| Tunis Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Tunis, Tunisia's capital is the reminiscents of the French protectorate, which is still expanding as the modern city as well as the suq, the old town, one of the Arab worlds best. Filled with beauty and charm without being spoiled. Compared with most mega-cities elsewhere in the world, Tunis comes across as little more than a large country town. The city centre is compact and easy to navigate, with almost everything important to travellers within the medina and the compact ville nouvelle. |
