Arabic term

الجريد

Arabic to English Other Geography Tunisia
This is from a piece about the area of Tozeur in inland Tunisia.
وهذه السنة سيتم كذلك تنظيم هذه «الايام التجارية» التي سيشارك في فعالياتها زهاء 70 عارضا من مختلف ولايات الجمهورية وقد انطلقت الاستعدادات لتهيئة فضاء المعرض التجاري بعد ان اضحى هذا الاخير مقصدا لاهالي توزر وكافة مناطق الجريد بالاضافة الى الوافدين على توزر من الولايات المجاورة بهدف التسوق منه
I am wondering if this is a place-name, or whether it means "surrounding region", or maybe a geographical term. The only definition I have of "jareed" is "palm branches stripped of their leaves"

Thanks, I found the answer :-) el-Djerid or al-Jarid (Arabic ������, meaning palm leaf) is the medieval name for the semidesert region comprising southern Tunisia and adjacent parts of Algeria and Libya, including several chotts or salt lakes

Keep as is

El-Djerid or Al-Jarid; in the link below you will find that in other countries they have similar product, but the names are kept to refer to the native product created or made.
