Korbous is a small village in Nabeul Governorate on the western coast of Tunisia's Cap Bon peninsula, set in a deep ravine that opens to the sea, about 35 km in a straight line east of Tunis across the Gulf of Tunis. It has around 3,500 inhabitants and is surrounded by the Korbous forest. It has been known for its hot springs since Roman times: Romans from Carthage came here by boat and called it the hot waters of Carpis, and some of its springs rise at more than 50 °C. Roman remains have been found here, along with an inscription now displayed in the Bardo National Museum. The village is built on the mountainside along what is almost a single street, with white houses and blue windows. In the 19th century Ahmed I Bey built a pavilion that is now the village hammam. Visitors come to bathe in the hot water, and nearby springs include Aïn Kanassira. A scenic coastal road runs from Korbous between red cliffs and blue sea, with small coves and sunsets over the Gulf of Tunis. Walking around is free, the baths are paid, and spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to visit.
