context_page_description: Bab Jebli is one of the gates of the medina of Sfax, located in the center of the northern facade of its walls between Bab Nahj El Bey and Bab Jebli Jedid.
  The gate gives access to a popular vegetables market and Sidi Bouchaicha Mosque inside the medina, and to a covered market in its outside.
context_section_description: In his book History of Sfax, Boubaker Abdelkafi suggests that Bab Jebli and Bab Diwan are the oldest and the unique entrances of the medina until the end of the 19th century.
  It was built during the reign of the Aghlabid dynasty that ruled Ifriqiya for the whole 9th century
  According to the commemorative epigraphic plaque on top of the gate, it was restored by the Hafsid sultan Abu Faris Abd al-Aziz II in 1419.
  Later, between 1756 and 1809, the Husainid rulers renovated it again.
