At the EXPO, the "land of the sun" appears as the environmental pioneer of North Africa with its desert control projects. In a reconstructed Sahara landscape on the left-hand side of the pavilion, the Tunisians demonstrate to visitors how they have turned deserts into flourishing oases.
On the right-hand side of the pavilion the visitor can experience Tunisia's long cultural tradition in a reconstructed old city street in Medina, from ancient Carthage up to modern art. The visitor can wander around a Suk, try dried dates in a café and view paintings of contemporary artists.
