Beni Otsmane is a village of Tunisia which lies on the Cape Bon peninsula near the village of Sidi Rais and Korbous. Surrounded by the Qorbus Forest, the area has been popular as a health resort since Roman times.[1][2]

The name is derived from the Banī ‘Uthmān Tribe that traditionally have lived in the area.[3]
