Tunis is the capital city of [[Tunisia]] and is sited close to the remains of ancient [[Carthage]]. Tunis is also the seat of the Tunisian President.
Tourism is a major component of the economy in Tunis and it is home to the famous Bardo Museum. This museum was originally a 13th century Hafsid palace. It contains an important collection of mosaics and artifacts from the [[Roman Empire]] and other antiquities from the Arab period.
The ruins of [[Carthage]], another area of archeological and tourist interest, are nearby along the coast to the north east.
