Sfax, strategically located on the eastern coast of Tunisia, is the country's second largest city known for its robust economic activity in industries such as fishing, oil refining, and phosphate production. Its unique blend of historic and contemporary allure captivates its visitors. The city offers its guests a striking contrast between the traditional charm of the medina, brimming with ancient architecture, thriving souks, and traditional homes, and the modern aspect characterized by bustling businesses and contemporary buildings. The city's reputation also extends to its gastronomy, producing some of the finest olive oils in the country, and the distinctive University of Sfax, renowned in fields of computer sciences and economics.

Tunisia, an idyllic blend of Mediterranean beachfronts and Arabic culture, is perched on the northernmost point of Africa. Known for its stunning landscapes, this country offers a variety in its geography; from the sun-drenched coasts of Hammamet and Sousse, to the arid yet beautiful Sahara Desert, and not forgetting the verdant, mountainous regions of the North-West. Tunisia's long history, influenced by many civilizations is evident in its diverse architecture, from the impressive Roman amphitheater in El Jem, to the Islamic landmarks in its bustling capital, Tunis. Enthusiasts of the Star Wars franchise also frequently visit the country to travel to the sandy dunes of Tataouine, an original filming location of the famous series. Moreover, the intriguing labyrinthine souks, rich aroma of spices, and the world-class craftsmanship on display make Tunisia a perfect destination for culture and history lovers.
