Tunisia is a Maghreb country in North Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east, while about 40 percent of its territory is covered by the Sahara Desert. The country’s geographical diversity also influences its cultural identity, as Arab, Berber, and Mediterranean influences have blended throughout history. Tunisia is known for its history, which stretches from ancient Phoenician settlements like Carthage to the Roman Empire, and today its culture encompasses vibrant medinas, traditional music, dances, and dishes that combine these diverse traditions.
