Tunisia

Tunisia, officially the Republic of Tunisia, is situated as the northernmost country on the African continent. Tunisia holds its place within the Maghreb region of North Africa. It shares its borders with Algeria to the west and southwest, while Libya lies to the southeast. Embraced by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east, Tunisia features the eastern terminus of the Atlas Mountains and the northern stretches of the Sahara desert, with a significant portion of its remaining expanse comprising fertile land. Boasting a 1,300 km (810 mi) coastline, Tunisia marks the meeting point of the western and eastern segments of the Mediterranean Basin in Africa. Notably, Cape Angela stands as the northernmost point on the continent.

Celebrated for its historical architecture, vibrant marketplaces, and picturesque blue coastlines, Tunisia spans an area of 163,610 square kilometres (63,170 square miles).
