Tunisia / Place guide
Discover Tunisia
Tunisia lies on North Africa’s Mediterranean coast between Algeria and Libya. It belongs to the wider Maghreb region, with territory extending inland beyond its coastal settings. Tunis occupies the north rather than the centre of the country.

Mediterranean and Maghreb geography
The sea and two neighbouring states provide a clear geographical frame. Maghreb names a broader North African region, not an alternative name for Tunisia. A northern coastal scene therefore represents a particular setting rather than every national landscape.
Tunis beside its bay
The capital is associated with the Bay of Tunis and has an important university role. Similar names for city and country should be distinguished: Tunis is a particular urban centre within the larger state of Tunisia.
