Historical overview
The Amiret Hojjej area is one of the ancient historical landmarks in the Tunisian coastal region. Families have settled there for centuries and it is known for its agricultural and commercial activity and strong ties with neighboring coastal cities. Its geographical location has contributed to linking the interior to the coast and enhancing economic and social exchanges.
Over time, the region has experienced significant urban expansion and demographic growth, which has reinforced the need for an independent municipal structure to care for citizens’ affairs.

It includes the following districts: Amiret Hojjej, Amiret El Touazera, and Amiret Beni Ansar.
