Tunisia is a North African nation bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara desert. In the capital, Tunis, the Bard Museum exhibits archaeological collections of various kinds, from Roman mosaics to Islamic art. The medina district includes the impressive Al-Zaytuna mosque and a lively souk. To the east, the site of ancient Carthage is characterized by the Baths of Antoninus and other ruins, as well as artifacts preserved at the Carthage National Museum. Tunisia has played an important role in the Mediterranean since ancient times thanks to the development and economic and military power of the famous Phoenician city of Carthage.
There are several ways to enjoy your vacation in Tunisia, including spending it on the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean or planning a tour of the country. Travel agencies organize flights and stays also taking care of the visa for those who need it. There are also some agencies that offer guided tours for groups and private travellers.
Tourism is quite well developed in Tunisia. The hotel classification is not equivalent to European and American standards for the same number of stars; a 4-star Tunisian hotel is comparable to a 3-star hotel located elsewhere.
