Manouba
Tunis's western edge — the historic palace and the Borj el Amri plain.
Manouba sits immediately west of Tunis, where the city gradually gives way to the agricultural plain of the Mejerda valley.
Its symbol is the Manouba Palace, a beylical residence from the 19th century, today housing part of the university. The governorate also hosts the National Library's modern annex and a major university campus.
Beyond the suburbs, the countryside flattens into wheat fields, market gardens and the small town of Borj el Amri — a quiet stretch of rural Tunisia minutes from the capital.
