Tunisia (US Listeni/tuːˈniːʒə/ two-nee-zhə or UK /tjuːˈnɪziə/ tew-niz-iə; Arabic: تونس‎ Tūnis pronounced [ˈtuːnɪs]), officially the Republic of Tunisia (Arabic: الجمهورية التونسية‎ al-Jumhūriyyah at-Tūnisiyyah), is the northernmost country in Africa. It is an Arab Maghreb country and is bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east as you can see Tunisia map. Its area is almost 165,000 square kilometres (64,000 sq mi), with an estimated population of just under 10.7 million. Its name is derived from the capital Tunis located in the northeast. Tunisia is the smallest country in North Africa. The south of the country is composed of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil and 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) of coastline.

The European Union remains Tunisia first trading partner, currently accounting for 72.5% of Tunisian imports and 75% of Tunisian exports as its shown in Tunisia map. Tunisia is a one of the European Union most established trading partners in the Mediterranean region and ranks as the EU 30th largest trading partner. Tunisia was the first Mediterranean country to sign an Association Agreement with the European Union, in July 1995, although even before the date of entry came into force, Tunisia started dismantling tariffs on bilateral EU trade. Tunisia finalised the tariffs dismantling for industrial products in 2008 and therefore was the first Mediterranean country to enter in a free trade area with EU.

Tunisia is a constitutional republic, with a president serving as chief of state, prime minister as head of government, a bicameral legislature and a court system influenced by French civil law. While Tunisia is formally a democracy with a multi-party system, the secular Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD), formerly Neo Destour, had controlled the country as one of the most repressive regimes in the Arab World since its independence in 1956 as its mentioned in Tunisia map. President Ben Ali, previously Habib Bourguiba minister and a military figure, held office from 1987 to 2011, having acceded to the executive office of Habib Bourguiba after a team of medical experts judged Bourguiba unfit to exercise the functions of the office in accordance with Article 57 of the Tunisian constitution.

Some 98% of modern native Tunisians are from a sociological, historical and more importantly, genealogical standpoint mainly of Berber descent. Tunisian Arabic, like other Maghrebi dialects, has a vocabulary mostly Arabic, with significant Berber substrates. However, there is also a small (1% at most) population of Berbers located in the Jabal Dahar mountains in the South and on the island of Jerba and Altrough the Borders still dominate the pure Berber languages, often called Shelha as you can see in Tunisia on map. Furthermore, genetic studies have found evidence suggesting that the Arab population in Tunisia could be due to a cultural process rather than a demographic replacement.

Tunisia attracted large Persian Gulf investments (especially from United Arab Emirates) the largest include: Mediterranean gate: a US$ 25 billion project to build a new city in the south of Tunis as its shown in Tunisia on map. Tunis Sport City: an entire sports city currently being constructed in Tunis, Tunisia. The city that will consist of apartment buildings as well as several sports facilities will be built by the Bukhatir Group at a cost of $5 Billion. Tunis Financial harbour: will deliver North Africa first offshore financial centre at Tunis Bay in a project with an end development value of US$ 3 billion. Tunis Telecom City: A US$ 3 billion project to create an IT hub in Tunis.

The constitution declares Islam as the official state religion and requires the President to be Muslim. Aside from the president, Tunisians enjoy a significant degree of religious freedom, a right enshrined and protected in its constitution, which guarantees the freedom to practice one religion. The country has a secular culture that encourages acceptance of other religions and religious freedom as its mentioned in Tunisia on map. With regards to the freedom of Muslims, the Tunisian government has restricted the wearing of Islamic head scarves (hijab) in government offices and it discourages women from wearing them on public streets and public gatherings.

Arabic is the official language, and Tunisian Arabic, known as Derja, is the local, vernacular variety of Arabic and is used by the public. There is also a small minority of speakers of Shelha, a Berber language (see the Detailed map of Tunisia). Due to the former French occupation, French also plays a major role in the country, despite having no official status. It is widely used in education (e.g., as the language of instruction in the sciences in secondary school), the press, and in business. Most Tunisians are able to speak it. Due to Tunisia proximity to Italy and the large number of Italian Tunisians, Italian is understood and spoken by a small part of the Tunisian population.

The culture of Tunisia is mixed due to their long established history of conquerors such as Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, Spaniards, and the French who all left their mark on the country as you can see in the Detailed map of Tunisia. In practice, no public criticism of the Ben Ali regime was tolerated and all direct protest was severely suppressed and did not get reported in the local media. Tunisian journalists and human rights activists were harassed and faced surveillance and imprisonment under harsh conditions. Several private radio stations have been established, including Mosaique FM, Shems FM and private television stations such as Hannibal TV and Nessma TV.

The majority of Tunisia population (around 98%) are Muslims, while about 1% follow Christianity and the remaining 1% adhere to Judaism or other religions. Tunisia has a sizable Christian community of around 25,000 adherents, mainly Catholics (22,000) and to a lesser degree Protestants as its mentioned in the Detailed map of Tunisia. Berber Christians continued to live in Tunisia up until the early 15th century. Judaism is the country third largest religion with 1,500 members. One-third of the Jewish population lives in and around the capital. The remainder lives on the island of Djerba, with 39 synagogues, and where the Jewish community dates back 2,500 years.

Northern Tunisia may just be the country most underappreciated region. Not only does it have some of Tunisia finest and most secluded beaches, but itis also home to extensive forests, rugged hills that drop precipitously into the glinting blue Mediterranean, and rolling farmland that is lush in winter, golden in summer and studded with wildflowers in between. Heading south from Tabarka along narrow, winding roads takes you into the Kroumirie Mountains, thick with cork oak and potential for hiking. The main town is Ain Draham as you can see in the Map of Northern Tunisia, a one-time colonial hill station that is high enough to get snow in winter. The region is also home to Tunisia most intriguing Roman sites: the subterranean villas of Bulla Regia; the ancient Chemtou quarries, renowned for their unique yellow marble; and the ancient port of Utica (Utique), all bearing testimony to the ingenuity of these illustrious ancestors.

Famed for its extraordinary underground villas, the Roman city of Bulla Regia, 7km northwest of Jendouba as its shown in the Map of Northern Tunisia, offers a rare opportunity to walk into complete, superbly preserved Roman rooms rather than having to extrapolate how things once looked from waist-high walls. To escape the summer heat, locals retreated below the surface, building elegant homes complete with colonnaded courtyards and internal plumbing. Many of their fine mosaics remain in situ, though some of the best are now in the Bardo Museum in Tunis. The largest marble quarry in ancient North Africa, Chemtou was the source of an unusual, pink-veined yellow marble that was prized throughout the Roman world for its resemblance to gold. It is daunting even to contemplate the work that went into carving out and transporting the huge blocks of stone. The site is fascinating and hosts a unexpectedly excellent museum documenting Chemtou history.

Lake Ichkeul has been a Unesco World Heritage site since 1980, but it has been managed as a hunting reserve at least as far back as the 13th century. The lake surrounds – marsh, floodplain and forested hills – are home to wild boars, jackals, mongooses, porcupines, foxes and otters, but the real attraction is the wide variety of bird species as its mentioned in the Map of Northern Tunisia. In winter, migratory waterbirds descend on the lake in their tens of thousands. Built from 1570 to 1573 by Ulj Ali, the military ruler of Algiers, and named for a military victory over the Spanish, this fortress overlooks the medina from the north. All that remains are two long wall sections and one citadel. The views across the town, over the modern cement amphitheatre, are stupendous.

Southern Tunisia is a place of stark, almost alien landscapes as you can see in the Map of Southern Tunisia. This is a place of isolated Berber villages on hilltops and troglodyte homes dug into the ground to protect against the harshness of the climate. Ancient ksour (traditional fortified granaries) dot the countryside, speaking even more plaintively to the region history. To the south and west, the shifting sand dunes take over. This is the Tunisian Grand Erg Oriental, one of the Sahara most expansive sand seas. Venture out from oasis towns huddled amid vast palm groves to explore one of the country most remarkable and breathtaking settings, by camel or 4WD.

The ghorfas (long, barrel-vaulted rooms built to store grain) of Ksar Ouled Soltane rise a dizzying four storeys around two courtyards and are one of southern Tunisia architectural highlights as its shown in the Map of Southern Tunisia. Scenes from Star Wars film The Phantom Menace were shot here, when they stood in for part of the slave quarters where Anakin Skywalker grew up. The site has been renovated to give visitors a sense of how it would have appeared when first built. Ksar Ezzahra is a relatively little visited ksar (Berber fortified granary), which is a shame because it almost rivals Oued Soltane as the best in the region. It is almost uniformly four storeys of ghorfas (grain stores) in fine condition with two courtyards, many staircases and multilayered tiers. You will almost certainly have the place to yourself, making it an extra treat to explore.

If you are planning your holiday in Tunisia around the resorts of Sousse, Tunis, or Hammamet, you might not realize that just a few hours south lies another world to discover. The Sahara desert transforms the landscape and you will find the lifestyle and culture is vastly different from the resort areas as its mentioned in the Map of Southern Tunisia. The beauty, adventure, history, and culture of the south of Tunisia never cease to amaze tourists. Tunisia south awakens a sense of adventure in a special way and many other travelers say the same. Among exciting things to do are hiking through empty canyons in the Atlas mountains, cruising on a quad through sand dunes, and riding on a camel to a desert camp. There are many Berber and Bedouin influences in Tunisia south. Their customs and traditions live on, and learning about them is fascinating. The underground homes of Matmata, for example, are a wonderful place to see and experience what life has been like for centuries in this part of North Africa.
