Distances are short, transport is cheap and frequent, and in two weeks you can go from the medina of Tunis and the ruins of Carthage to the Roman amphitheatre at El Jem, the island of Djerba and the edge of the Sahara.\r\n\r\nMany people know Tunisia for its beach resorts at Sousse, Hammamet and Djerba, and you can certainly have that holiday. But independent travellers get a much richer country: nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, the holy city of Kairouan, Berber villages carved into hillsides, palm oases and the film sets where Star Wars was shot.\r\n\r\nTunisia feels Mediterranean and North African at once. French is widely spoken alongside Tunisian Arabic, caf\u00e9s are full of men drinking coffee and mint tea, women's rights are stronger than elsewhere in the region, and alcohol is easy to find in cities and resorts. It is also a Muslim country, more conservative away from the coast, so dress modestly in medinas and villages.\r\n\r\nPrices are low. Beds cost less than in Morocco, food is cheap and good, and a long louage trip costs a few euros. Hostels are still few, with Hostelworld listing a dozen or so, mainly in Tunis, Djerba and Sousse, so you will also use small guesthouses and budget hotels.\r\n\r\nThe main things to plan around are the summer heat, which is fierce in the south, and the security situation near the Algerian and Libyan borders, where governments advise against travel. The usual tourist route avoids those areas.","hw_hub_country_facts":"Capital | Tunis\r\nCurrency | Tunisian dinar (TND), about 3.37 TND to \u20ac1 (Oct 2026).

The ruins of Carthage, the Phoenician city destroyed by Rome in 146 BC and rebuilt as a Roman capital, are scattered across the suburbs north of Tunis and reached on the cheap TGM light railway. Nearby, the Bardo Museum holds one of the world's greatest collections of Roman mosaics. Further inland, Dougga is a remarkably complete Roman town on a hillside, and usually almost empty.\r\n\r\nThe amphitheatre at El Jem is the big one: a Roman arena for around 35,000 spectators rising out of a small town, and one of the best-preserved in the world. Foreign visitors pay 20 TND, and it is an easy day trip by train from Sousse or Tunis.\r\n\r\nThe medinas are the other highlight. The medina of Tunis, a UNESCO site, is a working old city of souks, mosques and palaces around the Zitouna Mosque. Sousse's walled medina, with its fortress-like Ribat, sits right next to the beach. Kairouan, the fourth holiest city in Islam for many Muslims, has the Great Mosque and lanes of carpet shops.\r\n\r\nHead south for the desert. Douz is the gateway to the dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental, with camel treks and nights in desert camps, and Ksar Ghilane has a hot spring at the edge of the sand. Matmata's troglodyte houses and the ksour, fortified granaries, around Tataouine show how Berber communities lived in the heat. Around Tozeur, the mountain oases of Chebika and Tamerza and the salt flat of Chott el Djerid are some of the most dramatic landscapes in North Africa, though Tamerza and Mides sit within 10 km of the Algerian border, where the UK advises against all but essential travel.\r\n\r\nTo finish, Djerba has beaches, a lively old town, the street art of Djerbahood and the ancient El Ghriba synagogue.","hw_hub_country_do_points":"El Jem amphitheatre | 20 TND for non-residents, includes the museum\r\nCarthage | Ruins spread across the suburbs; reach them on the TGM\r\nBardo Museum | Roman mosaics; about 10\u201315 TND\r\nMedina of Tunis | UNESCO site around the Zitouna Mosque\r\nDouz | Camel treks and desert camps in the Grand Erg Oriental\r\nChebika and Tamerza | Mountain oases near Tozeur; check border advice first","hw_hub_country_do_tag":"things-to-do","hw_hub_country_do_more":"All things to do guides for Tunisia","hw_hub_country_food_title":"Brik, couscous and a lot of harissa","hw_hub_country_food_body":"Tunisian food is the spiciest in North Africa, thanks to harissa, the chilli paste served with bread at almost every meal. Start with brik, a crisp fried pastry usually filled with egg, tuna and parsley, which costs about 1.5 to 2.5 TND from a street stall. Eat it carefully: the yolk should still be runny.\r\n\r\nCouscous is the national dish, steamed semolina with lamb, fish or vegetables, and a plate in a local restaurant costs around 8 to 15 TND. Lablabi, a chickpea soup poured over bread with cumin, harissa and an egg, is the cheap, filling breakfast of choice, at around 3 to 5 TND. Ojja, eggs cooked in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce, often with merguez, is another favourite.\r\n\r\nSalads are good: salade m\u00e9chouia is grilled peppers, tomatoes and garlic mashed with olive oil, and Tunisian olive oil is excellent. On the coast, grilled fish is fresh and cheap. For snacks, look for fricass\u00e9, small fried sandwiches of tuna, egg and olives.\r\n\r\nSweets are a speciality. Kairouan is famous for makroudh, semolina cakes with dates, and Sidi Bou Said for bambalouni, sugared doughnuts. Mint tea is often served with pine nuts.\r\n\r\nAlcohol is legal and available. Celtia is the national beer, Tunisian wine is good value, and boukha is a strong fig spirit. Supermarkets don't sell alcohol on Fridays, and sales are restricted during Ramadan outside the resorts.","hw_hub_country_food_points":"Brik | Fried pastry with egg and tuna, about 1.5\u20132.5 TND\r\nLablabi | Chickpea soup over bread, about 3\u20135 TND\r\nCouscous | About 8\u201315 TND in a local restaurant\r\nHarissa | Chilli paste served with bread at most meals\r\nMakroudh | Date-filled semolina cakes from Kairouan\r\nAlcohol | No supermarket sales on Fridays; restricted in Ramadan","hw_hub_country_food_tag":"food","hw_hub_country_food_more":"All food guides for Tunisia","hw_hub_country_nightlife_title":"Caf\u00e9s, rooftops and summer clubs","hw_hub_country_nightlife_body":"Most Tunisian evenings are spent in caf\u00e9s, not bars.

It is the most authentic night out in the country, and costs a couple of dinars.\r\n\r\nFor bars and clubs, head to the coast north of Tunis. La Marsa and Gammarth have bars, beach clubs and nightclubs, busiest in summer. In the resort areas, Sousse's Port El Kantaoui, Hammamet's Yasmine and the hotel zone on Djerba have bars and clubs aimed at tourists, especially from June to September.\r\n\r\nSummer is festival season. The Carthage International Festival brings concerts to the Roman theatre in July and August, and Hammamet and other towns run their own summer programmes.\r\n\r\nAlcohol is served in licensed bars, hotels and restaurants, and inside the medinas it is rare. Supermarkets don't sell it on Fridays, and during Ramadan sales are banned outside the resorts.

They run between almost every pair of towns from a louage station, leave when all eight seats are full and cost a few dinars more than the bus. Tunis to Sousse costs around 10 to 14 TND, Tunis to Tozeur 35 to 45 TND and Tunis to Djerba 40 to 55 TND including the ferry. Get there in the morning, when they fill fastest.\r\n\r\nThe SNCFT railway runs down the coast from Tunis to Sousse (about two hours, roughly 10 to 12 TND), El Jem, Sfax and Gab\u00e8s, plus lines inland. Trains are cheap and comfortable, but can run late. The M\u00e9tro du Sahel connects Sousse, Monastir and Mahdia. Rail services to Tozeur have been disrupted, with trains running only as far as Metlaoui, so check before relying on them.\r\n\r\nSNTRI buses run long distances, such as Tunis to Djerba for around 28 to 35 TND, and are fine for overnight trips. Tunisair Express flies from Tunis to Djerba and Tozeur, which saves a long day on the road.\r\n\r\nIn Tunis, the TGM light railway runs from Tunis Marine to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa for about 1 TND, and the m\u00e9tro l\u00e9ger covers the city. Yellow taxis are metered and cheap: insist on the meter, and expect a surcharge at night.\r\n\r\nTo arrive by sea, ferries sail to Tunis from Marseille and Genoa, as well as from other Italian ports. Driving is possible, but checkpoints are common and night driving outside towns is risky.","hw_hub_country_transport_points":"Louages | Shared minibuses; Tunis\u2013Sousse about 10\u201314 TND\r\nTrains | Tunis\u2013Sousse about 2 hours, 10\u201312 TND\r\nBuses | SNTRI Tunis\u2013Djerba about 28\u201335 TND\r\nTGM | Tunis to Carthage and Sidi Bou Said, about 1 TND\r\nFlights | Tunisair Express to Djerba and Tozeur\r\nTaxis | Metered; night surcharge","hw_hub_country_transport_tag":"transport","hw_hub_country_transport_more":"All transport guides for Tunisia","hw_hub_country_money_title":"What Tunisia costs in 2026","hw_hub_country_money_body":"Tunisia uses the dinar (TND). In October 2026, \u20ac1 buys about 3.37 TND, so 10 TND is roughly \u20ac3. The dinar is a closed currency: you cannot buy it before you travel, and you cannot take it out of the country, so change only what you need and keep your exchange receipts.\r\n\r\nTunisia is good value. Hostelworld dorm beds run from about US$15 to US$20 a night in Tunis, Sousse and Djerba, and small medina guesthouses from around 35 to 60 TND for a room. Street food such as brik and lablabi costs a few dinars, a local couscous 8 to 15 TND, and a mid-range meal around 20 to 35 TND.\r\n\r\nTransport is cheap too. The TGM to Carthage is about 1 TND, the train from Tunis to Sousse about 10 to 12 TND, and a louage across the country rarely more than 55 TND.\r\n\r\nSights cost more than you might expect. El Jem charges foreign visitors 20 TND, and the Bardo and Carthage are in the 10 to 18 TND range. A Sahara tour from Douz is the biggest extra.\r\n\r\nATMs are easy to find in towns, and cards work in larger hotels and shops, but carry cash for louages, caf\u00e9s and souks.

Expect visible security and police checkpoints.\r\n\r\nSome areas are off-limits. The UK advises against all travel to the Chaambi Mountains and military zones in the west, and to Ben Guerdane and areas near the Libyan border, and against all but essential travel to Kasserine Governorate (including Sbeitla) and areas close to the Algerian border. Tozeur, Douz, Djerba and the coast are outside these zones, but check the latest maps before travelling in the south or west.\r\n\r\nDay to day, the main issues are petty theft and touts. Watch your bag in the medinas, insist on meters in taxis and agree prices for anything else. Women may face harassment, especially in summer and at quiet beaches or busy places at night.\r\n\r\nAvoid demonstrations, which often happen on 14 January and 17 December.

Day to day, the main issues are petty theft and touts.\r\nDo I need a visa for Tunisia? | Not if you hold a UK, EU, US, Canadian or Australian passport and are visiting for up to 90 days. Your passport is stamped on arrival. Carry proof of accommodation and your return ticket, as border officials can ask for both.\r\nHow many days do I need in Tunisia? | Ten days covers Tunis, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, Sousse, El Jem and Kairouan. Two weeks lets you add Djerba and a night in the Sahara from Douz or Tozeur. With a week, stick to the north and the coast.\r\nWhat is the best time to visit Tunisia? | April to June and September to October, when it is warm and sunny but not too hot for the ruins and the desert. July and August are best for the beach but very hot, especially in the south. Winter is mild on the coast and the best time for the Sahara, but cold at night.\r\nHow much does a trip to Tunisia cost per day? | Most backpackers spend around \u20ac25 to \u20ac40 a day. That covers a dorm bed or simple guesthouse room, street food and local restaurants, louages or trains, and a sight. Desert tours and camp nights cost extra.\r\nHow do I get from Tunis to Djerba? | Fly with Tunisair Express in about an hour, take an SNTRI bus (around 28 to 35 TND, most of a day or overnight), or a louage (around 40 to 55 TND including the ferry). The louage is usually fastest by road.\r\nCan I drink alcohol in Tunisia? | Yes. Beer, wine and spirits are sold in licensed bars, hotels and restaurants, and in some supermarkets. Supermarkets don't sell alcohol on Fridays, and during Ramadan sales are banned outside the resorts. Stick to sealed, branded drinks.\r\nCan I take Tunisian dinars home? | No. The dinar is a closed currency and can't be taken out of the country. Change money as you go, keep your exchange receipts and spend or change your dinars back before you leave.\r\nIs Tunisia good for solo female travellers? | Many women travel solo in Tunisia without problems, and it is more liberal than many neighbouring countries. Expect some unwanted attention, particularly in summer. Dress modestly away from the beach, avoid quiet beaches and parks alone, and take taxis at night.\r\nWhere were Star Wars scenes filmed in Tunisia? | Several places in the south. Luke Skywalker's home is the Hotel Sidi Driss in Matmata, Mos Espa's set still stands in the dunes near Tozeur, and Ksar Ouled Soltane near Tataouine was used for the slave quarters. Tours from Tozeur and Djerba visit the main sites.","hw_hub_country_cta_title":"Say yes to hostels, meet the world","hw_hub_country_cta_body":"Compare Tunisia hostels: live prices, real reviews and free cancellation on most bookings.
