Centre-left: Sfax and its harbour. Sfax, the second largest city of Tunisia, located 270 km south of the capital Tunis, is a major seaport and exporting centre. Here the ruin of the ancient water well stands side by side with the stiffness of a modern Christmas tree of an oil well that pumps up the wealth to the country.
