Municipality in Ariana Governorate, Tunisia
Ettadhamen
Ettadhamen is a municipality and commune in the Ariana Governorate, part of the Greater Tunis metropolitan area.
It was formed in 2016 when the municipality of Ettadhamen-Mnihla was split, with Mnihla becoming a separate entity. The name "Ettadhamen" means "solidarity." The municipality was established in the 1950s to accommodate populations from internal migration. Initially an informal settlement, it was later incorporated into the urban planning of the Tunisian capital's metropolitan area.
