One explanation for the name Tunisia is that the country is named after the Phoenician lunar goddess Tanit. According to another version, in the Old Berber language it means “night camp.” The first mention of Tunisians dates back 4,500 years ago, and since then date and olive trees have been their “monopoly”.
Palm trees and olive fields are everywhere in Tunisia. Local residents consider these two trees to be national treasures and take great care of them. Palm fruits are used for the leaves, and the taste of olive oil here is completely different.
