Stargazing in Tunis, Tunisia

Tunis, on Tunisia's Mediterranean coast, has Bortle 7 city skies but quick access to darker country inland and, further south, the Sahara itself. The interior reaches Bortle 4 within a couple of hours, and the southern desert around Douz and the Grand Erg Oriental offers Bortle 2 darkness with pristine transparency. At 36.8°N, the southern sky is well presented, with the summer Milky Way core high from a dark site. Tunisia's dry climate gives frequent clear nights, and the dramatic Saharan dunes — familiar from film — make striking foregrounds for astrophotography.
