With this version of the North African nation states of Tunisia and Libya, we have reversed the title to put Tunisia first, as it is the more touristically developed country. Libya, very unfortunately, has joined that status of ‘failed’ states, and although it has much to offer, is also politically unstable and unattractive to visitors. Regardless, it occupies side 1, with an inset map of Tripoli. The eastern portion is Cyrenaica, the former Italian colony, but the border with Egypt is closed. The western portion can theoretically be accessed from Tunisia. Touristically, Libya has some of the most extensive Roman remains in the world. Tunisia, for that matter, fills side 2 and includes a very good inset map of Tunis as well as a photo of the Amphitheatre of El Jem, which is still in use today, which seems remarkable. Equally noteworthy is a monument to General Leclerc, who marched his colonial army across the Sahara to join Allied forces and fight to liberate the world from NAZI domination during WW2.
