Tunis - A vast urban area with 2 million inhabitants, a modern town with an authentic medina, Tunis or ancient Tunez took over from Carthage upon the arrival of the Arab conquerors, it then became the capital, and was at its peak in the 13th century under the reign of the Hafsides.

However, Carthage still stands high on its hill, its ruins a reminder of its former glory.
A longside, the smart village of Sidi Bou Saïd is perched like a shining white crown on the other hill heralding the magnificent seaside resorts of La Marsa and Gammarth which boast luxury hotels and quality restaurants.

A longside all these facilities, thoughtfully, located in the superb orange grove of La Soukra, another of Tunis" suburbs, lies a golf course.
