THE NEW TUNISIA


Tunisia wants overseas investors to buy property at Berge du Lac, a brand new, 150 hectare waterfront district, on the edge of the country's capital, Tunis, which will be fully completed by 2015.

A growing number of international firms opening offices in this government-backed development zone, include KPMG, Cap Gemini and British Airways. The British, Americans, Canadians and Malaysians have moved their embassies there.

Although, the district's western-style homes are very different to traditional Tunisian dwellings, with car parking spaces for example, they are attracting some younger, middle class residents. Prices for flats start at about GBP120,000.

Foreigners who buy properties as second homes can spend as much time as they want in the country. Tunisia is negotiating an open skies agreement to improve its air connections to other parts of the world.
