Tunisia is home to the ancient city of Carthage, once the center of a powerful Mediterranean empire that rivaled Rome.
The Star Wars filming locations in the Tunisian desert, including Matmata and Tozeur, attract fans from around the world.
Where ancient Carthage meets Saharan oases, Tunisia packs millennia of history into a small corner of North Africa.
