Tunisia

North African Culinary Paradise

Tunisia—land of Arab and French influences, perched on the African continent's Mediterranean coast. It bears a long and varied history: birthplace of the Carthaginian Empire, fallen to the Romans, invaded many times by the Arabs, and later a French protectorate. Each culture left its stamp, producing a nation of complex religions, heritage and of course, foods.

The Tunisian Riviera, with its fresh fish, aromatic lamb with rosemary and savory couscous stews redolent with exotic spices, is North Africa's culinary paradise.
