[1] Toukabeur is in the Medjerda River valley, and 2 km west of Chaouach (Suas) and 7 kilometers northwest of Majaz al Bab,[2](Membressa).
The town appears to have taken its name from the pre-Roman Berber tombs, located at Chaouach 1 kilometer higher up the hillside.
During the Tunisian Campaign of World War II the British Army 11th infantry Brigade took the town[7][8] April 1943.
Known bishops include: Today the springs that first attracted the Romans still feed the village and water the orchards still in their antique.
All round the ruins of the Roman town lie scattered half buried in the soil among the orchards on the slopes down to the foot of the locality.
