The landmarks in every guidebook — and the tours that tell you what guidebooks don't.
Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, is a vibrant city steeped in rich history, diverse culture, and fascinating landmarks that tell the stories of centuries past. From ancient Carthage to the modern era, this city has seen the rise and fall of empires, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore its historical depths.
The name "Tunis" derives from the Arabic word تونس (Tūnis), with various pronunciations noted throughout history. Some theories suggest it is linked to the Carthaginian goddess Tanith, while others link it to the Berber root "ens," meaning "to lie down" or "stop." The name may thus refer to a resting point before the ancient city of Carthage.
