So where IS Tunisia? As the above map reveals, Tunisia is inbetween
Libya and
Algeria.
Even though it is between two volatile countries, it is relatively stable.
It is a small, fairly developed country with a varied
history and culture. Tourism has become a thriving
industry and there are many resorts along the east coast. Carthage is a
very wealthy and beautiful suburb of the capital city of Tunis. It is situated
on the sea which provides a refreshing and pleasant climate. The main spoken
language is Arabic but French is also widely used. English is now taught
in many schools. Carthage has become a major centre for international
archaeology.
Welcome to "Tunisia, Where's That!?". I started this page as a
site for the
University of Alberta's excavation of
Bir El Djebbana
in Carthage, Tunisia. Once the application deadline was over I was
still receiving email because of my site. People wanted to know about
Tunisia and my experiences there. This page was created to help
satisfy those requests.If you have been to Tunisia and have something
to add,please email me.
This is the directory. I have divided my page into nine to make it
more helpful. I hope it is.
