The village is featured in the 2005 video game Call of Duty 2, both as a mission in the single-player campaign and as a multiplayer map. The game features the mission "Retaking Lost Ground" (Toujane, Tunisia - March 11, 1943) and the later Battle of the Mareth Line.

Scenes from the film La folle de Toujane (1974, by René Vautier) were filmed in this village.[2]
