Governorates of Tunisia

Tunisia is divided into 24 governorates (wilayat, sing. wilayah). This term in Arabic can also be translated as province or federated state (though the latter does not apply, as Tunisia is a unitary state).

Governorates of Tunisia

The governorates are divided into 264 "delegations" or "districts" (mutamadiyat), and further subdivided into municipalities (baladiyat),[3] and sectors (imadats).[4]

Tunisia is divided into 6 regions.[5] It is mostly semi-arid near the capital Tunis, but becomes more arid in the southern regions due to the Saharan Desert.
