Tunis Carthage International Airport — Tunis, Tunisia

Tunis Carthage International Airport takes its second name from the ancient city of Carthage, whose ruins lie only a few kilometers away and whose ancient rivalry with Rome shaped centuries of Mediterranean history long before modern Tunisia existed. As the country's principal gateway, TUN handles the majority of international arrivals into the capital and serves as the primary hub for flag carrier Tunisair, connecting Tunis to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The surrounding coastal area blends the whitewashed cliffside village of Sidi Bou Said with the excavated Carthaginian and Roman archaeological sites that draw history-focused travelers alongside the beach tourism concentrated along the Gulf of Tunis. Passenger numbers through the airport have historically tracked closely with Tunisia's broader tourism economy and its sensitivity to regional political stability.
