Tunisia (TUN)

Tunisia is a country in Africa with a population of 12,547,600. Tunisia, perched on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, is a land where ancient Carthaginian ruins meet lively souks and olive groves. The people are known for their warmth and a cuisine that blends Arab, Berber, and French flavors. Islam is the dominant faith, but Tunisia’s history includes Jewish and Christian communities, and its capital, Tunis, is home to both mosques and cathedrals. Ramadan, Eid, and local saints’ festivals are celebrated with music, lanterns, and family feasts.
