Position
Tunisia is located in the extreme north-east of Africa, in the center of the Mediterranean basin. Tunisia, marked off by the thirtieth and the thirty-seventh degrees of north latitude, is washed in the north and in the east by the Mediterranean.

Relief
Mountainous and very green in the north, the country becomes progressively lower and drier towards the south. We distinguish three major parts:
  • The High-Tell which covers the north part,
  • The Central Tunisia, REGION of High and Low steppes ending on the coast by the Sahel,
  • Finally, the meridian Tunisia, determined in the north by the REGION of the Chotts. It's the country of the great desert spaces, luxuriant palm groves crouched around the few water points.
The highest point of Tunisia, Jebel Chaambi, does not accede 1.544 metres and the two third of the country are made up by plains.
Climate
Each season is dominated by the mildness of a moderate climate. The mean temperature is of 11,4°C in December and of 29,3°C in July.
  • The spring is as bucolic and luxuriant as all one could wish for.
  • The autumn is green and abounding in fruits. Whereas, the Europe shakes with cold, you will be thrilled with pleasure by exploring the south or by savoring the dates freshly harvested.
  • Finally, the off-shore breeze cools the coast in summer, whereas the permanent sun preserves to the sea an exquisite warmth.
