Kneiss

For the German stage actor and singer, see Ludwig Kneiss.

Kneiss (Arabic: أرخبيل الكنائس ) is an archipelago of small Islands in the Gulf of Gabes, located a few kilometers offshore of Tunisia, about 50 km south of Sfax.

They are now nature reserves through a vast expanse of mudflats (14,500 ha) and shallow water. It is an important birding habitat.[1]
