Ifriqiya (Arabic: إفريقية, romanized: Ifrīqiya, lit. 'Africa') was a medieval historical region comprising today's Tunisia, Constantinois (roughly eastern Algeria), and Tripolitania (roughly western Libya), particularly the region between the sea and the edges of the Sahara. It included all of what had previously been the Byzantine province of Africa Proconsularis and extended beyond it, but did not include the Mauretanias.
