Монастыр был основан на руинах пунико-римского города Руспина. В городе хорошо сохранился рибат Монастыря, который использовался для наблюдения за морем в поисках вражеских кораблей и для защиты от атак византийского флота. В рибат этого мирного города приезжали для размышлений многие ученые-богословы (улемы). В 1970-х годах рибат также служил одной из съемочных площадок для мини-сериала «Иисус из Назарета» и фильма «Жизнь Брайана» Монти Пайтона. Существуют панорамные виды города, сделанные с французского военно-морского разведывательного дирижабля в 1924 году.
