Wot country is tunisia?


Wot country is tunisia?

Tunisia is a small country in North Africa.

Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, it is the northernmost African country, and the smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range, bordering Algeria, to the west, and Libya to the south east. The capitol city is Tunis. That is located about a 2 hour drive north from where I live, in Monastir.

Tunisia is a land full of culture, historical significance, and beauty. It has been under the rule of Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Berbers, Ottomans, Beys, and French. Tunisia gained her independence from France in 1956 and elected it鈥檚 first president, Habib Bourguiba in 1957. Bourgiba placed strong emphasis on economic and social development, especially education, the status of women and the creation of jobs. In 1987 Bourguiba was deposed by his prime minister, Zayn al-Abidin bin Ali (Ben Ali), who is still the current president.

The mountain region is breathtaking! There are fantastic views and an the atmosphere is reminiscent of an old town in Switzerland. Absolutely gorgeous! The coast is marvelous. The Sea is clear and picturesque. The midland and south are terrific because they offer you the chance to peek into a forgetten society - one that holds fast to tradition. I have been all over Tunisia and have visited most cities and have loved everyone because they each have their own special charm.

The people are so warm and hospitable. They instantly welcome you as one of their own and treat you like family. Tunisia is also a very safe place. There are not many places in this world where a women can walk the streets alone in the middle of the night without fear. Yet I often take late night walks and have never had any problems and have never felt fearful.

Here's two links to photo albums I have on Tunisia. Feel free to look at any others I have if you want.

Not to repeat what our friend Hassen gave you as an adopted expatriate,from her personal experience.
Tunisia used to be called " Africa nova " during the Roman time(2nd B.C to 6th A.D),and as her inhabitants were and still friendly and generous,they offered this denomination to the continent Africa where they establish themselves on164.000sqk.
almost the same size as Georgia in U.S,or Wales & Scotland together in Britain.
