El-Haria

El Haria is a location and archaeological site in Tunisia[1] North of Kairouan. The site gives its name to the El Haria Formation, a geological structure of the Paleocene era that covers much of central Tunisia.[2][3] The site is also covered in numerous Roman era ruins and is tentatively identified as the site of an ancient Roman town.
