From the Berbers to the early Christians, including the Vandals, Islam, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, the Vikings, the Arabs, the French, and finally, the Tunisians, all have built their monuments there. - Guy Sitbon
“Only 13% of visitors to Tunisia visit the numerous and prestigious sites in the North, West, and South, such as Dougga, Sbeïtla, Chemtou, Bulla Regia, Tozeur, and Nefta, the Berber cities of Matmata, Tataouine, Douiret, and other ksours.” The “potential” of the offer and its diversity is immense! With one condition, as the author rightly writes:
You must start with the areas that were not chosen because they lacked infrastructure or access.

“As a melting pot and crucible of Mediterranean civilizations par excellence, Tunisia is full of historical sites and architectural monuments that demonstrate great cultural richness and diversity. However, many of these sites remain unknown or rarely visited due to a lack of infrastructure, information, and referencing.
The Tunisia Development Foundation is launching a mobile application to promote the material and immaterial heritage insufficiently known in Tunisia. The application is developed starting from the Kef region and aims to cover the entire Tunisia. It lists various remarkable places with explanations produced by historians and gathers alternative cultural circuits to the classic ones, including culinary, taste, and sports routes.
The mobile platform also aims to contain audiovisual resources, a calendar of cultural events, as well as the contacts of local guides and mediators. The goal is to promote the cultural and heritage richness of Tunisian territories on a single platform, highlighting craftsmanship, 'made in Tunisia,' and natural landscapes.
The project is built in collaboration with various associations dedicated to safeguarding Tunisian heritage, historians, and local terroir specialists. It also aims to train young graduates in history and tourism in creating digital content.
