[:ja]トマ・ペスケ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したチュニジアの首都チュニスです。チュニスで開かれたTICAD（アフリカ開発会議）は、中国によるアフリカへの巨額融資を念頭に国際ルールを順守する健全な開発金融の重要性などを盛り込んだ「チュニス宣言」を採択して閉幕しました。
近郊を含む都市的地域の人口約270万人のチュニスは、チュニジアの商業・工業の中心地で、北アフリカではカイロ、カサブランカに次ぐ第3位の世界都市です。首都として多くの産業がありますが、繊維、絨毯、オリーブ油は大きな産業となっています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1623: Tunis🇹🇳
Astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured from ISS Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. At TICAD 8 (Tokyo International Conference on African Development)held in Tunisia on Aug. 27-28, 2022, Japan pledged $30 billion over the next 3 years for African development, with a focus on investing in human capital and fostering quality growth in a continent where China and Russia are exerting their influence.
The greater metropolitan area of Tunis, often referred to as “Grand Tunis”, has about 2.7 million inhabitants. As of 2020, it is the third-largest city in the Maghreb region (after Casablanca and Algiers). Located on a large Mediterranean Sea gulf (the Gulf of Tunis), behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette (Ḥalq il-Wād), the city extends along the coastal plain and the hills that surround it. Products include textiles, carpets, and olive oil. Tourism also provides a significant portion of the city’s income.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
