Tunis (Arabic تونس, DMG Tūnis, Central Atlas Tamazight ⵜⵓⵏⵙ Tunes) is the capital of Tunisia and provincial capital of the governorate of the same name. It is the largest city in Tunisia and, according to the census, had 1,056,247 inhabitants in 2014. Around two million people live in the agglomeration (June 2014).
Its historical core, the Médina, is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

After being a humble village in the shadow of Carthage, Kairouan, and then Mahdia, the city was named as the capital on September 20, 1159 (5th Ramadan 554 of the Muslim calendar) under the Almohad government. Their status was subsequently confirmed by the Hafsids in 1228 and also after the country gained independence from France on March 20, 1956.

Tunis is the economic and commercial capital of Tunisia. Its dense road and motorway network and its relatively advanced flight connections make it a point of convergence for national traffic. This situation is the result of a long centralized policy which has helped to keep all the major institutions in Tunis.

In the course of the 20th century, the agglomeration expanded beyond the municipality's borders. Currently, Tunis stretches across four governorates, Tunis, l'Ariana, Ben Arous and La Manouba, and is called Le Grand Tunis (the great Tunis).
In 2017, Tunis was ranked 113th in the world for the most liveable cities and 1st in North Africa.
