Tunis, Tunisia

Capital City

Life in Tunis is a tale of compromises. With a population exceeding 2,000,000, the city can feel overwhelming, yet the cost of living is the lowest for expats worldwide. While the metropolitan area boasts a thriving economy, contributing a third of Tunisia's GDP, bureaucracy remains a persistent headache. And with summer temperatures reaching a scorching 49°C, the climate is not for the faint of heart. Yet, Tunis' rich cultural heritage, preserved in its UNESCO-protected Medina, and status as the political and administrative heart of the country make it an appealing choice for those seeking an authentic North African experience.
