Tunisia, with the size of 163,610 sq km is the country that enjoys temperate climate and it is approximately just over the size of Georgia, US. It experiences winters that are mild and rainy, while the summers are dry and hot. This is more pronounced in the deserts of the South. The country is largely mountainous in the North. The central region is mostly plains, while the south is semiarid and continuous further as the Sahara desert. Shatt al Gharsah is the lowest point in Tunisia and it is 17 m below the sea level, while the Jebel ech Chambi is the highest point at 1,544 m.

Tunisia is the most prominent country in central Mediterranean. Oil exploration is set to become a huge business in both Malta and Tunisia after the two countries are discussing the possibility of the continental shelf that exists between the two countries to be commercially exploited.
