The list of Tunisian heritage inscribed with UNESCO now includes 24 elements, among them 10 sites listed as World Heritage sites. The most prominent of these is the Sidi Bou Said village, which was inscribed in July 2026 as a cultural and spiritual inspiration zone in the Mediterranean. The list also features archaeological and historical sites such as Carthage, the Old City of Tunis, Sousse, Kairouan, and Djerba Island. Additionally, there are 10 entries related to intangible cultural heritage, including performing arts, henna, kohl, and the traditional fishing method used on the island of Kerkennah. Elements have also been added to the Memory of the World Register and the Geological Gardens Network. Moreover, UNESCO-sponsored academic chairs aimed at promoting scientific and cultural cooperation have been established, although these are not included in the official statistics of heritage sites.
