I spent the initial five years of my life alternating between Europe and Tunisia. However, for the past seven years, I have been primarily based in Europe.
My diverse international background has heightened my appreciation for the unique treasures present in my home country. Consequently, during each visit to Tunisia, I make a conscious effort to embrace and take advantage of the following five cherished aspects it has to offer:
Sandy Beaches
With a coastline stretching nearly 1200 km, Tunisia undoubtedly boasts spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.
The favorite pastime for many Tunisians is heading to the beach, reclining under a parasol. Personally, I find joy in sports or delving into a good book whenever I visit the "bhar" (beach in Tunisian Arabic).
History
Tunisia boasts a rich history spanning over 3000 years, having been integral to the Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and Ottoman empires. It also functioned as a French protectorate until gaining independence in 1956.
Currently, seven Tunisian sites have earned recognition as World Heritage Sites:
Amphitheatre of El Jem
Archaeological Site of Carthage
Dougga
Kairouan
Medina of Sousse
Medina of Tunis
Punic Town of Kerkouane and its Necropolis
These sites collectively reflect Tunisia's historical and cultural significance, drawing visitors from around the globe.
Slow living
I struggle to find the perfect description, but Tunisia, especially Djerba, serves as my stress antidote.
The sensation of the wind gently touching my face, the limited intrusion of technology into people's lives, the absence of towering buildings at every turn, and the enveloping presence of palm trees and water—these elements effortlessly rejuvenate me.

Healthy, Tasty & Affordable Dishes
Yes! The majority of your grocery store or market purchases in Tunisia are organic!
Moreover, when you order fish at a restaurant, it's highly likely to be wild-caught rather than farm-raised.
Should you choose to visit Tunisia, I challenge you to indulge in local delights such as "Slata Mechwya," couscous, and "Mloukhya."
