Métlaoui (aeb|متلوي ) is a town and commune in the Gafsa Governorate, Tunisia. In 2014 it had a population of 39,100.[1]
Métlaoui is an important railway hub of southern Tunisia, as it lies near the Sousse-Tozeur line. The branch to Redeyef (with interconnection to Kasserine) splits nearby. This line is famous because is runs through scenic selja gorges.
Until the 2011 Jasmine Revolution, Métlaoui was home to a Natural History Museum filled with fossil specimens discovered during mining operations. In 2019, the fossil remains were re-excavated from the ruins and sent to the University of Gafsa for storage.[2]
