, and the natural landscape is predominantly semi-desert. Conveniently connected by road to the main cities of Tunisia, it is one of the gateways for exploring the southern desert region.
Fulari is the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, Shefa Province, located on the west coast of Shefa Island. As the administrative and economic center of the province, Fulari is known for its tranquil seaside scenery and traditional Melanesian culture. Surrounded by lush rainforests and coral reefs, the town is an ideal destination for experiencing natural ecology and diving activities.
The local people rely mainly on agriculture, fishing and small-scale tourism for their livelihoods and maintain a simple village lifestyle. There are a number of traditional villages scattered around Fulaari where visitors can participate in cultural activities such as kava ceremonies, handicrafts and experience Vanuatu's unique "nakamal" (traditional chieftaincy) system of community governance.
Fulari is close to Vanuatu's famous dive sites such as the SSS President Coolidge shipwreck. Land-based attractions include Matwi Volcanic Lake and Lopevi Falls, while serving as a gateway to the volcanic island of Ambrym. The local infrastructure is relatively simple, offering mainly eco-lodges and homestays for those seeking an original travel experience.
