WHEN TO GO

The best times to travel to Tunisia is during spring (March – June) and autumn (September – October), due to the very hot summers (July – August). Temperatures can range between 15-25OC in spring and autumn on the coast, whereas in the desert it can range between 25-35OC. The country’s location on the Mediterranean allows for sunny weather most of the year. The southern part of Tunisia falls under the Sahara Desert, where temperatures are higher, and night-time temperatures are significantly cooler.
