Tunis is a sprawling Mediterranean port city in Tunisia and has approximately 2.7 million inhabitants. It’s an old city, named after the Phoenician goddess Tanith, although ancient Greek historians dispute this theory. It has a rich history, as the ancient Greeks and Romans populated the region, and it’s also where the Barbary Wars took place. It became a French protectorate during the late 19th century, which saw major urban developments that advanced the city, technologically.
These days, Tunis features many interesting attractions and plenty of things to do, such as its numerous souks, the Bardo Museum, and the ruins of Carthage. Check out the following best Airbnb vacation rentals in Tunis, Tunisia!
