Beyond its sun-soaked shores and sandy beaches, Tunisia is an exotic land of desert oases, Roman ruins, exquisite mosques and intriguing walled medinas. Although an Arab country, it has a distinct Mediterranean character about it, moulded in part by a century of French colonial rule. One thing's for sure - it's captured the hearts and minds of the world's film directors - Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and The English Patient all feature scenes shot here. Combining miles of pristine beaches with the mysterious atmosphere of North Africa, Tunisia is a fascinating mix of the ancient and modern. Come and discover its magic for yourself.
