o CLIMATE-Tunis has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Koppen climate classification Csa), characterized by a hot and dry season and a cool and rainy season. The local climate is also affected somewhat by the latitude of the city, the moderating influence of the Mediterranean and the terrain of the hills.

o GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS-Tunis is located in north-eastern Tunisia on the Lake of Tunis, and is connected to the Mediterranean sea's Gulf of Tunis by a canal which terminates at the port of La Goulette / Halq al Wadi . The ancient city of Carthage is located just north of Tunis along the coastal part.

ECONOMY

Products include textiles, carpets, and olive oil. Tourism also provides a significant portion

of the city's income.

Because of the concentration of political command (headquarters of the central government,

presidency, parliament, ministries and central government) and culture (festivals and

mainstream media), Tunis is the only nationally ranking metropolis. Tunis is the heartland

of the Tunisian economy and is the industrial and economic hub of the country, home to

one third of Tunisian companies—including almost all the head offices of companies with

more than fifty employees, with the exception of the Compagnie des Phosphates de Gafsa,

headquartered in Gafsa —and produces a third of the national gross domestic product.

FESTIVALS

• The city holds several festivals each year, of which the largest is the Carthage International

Festival which takes place in July and August with international attraction. Founded in

1964, much of the festival is held in an old amphitheater of Carthage (with a capacity of

7,500 seats), and hosts the performances of singers, musicians, actors, dancers and films on

display on outdoor screens.

oGASTRONOMY

Tunisian cuisine, the cuisine of Tunisia, is a blend of Mediterranean and desert dwellers' culinary traditions. Its distinctive spicy fieriness comes from neighbouring Mediterranean countries and the many civilizations which have ruled the land now known as Tunisia: Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Turkish, French, and the native Berber people Many of the cooking styles and utensils began to take shape when the ancient tribes were nomads. Nomadic people were limited in their cooking implements by what pots and pans they could carry with them. A tagine, for example, is actually the name for a pot with a conical lid, although today the same word is applied to what is cooked in it.
