Tunisia is located at the junction point between the Mediterranean eastern and western basins ; it is bordered on the North and on the East by the Mediterranean sea, on the South East by Libya and on the West by Algeria.

Tunisia is also located at the heart of the Mediterranean; at no more than 137 km from Europe (Sicily in Italy). Tunis, the capital city is at 2 hours flight from Paris, London and Geneva and at 45 minutes only from Rome.

Tunisia can be divided into four regions :

	The northern mountainous region extending from the Algerian borders to the Cap Bon Peninsula, with a sparsely populated shore, and relatively large coastal cities. The coastline is punctuated by sandy beaches.
	The country’s central part, the Tell, fertile lands marked by uneven lands.
	The very populated Sahel coastline is mainly flat and extends from the Cap Bon to the Kerkennah Islands in Sfax. This area represents a low and flat shore with extended and nice fine sand beaches surrounded by cultivated fields and numerous wide olive groves. Several tourist resorts have been developed in this area: Hammamet, Sousse and Monastir.
	The southern Chott regions extending from the Tell area down to the Sahara regions bordering Algeria and Libya. The Chott represents a large depression, partly below sea level covered with thin and fine slat crystal layers. The Djerba island, close to the Libyan borders, represents an important tourist resort.
