Tunis, the vibrant yet laid-back capital of Tunisia, has managed to hold on to its own identity, where most other Tunisian cities sold their soul to tourism long ago. Here the street scene is decidedly Tunisian: old men with red chéchias (scullcaps) and a bunch of jasmine blossoms behind their ear watch the young go past in jeans and shirts. The culture is Arab and African, but with so much coastline also clearly Mediterranean, traditions run strong and yet Tunisians are more liberated than their North African neighbors, and their Arabic is constantly interspersed with French. The city centre is even physically divided in two distinct quarters: the old Arab medina and the ville nouvelle (new town) created in colonial times by the French.
