It is in northern Tunisia, approximately rectangular and having a long north coast. It covers an area of 3,750 km² including two large lakes, one coastal hence saline and one freshwater being the World Heritage Site, Ichkeul lake. The capital is Bizerte, which stands principally on the inlet between Bizerte lake and the Mediterranean.
