In a festive and joyful atmosphere, with the participation of civil society organisations, educational institutions, kindergartens, school childcare centres and Scout groups, the Tree Day celebrations kicked off on Sunday, 8 November 2026, in the Municipality of El Ain.
The opening ceremony featured the raising of the national flag, accompanied by the Tunisian national anthem.
The programme included interactive workshops for children on making traditional flower bouquets (Mechmoum), as well as a storytelling session led by Yassine Bouali, bringing joy, excitement and interaction to this special day.
El Ain Road… The Road of Jasmine
The jasmine-planting initiative continued along El Ain Road, at kilometre 5.5, next to the small market, as well as at several locations throughout the municipal area, extending to the surroundings of the municipal tax office.
This initiative aims to transform El Ain Road into a true “Road of Jasmine”, a symbol of beauty and the region’s environmental identity.
Trees and ornamental plants were also watered using rainwater collected from the roof of the municipal palace and stored in the traditional underground cistern (Majel). This initiative reflects a commitment to water conservation and the sustainable reuse of natural resources.
Appreciation and Thanks
The Municipality of El Ain extends its sincere thanks to all educational institutions, civil society organisations, the Scout groups (Friendship Group and El Intilaka Group), the Halmet w Gharam group, the El Ain Friends of the Child Association, and all the volunteers who contributed to the success of this environmental event.
Special appreciation goes to the municipal workers and staff of El Ain for their dedication, hard work and valuable contributions to the planting, landscaping, preparation and organisation of this event.
Today, we plant jasmine and preserve water to leave future generations an El Ain that is greener and more beautiful.
El Ain blossoms through its people… El Ain Road, the Road of Jasmine… A story we are all writing together!
