For geographic and cultural diversity, Tunisia is a destination without equal. This most northern of African countries, situated almost exactly between the Atlantic and the East Coast of the Mediterranean, has been deeply marked by the area’s rich history: from Phoenicians to Romans to Vandals, Normans, Barbary pirates, Ottomans, Spanish and French, each conquering people has left its legacy in art and culture. Discover the ruins of Carthage, the world’s richest collection of mosaics at the Bardo Museum, the Grand Mosque or the magnificent Bey’s Palace, relic of the Ottoman era.

Outdoors lovers can visit the dunes of the Sahara, the olive-growing Sahil, or the 1,200 thousand kilometres of coast whose resorts offer golf, tennis, diving, surfing and sailing.

Tunisia’s delicious cuisine—couscous with lamb and seafood, local wines, and irresistible honeyed desserts—and hospitable people complete the charm of this rich destination.
