About Tunis
Tunis faces the Mediterranean in Tunisia, where the Medina’s souks, Zitouna Mosque and nearby Carthage anchor a city shaped by North African history and culture.
Whitewashed streets, shaded courtyards and the scent of spice give Tunis a distinctly Mediterranean feel, while Sidi Bou Said adds blue-and-white façades above the coast. The Medina centers on Zitouna Mosque, and the Bardo National Museum holds an extensive collection of Roman mosaics.
Ancient Carthage and Byrsa Hill extend the historical landscape, with couscous, brik and lablabi on local menus. La Marsa offers a coastal base, and Arabic and French shape daily conversation.
