Tunisia

Tunisia sits at the northern tip of Africa, where the Mediterranean coast gives way to olive-covered hills, Roman ruins, and eventually the vast silence of the Sahara. It is a compact country whose geography and history compress an unlikely range of landscapes and influences into a short distance. The smell of jasmine and harissa, the blue-and-white palette of coastal towns, and the call to prayer echoing across medina alleys define the texture of everyday life.

About Tunisia

Overview

Bordered by Algeria to the west and Libya to the east, Tunisia faces the Mediterranean to the north and northeast. The capital, Tunis, is home to one of the Arab world's best-preserved medinas. Arabic is the official language, with French widely used in business and education. The currency is the Tunisian dinar. Culturally, the country blends Berber, Arab, Ottoman, and French influences into a distinct North African identity.
