1. Cani-eilanden:<\/strong>\u00a0Tunesi\u00eb is het meest noordelijke land van Afrika, met de Iles Cani (\"Hondeneilanden\") voor de kust van de stad Metline als het meest noordelijke punt van Afrika.<\/p>\n

2. Samenstelling van de bevolking:<\/strong>\u00a0De overgrote meerderheid (98%) van de Tunesische bevolking bestaat uit Arabieren en Berbers. Daarnaast zijn er ongeveer 1% Europeanen (voornamelijk Fransen en Italianen) en 1% anderen (voornamelijk Joden).<\/p>\n

3. Gastronomie:<\/strong>\u00a0Het nationale gerecht van Tunesi\u00eb is couscous. De Tunesische keuken gebruikt voornamelijk vis<\/a>zeevruchten, olijven, honing, groenten en karakteristieke kruidenmengsels uit Noord-Afrika<\/p>\n

5. Festivals:<\/strong>\u00a0Er zijn een aantal festivals in Tunesi\u00eb, waaronder: Carthage Film Festival, Sahara International Festival, Tabarka Jazz Festival en Sbeitla's Spring International Festival.<\/p>\n

Tunesiens lange kystlinje ud mod Middelhavet (\u00f8verst) i kombination med det varme vejr g\u00f8r landet til en eftertragtet turistdestination. De historische Karthago (nederst) is ook geschikt voor veel toeristen.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Toeristische attracties:<\/strong>\u00a0De lange mediterrane kustlijn van Tunesi\u00eb strekt zich uit over 1.148 km. In combinatie met het warme weer van het land maakt dit de kustlijn tot een van de belangrijkste toeristische attracties van Tunesi\u00eb. Een andere belangrijke attractie is de stad Carthago, gesticht door Fenici\u00ebrs in 814 voor Christus en later het centrum van verschillende grote rijken. Tegenwoordig staat de stad op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.<\/p>\n

7. Kairouan:<\/strong>\u00a0Samen met Mekka, Medina en Jeruzalem is Kairouan in Tunesi\u00eb een van de heiligste steden in de islamitische wereld. De stad werd in 670 na Christus gesticht door de Arabieren en werd in de loop der tijd een belangrijk centrum voor islamitisch leren. De stad trekt daarom al lang moslims uit vele delen van de wereld aan en is vandaag de dag de 6e grootste stad van Tunesi\u00eb met 565.000 inwoners. Kairouan staat ook op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.<\/p>\n

8. Het Ottomaanse Rijk:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1574 veroverden de Turken Tunesi\u00eb en werd het land onderdeel van het Ottomaanse Rijk. Aan het eind van de 19e eeuw werd Tunesi\u00eb getroffen door een dodelijke combinatie van pest en hongersnood, terwijl in de Ottomaanse hoofdstad politieke en sociale hervormingen plaatsvonden.<\/p>\n

9. Franse heerschappij:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1869 verklaarde Tunesi\u00eb zich failliet en werd het overgenomen door een internationale commissie. In 1881 viel Frankrijk het land binnen en maakte er een Frans protectoraat van, hoewel Itali\u00eb niet blij was met deze oplossing. Sindsdien zijn de Fransen en Italianen altijd de grootste Europese groepen in het land geweest.<\/p>\n

10. Onafhankelijkheid:<\/strong>\u00a0Tunesi\u00eb werd in 1956 onafhankelijk van Frankrijk onder Habib Bourguiba, die later de eerste president van Tunesi\u00eb werd. Sindsdien heeft het land slechts 2 presidenten gehad: Zine El Abidine Ben Ali en Moncef Marzouki (huidig).<\/p>\n

11. Vandaag:<\/strong>\u00a0De Tunesische revolutie begon op 17 december 2010, toen de 26-jarige groenteboer Mohamed Bouazizi zichzelf in brand stak. Zijn dood veroorzaakte een golf van protesten in de Arabische wereld, ook bekend als de Arabische Lente, die leidde tot het aftreden van verschillende presidenten in Arabische landen (waaronder de Tunesische president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali). De achtergrond was hoge werkloosheid, inflatie, corruptie, slechte leefomstandigheden en een gebrek aan verschillende politieke vrijheden zoals vrijheid van meningsuiting.<\/p>\n
