A Memorable Day: October 15th, Evacuation Day in Sfax | Hotel Borj Dhiafa:
October 15th: A Date Engraved in the Heart of Tunisia:
Every year on October 15th, Tunisia celebrates Evacuation Day, a symbol of freedom, unity, and regained sovereignty.
In Sfax, at the heart of the prestigious Hotel Borj Dhiafa, we honor this historic milestone that marked the end of a long struggle and the dawn of a proud, independent nation.
The Deep Significance of Evacuation Day:
Tunisia officially gained its independence in 1956, but true sovereignty was only achieved on October 15th, 1963, when the last foreign troops left the naval base of Bizerte.
This moment represented far more than a military withdrawal — it embodied the spirit of resilience, the pride of a free people, and the birth of a modern Tunisian identity.
On that historic day, Tunisia embraced three timeless legacies:
-
Completion of Sovereignty: the affirmation of total control over its national territory.
-
Heritage of Resistance: a tribute to the martyrs and heroes who paved the road to independence.
-
The Dawn of a New Era: the beginning of a modern, autonomous, and ambitious Tunisia.
Sfax and the Spirit of National Pride:
Sfax — a city rich in history and a key pillar of southern Tunisia’s economy — has always embodied strength, dignity, and patriotism. Its ancient walls, vibrant culture, and enduring traditions reflect a legacy deeply rooted in the Tunisian soul.
At Hotel Borj Dhiafa, a luxury 5-star hotel in Sfax, we carry that same spirit through our exceptional hospitality and commitment to excellence.
A stay with us is more than just accommodation — it is an encounter between Tunisian heritage and contemporary luxury, where authenticity and refinement meet to create a unique experience.
Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future:
Today, the flame of patriotism continues to shine brightly across Tunisia.
In every celebration, every smile, and every success story, it reminds us of our pride in a land built on courage, creativity, and unity.
At Hotel Borj Dhiafa Sfax Tunisia, we celebrate that passion daily — by welcoming our guests with warmth, elegance, and a touch of Tunisian artistry.
Our mission is to offer an experience that mirrors the nation itself: timeless, proud, and beautifully authentic.
Happy Evacuation Day to All!
