Tunis (Arabic: تونس Tūnis) is both the capital and the largest city of Tunisia. The greater metropolitan area of Tunis, often referred to as Grand Tunis, holds some 2,700,000 inhabitants.
Situated on a large Mediterranean Sea gulf (the Gulf of Tunis), behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette (Ḥalq il-Wād), the city extends along the coastal plain and the hills that surround it. At its core lies its antic medina, a world heritage site. Beyond this district lie the suburbs of Carthage, La Marsa, and Sidi Bou Said.
Just through the Sea Gate (also known as the Bab el Bahr and the Porte de France) begins the modern city, or Ville Nouvelle, transversed by the grand Avenue Habib Bourguiba (often referred to by popular press and travel guides as "the Tunisian Champs-Élysées"), where the colonial-era buildings provide a clear contrast to smaller, older structures. As the capital city of the country, Tunis is the focus of Tunisian political and administrative life; it is also the centre of the country's commercial activity. The expansion of the Tunisian economy in recent decades is reflected in the booming development of the outer city where one can see clearly the social challenges brought about by rapid modernization in Tunisia.
A World Heritage Site is a place (such as a building, city, complex, desert, forest, island, lake, monument, or mountain) that is listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as being of special cultural or physical significance.The list is maintained by the international World Heritage Programme administered by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, composed of 21 UNESCO member states which are elected by the General Assembly.
The programme catalogues, names, and conserves sites of outstanding cultural or natural importance to the common heritage of humanity. Under certain conditions, listed sites can obtain funds from the World Heritage Fund. The program was founded with the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World's Cultural and Natural Heritage, which was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO on 16 November 1972. Since then, 191 states parties have ratified the Convention, making it one of the most adhered to international instruments. Only Liechtenstein, Nauru, Somalia, South Sudan, Timor-Leste, and Tuvalu are not Parties to the Convention.
I fly into the Tunisian capital too see the sights, including the Kasbah, the Great Mosque and a few other things. Then I manage to find a place that serves local Tunisian beer.
In this episode, walk through the Medina of Tunis (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and discover several palaces (Dar El Jeld, Dar Lasram...), tunisian handicraft that combines tradition and modernity, and savour local gastronomy. In Sidi Bou Saïd, share a delicious tea with pine nuts and a breathtaking view. Meet tunisian YouTubers and Instagramers, then take golf lessons with Lilia, a professional golfer.

Look at 22m04s... It's FORBIDDEN to take pictures of Interior Minister :-( Why? Nice City, Friendly People, Nice Avenue, but... take care about secret police ;-) Regardez à 22m04s ... Il est INTERDIT de prendre des photos du ministère de l'intérieur :-( Pourquoi? Magnifique ville, Tunisiens chaleureux, Superbe Avenue Bourguiba, mais faites attention à la police secrete ;-)

EPISODE #06 - Ma première journée en Tunisie en tant que "touriste". Malgré le temps froid et la pluie, je vais manger un kebab et je visite la medina et le souk de Tunis. Un homme m'accueil dans sa boutique de parfum et explique comment faire du parfum. CONSEIL DU PRO: Si tu est un sex machine, il faut acheter le "Fleur d'Amour"... En visitant la ville, je réalise que les gens me regarde bizarrement; comme un étranger, comme un touriste. Et c'est normal. Je crois. Mon manteau vert ne doit surement pas aider... Je finis la journée en allant acheter un manteau plus chaud et plus sobre. Cliquez J’AIME et laissez un commentaire ou posez-moi une question!

0:00 - Tunis - Zitouna Mosque 0:44 - Tunis - I stroll in the Medina, a Unesco World Heritage site.
Travel video about destination Tunisia. Tunis is a North African city with a long history. After the Hasfides and Osmans, the Spanish Moors came but then had to give way to French colonial rule until present day Independence. In the old town, there are more than 700 historic monuments which include 200 palaces, a colourful variety of buildings and numerous mosques.Among shoreline lava rock is the entrance to the Ghar El-Kebir, a collection of sandstone grottos. During Roman times, thousands of slaves were forced to bring building material for Carthage and El Djem from subterranean shafts. In Sousse, the simple fort of Ribat is probably the oldest Islamic building in North Africa, in which Muslim soldiers lived in monastery-like isolation and in the town’s Archaeological Museum there is a f...

Travel video about destination Tunis in Tunisia. Tunis is the capital of Tunisia and the political, commercial and cultural centre of the country: the Paris of North Africa and a metropolis with a long history. The centre of the city is the Medina, the Arabic old town. Surrounded by the market streets of the souks towers the large mosque of El Zitouna. Apart from the Sidi Oqba of Kairouan, this noble building is the most important religious sanctuary in Tunisia. The central market quarter dates back to the Hafsidic and Early Christian period and the leisurely ambience of the Moorish coffee houses still exists today. The tall, octagonal minaret of the Sidi Youssef Mosque is the earliest Syric building style in Tunisia. Next to the mosque are the securely guarded government buildings that in...
Travel video about destination Tunis in Tunisia. Tunis is the capital of Tunisia and this 'Paris' of North Africa is a metropolis with a long history. In the centre of the medina, the domed roof of the souk encircles the Olive-Tree Mosque, the spiritual centre of the old town. The central market district dates back to the Hafsid and Early Christian period. Here, there's something for everyone, many of the goods being skillfully crafted under the watchful eye of prospective purchasers. While strolling through the markets, it's like being part of an Arabian fairy-tale with all the magic of the One Thousand and One Nights. The tall, octagonal minaret of the Sidi Youssef Dey Mosque is an example of Tunisia's earliest Syric building design and opposite is the Dar-el-Bey, former palace of th...

Tunisia is located only a few kilometres away from Sicily, the Roman influence is therefore still very obvious. In 800BC the Punic Tunis was only a small village in a shadow of Carthage. Today, Tunis is a modern city with 1,2 Million inhabitants. Where ever we look the Tunisian flag hoisted everywhere. The five columns of Islam, the state religion of Tunisia, are symbolized by a pentacle . The Muslims believe in God being the only one and Mohammad being his prophet. The teaching of Allah calls the faithful to pray, to fast, to give alms and to make pilgrimage to Mecca.

Starting their Tunisian odyssey in the capital Tunis, Julian and Camilla discover that this North African destination is rather European in flavour. They colour coordinate and walk the picturesque blue and white streets of SidiBouSaid while Julian practices his high school French to the amusement of the locals. Famous for its cinematic scenery, our presenters meet some of Tunisia's film industry greats and the entertainment continues with a psychopathic restaurateur intent on setting Julian up with a local lady. Moving down the coast to Hammamet, a beach resort town where Camilla purchases an unusual coat and Julian gets scrubbed raw in a sauna full of men. The next stop is Kairouan, the holiest city in this Islamic country. Our travellers learn of its history from a guide who is not impre...
Une rose fanée
Et dans l'aéroport
Quelques larmes versées
Sur le mauvais sort
Nos corps séparés
Malgré tous nos efforts
Nos rêves retardés
Par ce curieux envol
Par ce curieux envol
Où es-tu mon amour?
A tunis où il pleut?
Que fais-tu mon amour?
Tu promènes tes yeux
Tu promènes tes yeux
Je t'ai laissé partir
Dans un ciel trop bleu
Nos riches envolées me
Donnent maintenant des bleus
Et dans ce froid glacial
Qui n'est pas de saison
Isolée à paris
Je perds la raison
Je perds la raison
Où es-tu mon amour?
A tunis où il pleut?
Que fais-tu mon amour?
Tu promènes tes yeux
Tu promènes tes yeux
Où es-tu mon amour?
A tunis où il pleut?
Que fais-tu mon amour?
Tu promènes tes yeux
Quand les miens
Se meurent
Je partirai aussi
À tunis où il pleut
Et que m'importe aussi
Que le temps soit pluvieux
Je partirai ainsi
En maudissant les cieux
Offrir à ton regard
Le blond de mes cheveux
Le blond de mes cheveux
Où es-tu mon amour?
A tunis où il pleut?
Que fais-tu mon amour?
Tu promènes tes yeux
Tu promènes tes yeux
Où es-tu mon amour?
A tunis où il pleut?
Que fais-tu mon amour?
Tu promènes tes yeux
Quand les miens
