Tunisia, officially the Republic of Tunisia, is a North African country bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert. Known for its rich history, it boasts ancient Roman ruins, including the impressive El Jem amphitheater, and the vibrant medina of Tunis, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A blend of Berber, Arab, and European influences, Tunisia offers diverse landscapes, from sun-kissed beaches to arid deserts. The country gained independence from France in 1956 and played a key role in the Arab Spring uprisings. Today, Tunisia is a developing nation with a focus on tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing.
