Field notes

Tunisia's capital — Mediterranean-Maghreb, deeply Francophone. 90-day visa-free for many western passports, extendable in-country; no formal DNV. La Marsa and Sidi Bou Said are the coastal expat pockets; Centre Ville and Lac 1 are the working-city cores. Coworking is thin compared to Cairo (a few spots). The structural filter is the post-2011 economic friction — currency restrictions, occasional fuel/payment friction. Mediterranean climate, mild winters, hot dry summers.

Mediterranean coastal Maghreb — milder summers than inland Tunisia (peaks 28°C rather than 35°C+ in Kairouan). Wet winters (December–February, 3 mm/day average). Sirocco wind from the Sahara is the local weather event in summer (April–September). Best windows are the shoulders.
