Tunis - Culture Situated on the Mediterranean coast of Africa, and between the maritime routes and the caravan routes of the Sahara desert, Tunis opens into the Gulf of Tunis with its outer harbour, known as "la Goulette." Built close to the base of the hills, it is separated from Carthage, its longtime neighbour, by a lagoon. at the same time, all over. Tunis is not a typical tourist site, but tourists going to places like hammamet and sousse , often go on day trips to the capital with their tour operators. When entering Tunis keep your eyes open for the efficiency, the cleanliness, the lack of beggars, and all the women wearing modern garments. Depending on your preferences, visit the bardo museum which is nice, but not big. Or the zoo, in the northern part of the city, which is very charming, well kept, and with far more animals than you would expect to find before entering. The most popular place in Tunis is the Avenue Bourgiba, which has big trees full of birds all along the pedestrian area that makes up the core of it. Right: And the only religious building along the Avenue Bourgiba, is the cathedral, just restored by Tunisian authorities. Click To Go Back AFRICATRAVELLING.NET

Hammamet Culture F or visitors and Tunisians alike Hammamet is another word for vacations and its ritual of sun bathing on spotless beaches, the gasp of cool water on bronzed skin, dinner on the patio of a beachfront hotel, midnight swims, discos and watching the sun rise in the mirror of the sea. Hammamet, the "Tunisian Saint Tropez", is all this and more. Its a way of life, taking the time to relax, meet old friends and make new ones. It's fishermen in brightly painted boats setting out at dawn, the medina surrounded by its ramparts and crowned by an ancient fort overlooking the sea, fashionable boutiques where resplendent traditional tunics and caftans rival the shimmering sun. Hammamet is a cosmopolitan town in the middle of the Cap Bon region of Tunisia. Tunisians speak both French and Arabic. The markets offer an abundance of organic seasonal fruit and vegetables. The fish and seafood are outstanding; caught daily by the local fishermen off the Mediterranean coastline. Tunisian cuisine is a mixture of traditional North African recipes with a strong French influence. It is fresh, exciting and extremely affordable. There are many historical attractions in and around Hammamet. The Sebastian House is of great botanical and architectural interest. A beautiful Art Deco villa that was built by an Italian Prince who received such guests as Churchill, Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, King Edward and Mrs Simpson to name a few of this century's historical figures. Today it is used as a venue for Music festivals and art exhibitions, with an outdoor amphitheatre overlooking the sea. The stunning gardens provide a beautiful setting for afternoon walks and tea.

(photo: Teddy Maki) Le Souk 47 Avenue B, 212-777-5454. Open Sunday through Thursday 6 p.m. to midnight, Friday and Saturday to 1 a.m. No credit cards. Bathroom wheelchair accessible, though getting there through the dark tangle of tables will be difficult. wagged from the ceiling, 34 Berber lamps fling tentacles of light. Their collective candlepower is insufficient for the hapless diner to detect the color of the walls or, crucially, read the menu without angling it back and forth. Worse, narrow metal chairs torture butts any wider than Kate Moss's (hint: hang one cheek over the side, switch every five minutes). Yet though my initial impulse was to bolt from Le Souk, I couldn't resist staying once I discovered that the chef is Tunisian, and the menu an interesting mix of North African fare. You might as well be sitting in Tunis's Old Medina once you dig into ajja merguez ($6), a delicious poach of lamb sausages in a fragrant, brick-red sauce subtly laced with cumin. In the middle floats a runny egg like the sun rising over the ruins of Carthage. Indeed, one of the principal characteristics of Tunisian food is the incessant use of eggs—even slices of pizza bought along Tunis's modern Avenue de France are topped with sliced egg. Thus, I was disappointed with Le Souk's brik ($6.50). While the Tunisian original is a meal-size filo box stuffed with potato, tuna, and undercooked egg—a source of mirth for your companions as you bite into it and yolk splats on your shirt—this version is, alas, a trio of dainty pita triangles enclosing a niggling schmear of spuds and capers on the usual boring bed of baby lettuce.

Electronic Engineering Times-Asia Franchise China International IC International IC-Taipei Travel Center Country Guide: TUNISIA Business Culture Greetings and Courtesies Women GREETINGS AND COURTESIES Frequent handshakes (the right hand only) are the most common gesture of greeting and departure. Address others with a title and their surname. Tunisians tend to be very punctual and time tends to be very important to them. Don't take this rule lightly: it could mean the difference between success and failure. WOMEN Businessmen will, if necessary, deal with foreign female executives, but prefer to finalize terms with men. Legal equality between the genders, such as equal rights in divorce and child custody, is vigorously supported by the government. A few women serve at various levels of government service. Political decision making is centralized, however, and women's influence is limited here. Practically, and especially in rural areas, women are largely in the position they occupied centuries ago in the West: keepers of hearth and home. A woman's honor is zealously guarded, first by her family and then by her husband. Back to Top Fast Facts Economy Travel ... Map Learn more about another country.

Tunisia is also inbetween Libya (South) and Algeria (West). Even though it is between two volitile countries, it is relatively stable. It is a small, fairly developed country with a varied history and culture. Tunisia is an Arabic and Islamic country, but it was once a French protectorate and as a result, Tunisia is a crossroads between East and West. This western influence still permeates Tunisian culture. Tunisia gained control of its own destiny in 1956. When Tunisia became the Rupublic of Tunisia it strengthened its relations with both the Arab states and with France. For example French is still widely spoken. Nevertheless it struggles to maintain a balance between its rich Arab heritage and its modern western influences. Because of its unique place in the world, its relatively stable politics and its mild Mediterranean climate, Tunisia has become a popular holiday destination. Tourism has become a thriving industry and there are many resorts along the East coast.

This page is being merged with another one. Click here to go there now Tunisia is perhaps best described as a crossroads between East and West. Tunisia is an Arabic and Islamic country. However, Tunisia was once a French protectorate.This western influence still permeates Tunisian culture. Tunisia gained control of its own destiny in 1956. When Tunisia became the Republic of Tunisia it strengthened its relations with both the Arab states and with France. For example French is still widely spoken. Nevertheless, it struggles to maintain a balance between its rich Arab heritage and modern western influences. 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.

Tunesia - Tourist Information Travel to Tunesia with Africantours The Berbers were the original inhabitants of Tunisia, but waves of immigration over the centuries have brought Phoenicians, Jews, Romans, Vandals and Arabs. There was a major influx of Spanish Muslims in the 17th century, and the Ottoman Turks have also added their bit to the great ethnic mix. Islam is the state religion. Although while there has been a definite resurgence of religious adherence, particularly among the young and unemployed, the country remains fairly liberal. A small Jewish community practices in Tunis and on the island of Jerba, and there are also about 20,000 Roman Catholics. Thanks largely to the efforts of the secular, socialist former president, Habib Bourguiba, conditions for women in Tunisia are better than just about anywhere in the Islamic world - to western eyes, at least. Bourguiba outlawed polygamy and divorce by renunciation, and also placed limits on the tradition of arranging marriages, setting a minimum marriage age of 17 for girls and giving them the right to refuse a proposed marriage. His calling the veil 'an odious rag' led to its present state of scarcity. Still, ancient traditions die hard, and women travellers are well advised to keep their upper arms and shoulders covered and to opt for long skirts or trousers. Men wearing shorts are considered to be in their underwear and can sometimes incite indignation as well. Public displays of affection are frowned upon in most parts of the country.
