A Little history

Tunisia has a very interesting history, having changed hands a few times but still having kept the culture alive. Tunisia was nominally under the Ottoman Turks who had seized control in 1574 after a brief Spanish occupation. Ottoman control loosened, and the Beys of Tunisia ruled directly, through the Marauded and Husaynid dynasties. The Ottoman Empire used the Turkish language; with it arrived a multi-ethnic influx. Prior to the Ottoman and Beylical era, the long medieval period had seen a cultural renaissance under the rule of native Berbers, already Arabized.
Tunisia today is a  vibrant country with diverse people and cultures that flow very well with the slightly tropical landscape and beautiful beaches
