Sayada (Tunisian Arabic:صيادة) is a city in theSahel region ofTunisia. It is located about fifteen kilometers south ofMonastir. It is part of theadministrative governorate of Monastir, and is the county seat of the Sayada-Lamta-Bou HajarDelegation which has a population of 22,944.[1]
The town is based around a small hill that overlooks theGulf of Monastir [fr] and the two small islands that make up theKuriat archipelago. The built up area extends for over a mile in every direction from the hill but especially towards the flat tidal area.
Sayada is joined in a "delegation" with the smaller communities ofBouhjar andLemta (which historically was known asLeptiminus and is still the site of international archaeology). Sayada itself is within the Monastir Governorate which administers the larger area from the city Monastir which is 12 miles inland.
