Tunisia Culture, Geography and History

Geography and Environment of Tunisia

  • Todra Gorge Canyon in Tunisia

Sandwiched in between Libya and Algeria, Tunisia benefits from its location on the Mediterranean Coast. The south is characterised by arid plains and desert, which gives way to rolling hills and fertile areas prime for cultivation in the north. With a coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia possesses many white sand beaches, popular with swimmers, surfers and scuba divers. Tunisia's largest city, Tunis, is largely modern in design with the exception of the Old Medina located in the heart of the city.
