Civilisations

El Jem from the sky

Although the smallest nation in North Africa, Tunisia’s eventful and often dramatic history has been the result of its strategic position. Over the centuries, the country which was once the exclusive home of the Berbers, has, at one time or another, been settled on by most the world's greatest powers; from the Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals and Byzantines, Arabs, Ottomans and French.

These people have come and gone, leaving their mark upon Tunisia in varying degrees, and providing a rich cultural and social heritage that is unique to this land.
