Tunisia is a north African nation at the northernmost tip of the African continent, a relatively compact country bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the east, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. It is the smallest of the Maghreb nations yet arguably the most geographically diverse, its landscape encompassing the fertile tell region of the north with its forested hills and river valleys, the high steppes and salt lakes of the interior, and the vast Saharan ergs and oases of the south, where the desert stretches away towards the horizon in an ocean of golden dunes. This transition from Mediterranean to Saharan landscapes within a single country gives Tunisia a scenic range that rewards exploration in every direction.
Tunisia's history is one of extraordinary depth and layering, its territory having been home to the Berber civilisations of antiquity, the Phoenician empire of Carthage - one of the great powers of the ancient Mediterranean world - and subsequently a Roman province of enormous importance whose ruins at Dougga, El Jem, and Carthage itself rank among the finest surviving examples of Roman civilisation anywhere in the world. The Arab conquest of the seventh century, the Ottoman period, and the French protectorate of the modern era have each added further strata to a cultural and architectural heritage of remarkable richness and complexity. Explore related settings through our UNESCO Sites, Museums & Monuments and Tourist Attractions collections.
The medinas of Tunis, Sousse, and Kairouan - the latter one of the holiest cities in Islam and home to the Great Mosque, one of the oldest and most important in the world - preserve a labyrinthine urban fabric of souks, mosques, madrasas, and courtyard houses that constitute some of the finest surviving examples of Islamic urban architecture in the Mediterranean world. The Saharan south offers a completely different but equally compelling experience, with the troglodyte villages of Matmata, the ancient ksour of the Tataouine region, and the vast dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental creating a landscape so otherworldly that it served as the filming location for the desert planet Tatooine in the original Star Wars films.

Tunisia holds a special place in the story of the Arab Spring, having been the country where the wave of popular uprisings that swept the Arab world in 2010 and 2011 began, and the only nation where the transition resulted in a sustained democratic experiment - an achievement recognised with the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet in 2015. The country's Mediterranean beaches, Roman ruins, Saharan landscapes, and warm hospitality continue to draw visitors from across Europe and beyond to one of North Africa's most accessible and rewarding destinations.
