Weather in Tunisia

Tunisia’s climate is a Mediterranean one, with mild winters and hot, dry summers. If you are visiting a town or city in northern Tunisia, any time of year is a good time to visit, although high summer can be crowded and very hot. For a trip to the southern desert regions, winter (around October) is a better time to go, as temperatures can still reach 20˚C. In summer, temperatures regularly climb above 30˚C.

Highlights of Tunisia

Tunisia, despite being the smallest country in North Africa, is home to beautiful scenery, important historical and cultural heritage and golden beaches. The medina in Tunis (a walled section in the city centre) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and includes such monuments as the Zitouna Mosque and the Bey’s Palace. For history buffs, the ancient city of Carthage is today a suburb of Tunis, and the ancient ruins lie 19km east of the city centre. A bit further south in the Sahel region is the city of Sousse, which is a popular holiday destination owing to its sandy beaches. You will find many traditional markets here too, which is a great way of getting a real flavour of Tunisia.
