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.

Tunisia (Arabic: تونس Tūnis; Berber: ⵜⵓⵏⴻⵙ), officially the Tunisian Republic or the Republic of Tunisia (Arabic: الجمهورية التونسية al-Jumhūrīya at-Tūnisīya; Berber: ⵜⴰⴳⴷⵓⴷⴰ ⵏ ⵜⵓⵏⴻⵙ) is the northernmost country in Africa, covering 165,000 square kilometres (64,000 sq mi). Its northernmost point, Ras ben Sakka, is the northernmost point on the African continent. It is bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. As of 2013, its population is estimated at just under 10.8 million. Its name is derived from its capital city, Tunis, which is located on the country's northeast coast.
Geographically, Tunisia contains the eastern end of the Atlas Mountains and the northern reaches of the Sahara desert. Much of the rest of the country's land is fertile soil. Its 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) of coastline includes the African conjunction of the western and eastern parts of the Mediterranean Basin and, by means of the Sicilian Strait and Sardinian Channel, features the African mainland's second and third nearest points to Europe after Gibraltar.
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 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.

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.

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...

Tunisisa was established by the Phoenicians, but during its eventful history it belonged to the Roman Empire, was under Spanish, Turkish and Arab influences, and later under the French rule. Its architecture, art and culture all reflect this diversity. The ruins of the ancient metropolis of Carthage, the sand beaches of Hammamet, the old town of Tunis, the bazaars of Sousse, the mystical salt lake, the treasures of the Bardo Museum, the cave houses of Matmata, the palm trees of Tozeur, the bay and fish market of Kelibia, the Roman amphitheatre of El Djem, the blue and white houses of Sidi bou Said, the minarets, the oases of Chebika, the monumental buildings of the Ribats, the camels and the modern luxury hotels all are parts of the colorful mosaic, which is called Tunisia. --------------...

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.

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
