Why Invest in Tunisia
You only need ask why Dubai's largest developers have started to invest very heavily in Tunisia. Amongst other things they are drawn by the stability of the country, the proximity to Europe making Tunisia an ideal link between Africa, Middle East and Europe, and the fact that the country has finally opened its property market to foreign buyers helps. It also helps that unlike its neighbours, Libya and Algeria in North Africa, Tunisia already has a more developed tourist industry with luxury facilities and services, such as world class golf courses and marinas.
Are we seeing another Dubai?
Already projects such as Finance City and Sports City on a similar level to the futuristic architecture we see in Dubai are being planned for Tunis with a whole lot more in the pipeline. There is no doubt that the country is at a very very exciting stage.Rental Potential
It's hardly surprising that one of the first questions our investors ask is about rental potential in the market in which they are interested. The rental market in Tunisia is very strong due to the high domestic demand for rental accommodation in addition to the demand from Europe and Tunisia's neighbours Algeria and Libya. Furthermore, due to the country's location, Tunisia benefits from all year sunshine ensuring the rental season is much longer than in Europe.Having the highest home-ownership rate in Africa and certainly one of the highest in the world, Tunisia is
a middle-income country, which has outperformed most of its African neighbours both in terms of economic growth and political stability. As a result of their relative wealth, the Tunisian people are able to take frequent holidays in the most popular regions of Tunisia such as Sousse and Hammamet boosting the demand of the rental market.Tunisia's larger neighbours, Libya and Algeria do not offer tourist facilities, resorts or hotels anywhere near the scale that Tunisia does, and as a result many Libyan and Algerian nationals tend to take their holidays in Tunisia boosting the demand for rental properties even higher.
Below is a quick checklist of reasons why investing in Tunisia should be top of your list.
- Low property prices

- Dubai developers investing heavily

- High rate of growth
- Low rate of inflation

In conclusion then with its strong economic factors and because the Tunisia property market has only very recently opened up to foreign property buyers, now is the very best time to embark on your investment path in this country – cast your mind back a few years to the Dubai property market, we all remember when we could pick up a good bargain for £30,000. Today that same property would be selling for at the very least £120,000.
