Farming in Siliana is a tough gig, with the city located 130 km southwest of Tunis and enduring a cold semi-arid climate that sees just 423 mm of annual rainfall. The town's modern history dates back to 1905, though nearby Zama was the site of a major battle during the Second Punic War. Bureaucracy appears to be a persistent headache here, with the city witnessing clashes between protesters and police over unemployment in 2012. For those seeking a quiet, agricultural life in Tunisia, Siliana may be worth considering, but the harsh climate and potential for unrest are significant drawbacks.
