Situated 27 km from El Kef and at an altitude of 625 meters, the town enjoys a cool climate, where snowfall can occur in winter.

With a history dating back to the Roman era, approximately 2000 years ago, Dahmani was an important center for olive oil production.

Today, it is also recognized for its railway network, with several trains connecting the town to Tunis and other destinations, facilitating the transport of passengers and goods.

Near the village known today as Medeina, 9 km to the southwest, is the archaeological site of Althiburos an ancient numidian city, and former Roman town hall.

The name "Ebba" is believed to derive from the Berber word for "water source" or "spring," while "Ksour" means "villages" or "fortified towns."

However, in recent years, the town has begun to develop its tourism industry, and many visitors now come to explore its natural beauty and cultural heritage.
