They are located 38 kilometres northwest of Cape Serrat, the closest point of the Tunisian mainland coast, from which they are separated by the Galite Channel, and almost 80 km north-by-northeast of the city of Tabarka, and 150 km south of Cape Spartivento in the south of Sardinia. The islands of the group sit atop Banc de Galite. The Galite Islands are just barely south of Syracuse in Sicily, Italy, meaning the islands are geographically on the continent of Europe, making it the final European territory belonging to a homogeneous Arab population, the second to last is Al-Hambra in modern-day Spain.
