Tunisia, told in English —
independently, and on its own terms.
Carthage Magazine is an independent, ad-free digital publication covering Tunisia for English-speaking readers around the world. We are the country’s first and largest English-language general-interest magazine.
Our mission
We tell Tunisia’s story the way it deserves to be told: in depth, in context, and from the inside. From the streets of Tunis to the dunes of Tozeur, from kitchens to startup floors to ancient ruins, our work is to make a country of twelve million people legible — and interesting — to the rest of the English-speaking world.
We are not a wire service, and we are not a tourist brochure. We are a magazine, with the curiosity and craft that word implies.
What we cover
Culture & Heritage
From Carthaginian ruins to contemporary art, the layers that make Tunisia.
Food
Recipes, restaurants, and the stories behind a distinctive North African cuisine.
Travel
Where to go, what to see, how to experience the country like a local.
News & Society
How Tunisians at home and in the diaspora shape the country’s future.
Innovation
The entrepreneurs, technologists, and creators building modern Tunisia.
What we stand for
Independence
Our work is funded primarily by readers, not advertisers. No clickbait, no sponsored agendas — just journalism.
Authenticity
Every story is reported by people who know Tunisia firsthand: Tunisians, residents, and trusted contributors with deep local knowledge.
Balance
We offer a fair, three-dimensional portrait of Tunisia and the wider MENA region — beyond the headlines, beyond the stereotypes.
How we got here
Carthage Magazine launched in 2019 as a passion project. Our founder, a Tunisian technologist, saw a gap: Tunisia had a great deal to share with the world, but very little of it was reaching English-speaking readers in any meaningful way.
What began as a volunteer effort by Tunisians eager for richer English-language coverage of their country grew into a professional digital outlet — one that consistently breaks stories, publishes original reporting, and punches above its weight. Today, we are published in Tunis, read globally, and powered by readers like you.
