Where is Tunis?

Tunis is the capital and largest city of Tunisia, which is the northernmost country in Africa. The capital is located on the Gulf of Tunis, which is an inlet of the Mediterranean Sea. 

The population of Tunis is approximately 700,000, while as many as 2.2 million people reside in the larger Tunis metropolitan area. The overall population of Tunisia is 12 million. 

The country’s second largest city is Sfax, some 147 miles south of Tunis. The third largest city is Sousse, 73 miles to the south. All three of the largest cities are located on the east coast. 

Tunisia is bordered by the Mediterranean to the north and east, while to the south and west lies Algeria. Libya borders the country to the south-east. It’s 394 miles in a westerly direction from Tunis to the Algerian capital, Algiers. 

The official currency here is the dinar, with 1000 milim or millimes making up one dinar.

The official language is the standard version of Arabic, known as Literary Arabic. However, many of the locals will speak Tunisian Arabic (also known as Derja) as their first language. A large number of people speak French, so if you know this language, it might be the best one to use here. Smaller numbers of people in Tunis speak English and/ or Italian. 

You can fly directly to Tunis from many places in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The city also has a very efficient rail and metro system to help you get around. 

Business in Tunis

With more than one-sixth of the country’s population living in the Tunis metropolitan area, the capital makes a significant contribution to the national economy. 

The World Bank classes Tunisia as a middle-income economy, and it’s certainly more prosperous than some of the neighbouring countries. Having been a socialist country in the past, recent governments have established the nation as a functioning market economy, and one that actively welcomes foreign investment. 

The majority of people in Tunis work in service-based sectors. Tourism, technology, telecommunications, professional services, and education are some of the largest employers. The manufacturing of beverages and textiles and mining of iron and phosphates remain important to the local economy. 

Some of the best-known companies with operations in the city include EY, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Orange, Huawei, and Nokia. 

There are a number of organisations that offer business networking opportunities in the Tunisian capital, including InterNations Tunis Business Networking Group; and Women Business Angels in Tunisia, which seeks to support innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship practices. 

The handshake is not commonly used in some Islamic societies when members of different genders meet one another, so bear this in mind when doing business here.

Things To Do in Tunis

In the eastern part of the city region, you’ll find the ancient city of Carthage, where you can walk amongst the ancient monuments and visit the museum to see the incredible artefacts that have been found here. 

So many of the best tourist attractions in Tunis concern its ancient history. Another must-see is the Bardo Museum, housed in an elaborate 15th century palace, where you can see superb mosaics, sarcophaguses, marble sculptures, and bronzes. 

The Old Town, or Medina, dates from the 7th century. This area is noted for its mosques and mausoleums, and you’ll find plenty of cafés and street traders in these narrow alleyways. 

Although this is an Islamic country, the 19th century Catholic Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul is well worth seeing, and is a superb combination of Moorish, Gothic, and Byzantine architecture. 

After all this sightseeing, you can relax on the excellent beach at La Goulette. 

If you want somewhere to eat in the evening, there are many places that serve delicious, authentic Tunisian fare. Other restaurants combine the best local cuisine with those of other areas, such as the Mediterranean.

Whatever you choose to do in this fascinating city, staying in a Situ serviced apartment in Tunis will help you get the most out of your trip.
