The Tunisian Republic is the smallest country in North Africa. Bordering the Mediterranean Sea, it lies between Algeria and Libya. The terrain changes from mountains in the north, to a hot and dry central plain before merging into desert in the south.
Tunisian highlights:
• The strange stone troglodyte village of Chenini where people built their homes inside and outside the mountains.
• Ksours, cliff-top fortified granaries were once used by the Berber tribes, the original inhabitants of Tunisia.
• Ksar Ghilane, an ancient Roman outpost oasis located close to Chott el Jarid, an enormous salt pan where temperatures can soar to 45 degrees Celsius.

• Kairouan, the "City of 50 mosques," is the spiritual home of all Tunisians.
• Tunis, considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world from the 12th to the 16th century, has a UNESCO World Heritage Site-listed medina (old city). Its Bardo Museum houses Tunisia’s finest collection of mosaics in the world.
