Host City: Tunis

Tunis is the capital of Tunisia. It sits along Lake Tunis, just inland from the Mediterranean Sea’s Gulf of Tunis. It’s home to a centuries-old medina and the Bardo, an archaeology museum where celebrated Roman mosaics are displayed in a 15th-century palace complex. The parklike ruins of ancient Carthage sit in the city’s northern suburbs.

Tunis is the largest city of the country. The city extends along the coast and the hills that surround it. In the heart of the city, is found the ancient medina, a World Heritage site.

As the country’s capital, Tunis is also the centre of the political and administrative life, as well as the centre of all commercial and cultural activities.
