About Tunisia

Tunisia curves along the Mediterranean from the green north to the olive groves of the Sahel and the dry south where the Sahara begins. Tunis and the ruins of Carthage sit in the north, the medina of Sousse and the amphitheatre at El Jem line the coast southwards, Kairouan is the old inland holy city, and Tozeur and Douz open the way to desert oases and dunes. Spring and autumn are mildest for ruins, coast and desert, while summer is hot and winter is damp in the north.
