HERE YOU WILL FIND THE BEST INFORMATIONS ABOUT VACATION IN TUNISIA AND ABOUT TUNISIA

Tunisia is a country situated on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. It is the northernmost Afrcan country and the smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range, bordering Algeria, to the west, and Libya to the south east. Around forty percent of the country is composed of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil, and a 1300-km coastline. Both played a prominent role in ancient times, first with the famous Phoenician city of Carthage, and later, as the Africa Province, which became known as the bread basket of the Roman Empire.

Tunisia, a melting-pot of different civilizations, has always had a rich cultural activity, as testified by its prestigious museums and cultural institutions and by the various international festivals held throughout the year.
