Beautiful, pacific, pleasant and interesting nation of the northernAfrica; for the Europe it represents the Africa's door.
Rich of Roman vestiges as to Dougga, Sbeitla and El Jem; with beautiful Arab town and medine as in Tunis, Kairouan and Sousse; with a splendid sea as to Hammamet, Monastir and above all Djerba island.
But the true glamour of Tunisia is in the southern part of the nation, in the "Grand Sud", where there are fantastic oases as Gafsa, Tozeur and Nefta; where the salt big basin of the Chott Djerid is placed; where there are the troglodytes centers of Matmata and Medenine; where spaces widen and where town and populations leave the place to the dunes of the Sahara.
