Dialysis and travel

The Alyssa hemodialysis center is located in the region of Boumhel el-Bassatine, a town in the southern suburbs of Tunis, about ten kilometers from the city center and the Tunis Carthage international airport.

Tunis, is the capital and largest city of Tunisia, on the North African coast, between the western and eastern basins of the Mediterranean Sea. Tunis has some 2,700,000 inhabitants.

At its heart is its old medina, a world heritage site. East of the medina across the sea gate (also known as Bab el Bhar and the Porte de France) begins the modern city, or Ville Nouvelle, crossed by the large avenue Habib Bourguiba (often referred to as by the popular press and travel guides such as "the Tunisian Champs-Élysées"), where colonial-era buildings contrast clearly with the smaller and older structures. Further east, by the sea, are the suburbs of Carthage (with these archaeological sites over 2000 years old), La Marsa and Sidi Bou Saïd.

As the country's capital, Tunis is the center of Tunisian political and administrative life; it is also the center of the country's commercial and cultural activities. It has two cultural centers, as well as a municipal theater which hosts international theater troupes and a summer festival, the Carthage International Festival, which is held in July.
