The coast of Tunisia is beuatiful. Towns like Mahdia, Sousse, Sfax and Monastir are worth a visit. The beaches are quite nice. You might try to avoid staying in the big tourist traps on the coast, however, there it is quite hard to appreciate real Tunisian life.
The west is rugged mountain land. One of the coolest things to do here is take the 'lezard rouge' in Metlaoui. The lezard is a train from 1920 that winds its way through mountain gorges.
The south of Tunisia is mostly desert. A striking sight in this region are the cave dwellings in Matmata. This is where Star Wars was filmed! The island of Jerba is also a great place to go in the south.
