Tourist season in Tunisia

Tunisia is a Europeanized country with an oriental flavor, where the attention of millions of tourists is attracted by the delightful white sandy beaches with the purest turquoise sea water, three thousand years of history, which literally oozes ruins ancient cities, fantastic green oases, like paradise islands in the midst of endless ocher desert lands, and, of course, numerous thalassotherapy centers. The country's annual inbound tourist flow is about 3,500,000 people, the largest number of whom come here during the season lasting from April to October.

This is approximately 245,000 of our fellow citizens, for whom the resort epicenters are mainly Hamammet and Sousse. The contingent of vacationers is represented by married couples with children who especially appreciate the mild climate and impeccable beaches with a gentle entrance to the water, young people who promote an active lifestyle, as well as lovers of antiquities and centuries-old secrets of completely different age categories. A separate line worth mentioning are young and not so young girls who come here for affordable healing thalassotherapy procedures.

Low season

The low season in Tunisia begins immediately after the end of the swimming season and lasts from November to early April. In winter, the weather deteriorates, it often rains and dusty winds blow, but still, by Russian standards, the African winter is very, very warm. That is why the resorts of Tunisia are not completely empty at this time of year. Yes, the tourist flow into the country is weakening, but it is impossible to say that hotels are completely idle. Firstly, regular flights are carried out at reduced rates, secondly, low prices for exciting excursion programs and, thirdly, this high season for SPA treatments. The last point can be explained very simply: 4* and 5* hotels in Tunisia, where world-famous thalassotherapy centers operate, winter period they lower prices for accommodation and for many wellness programs, as a result of which they cost 2 times less than similar ones at European resorts. Many tour operators develop special spa tours, a wide selection of which is available in the low season.

Mostly they go to the south and to the island of Djerba - a reservation for package tourists throughout the year, especially in winter.

Beach season in Tunisia

Beach season in Tunisia opens in early April, when spring weather brings the first truly warm days, and people begin to put on light clothes. But only “walruses” decide to swim, while the majority of holidaymakers indulge in sunny bliss. The April tan, as well as the May tan, is very safe, and you can lie on the beach all day long. In the last month of spring, there is a tendency for water and air temperatures to increase, but the weather is quite capricious: a downpour accompanied by rumbles of thunder can begin at any moment, so the sea at this time is subject to frequent disturbances. In June, the amount of precipitation decreases significantly, and the real swimming season begins. The sea is not very warm yet - about +21 °C, however, this is the best summer month, because in the evenings it is already quite warm, and during the day the hot, but not yet aggressive, sun rays warm up. In July and August, the swimming season reaches its climax: the burning African sun warms the sea water to an average of +25 °C..+26 °C; on the island of Djerba the thermometer confidently “clings” to +26 °C..+28 °C . The evenings bring a pleasant coolness, and night swims under the moonlight guarantee a lot of fun.

The sea is still warm, but in the morning the water can be a little invigorating. sun rays very gentle, you can sunbathe or exercise for a long time aquatic species sports, without worrying about the possibility of getting burns in the evening. Towards the end of the month, ridges of fluffy white clouds increasingly appear in the sky, hiding the sun for some time. And by the beginning of October, during the day it becomes not hot at all, and getting out of the water in the company of a blowing breeze is sometimes quite cool. In addition, this month autumn is gaining momentum and the rains begin. Therefore, October is the most excursion month, but if you are lucky with the weather, then with the beach component.

Best time for excursions

People come to Tunisia for the fireworks of emotions that promise rich excursion programs. Be prepared to be attacked by bell fights in hotel lobbies, persistently offering a variety of trips. But even if your plans are only for a classic “vegetable” vacation on the beach, don’t bother going on at least one excursion: the El-Jema Colosseum, the ruins of the ancient Phoenician city of Carthage, salt lake Chott el Gerid, unusual houses Matmaty and, of course, the endless sands of the beautiful Sahara, which lies on the territory of as many as 10 countries. However, it is Tunisia that is the most convenient tourist destination for exploring the world’s largest desert, since its capital is separated from Moscow by just 3 hours in the air. When is the best time to go sightseeing? According to the Tour-Calendar, this is the period from September to November, as well as from March to June: it is not cold, and the sun does not incinerate with burning rays.

Diving season

The Tunisian Mediterranean is chosen not only by holidaymakers, but also by hardcore divers. Although it cannot be said that he underwater world It delights you to the point of dizziness with its beauty or amazes you with its unrealistic diversity, but still makes an impression. For example, only in Tunisia and nowhere else can you see with your own eyes the largest on the continent coral reef or dive just a few miles from legendary Carthage. Local diving centers, most of which are concentrated in Tabarka, open their arms to both beginners and seasoned divers. The diving season coincides with the period tourist season, however, the most best conditions for this sport, including warm seas and good visibility, are possible from June to September. During this period of time, interesting marine-themed festivals are organized in Tabarka. For example, the “Coral Festival of Underwater Photography” at the end of August - early September, and a few days later - “Trident of Neptune”.

These are mainly ships from France, Spain and Italy, for which a Schengen visa is required. A sea cruise is a great opportunity to see more than one country during your vacation.

Thanks to the excellent climate, you can fish in Tunisia throughout the whole year. However, in winter, periodic rains can interfere with this process, so late spring, summer and two months of autumn will be more preferable.

Wellness season

The main centers of thalassotherapy and balneology and SPA complexes are located in Hammamet. In principle, health improvement and thalasso procedures are the first reason why millions of tourists flock here, and in second place are the “excursion” and beach program. In essence, all thalassotherapy centers are assigned to hotels that operate year-round, so there is no specific season for receiving healing procedures. But in terms of health benefits, it is best to plan your wellness during the winter and off-season, avoiding the summer peak months. In addition, prices for services at this time are more than reasonable, and if you want to swim in the sea, a hotel pool can easily replace it.

The fresher the oil, the better it is in its own way. taste qualities. It’s good if you arrive at the end of the harvest period, which in Tunisia lasts from mid-November to the end of February. It is at this moment that the best olive oil comes on sale.

The Tunisian event calendar includes more than a dozen holidays. All of them are distinguished by their special splendor and incredible entertainment. Among the national dates, it is worth highlighting the anniversary of the revolution in Tunisia, celebrated on January 14, Independence Day, which falls on March 20, the Day of the Proclamation of the Republic, which falls on July 25, and Women's Day, traditionally celebrated on August 13. Other events according to by and large is an endless series of numerous festivals. On June 26, thousands of tourists flock to El Haoaria for the “Hawk Hunting Festival”, in mid-July they meet the “International Festival of Carthage”, which stretches for almost 1.5 months, and a few days later Tabarka gathers all fans of jazz music as part of a music festival. At this time, Monastir (around July 15) and Hammamet hold an “Arts Festival”, in which hundreds of musicians from all over the world visit the cities to participate. From the middle of the second ten days of July, the Colosseum becomes a stage for the International Symphonic Music Festival, and exactly the next day in Sousse, the President of Tunisia opens the “Summer Festival”, the climax of which is a luxurious carnival procession along the main street of the city. August is notable for the “Festival of Arabian Horses” in El Batan, and September for the “Festival of the Sea and Sirens” in Kerken, as well as the “Neptune Festival” in Tabarka. The string of holidays continues with the November “Oasis Festival” in Tozeur; in the last days of winter, Douz becomes the center of attraction, organizing the colorful “Bedouin Festival”. In the second half of April, Nabel organizes the “Citrus Flower Harvest Festival.” This is not the entire list of festivals in Tunisia, but to mention them all you will need space for more than one publication.

Climate in Tunisia

The climate of Tunisia, due to its large extent, is uneven. The northern part of the country lies under the influence of a tropical Mediterranean climate, while the central regions and the south of the country, bordering the Sahara, are dominated by a tropical desert climate. Overall, temperatures in the northern mountainous area are 5°C - 12°C cooler than average climate indicators around the country. Summer is hot and humid (nights are cold in the desert), and winter is moderately warm and rainy. The north of Tunisia receives more rainfall, so it is surrounded by greenery: hectares of olive, orange and almond groves, sunflower fields and pine forests. Flora the south is more scarce. This is a kingdom of sands with small “islands” of oases.

Tunisia in spring

Real spring comes in Tunisia already in March, boldly announcing itself with warm, sunny weather. Sometimes the thermometer reaches +20 °C - it’s time for sunbathing. As for precipitation, in March it becomes noticeably less on the coast, but in the north it continues to rain. It is still chilly in the morning and cold at night. During the day in April, the sun is already slightly hot, the water temperature warms up to approximately +16 °C. Number of hours sunlight increases. Starting from this time, excursion time opens. If you are planning a trip around the country in mid-spring, then know that after sunset it usually gets cold, so always take warm clothes with you for your shift. In May, the weather allows the beach season to open, and many are not afraid to go into the water. The sea warms up to +17 °C, and off the coast of the island of Djerba this figure reaches +19 °C. However, the weather may deteriorate: for last month Spring is still characterized by residual precipitation, to which thunderstorms are added this month.

Tunisia in summer

Already from the first days of June, the thermometer jumps to +30 °C, the sun shines up to 10 hours a day, but in general the perception of such weather is quite comfortable, largely thanks to the cool breeze constantly blowing from the sea. This is the opening time of the swimming season, however, the sea cannot yet be called very warm - only + 21 °C..22 °C. If you want to travel to Tunisia with children at this time, choose Djerba for your holiday, where the water temperature will be 1 °C - 2 °C higher. July and August are the hottest months: in the shade the heat reaches +33 °C..+35 °C, so it is better to devote the midday hours to undergoing thalasso procedures or taking an afternoon nap. The evenings bring invigorating coolness, but if you linger in the desert at this time of day, you can freeze seriously, since after sunset the air cools to 0 °C..+5 °C. What is the sea like in summer? Swimming at the height of the season is a pleasure. However, a real nuisance for tourists can be jellyfish, which appear near the coast, usually from mid-July and continue to occupy the waters until early September. It is at this time that the water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea reaches maximum temperatures. A meeting with such inhabitants promises a burn with possible allergic reaction, the consequences of which last from several days to a couple of weeks. Another feature of summer in Tunisia is a sharp rise in temperatures by +10 °C..+15 °C, provoked by the sultry sirocco wind blowing from the Sahara.

Tunisia in autumn

With the arrival of autumn, the heat gradually tames its ardor, and relaxing on the beaches becomes more comfortable. The Mediterranean Sea is very warm, so September is entirely considered the velvet season in Tunisia. There may be occasional showers this month, but they provide welcome relief. October is a warm African autumn. During the day they wear light summer clothes, and in the evening it would be a good idea to throw some light jacket on top. In mid-autumn, the amount of precipitation increases, and the sea “gives off” coolness. In general, a week of wonderful beach holiday will be enough for the whole month, but every day swimming is not guaranteed. In November, the weather continues its “policy” of precipitation, the sky is increasingly covered with gray clouds, and at night even in the southern resorts it becomes quite cold. Nature is preparing to welcome winter.

A trip to Tunisia at any time of the year is a delight. Depending on the purpose of your stay, a visit to this amazing Arab country with French charm they plan for a certain season.

For example, in winter you can hardly treat yourself to a beach holiday, since the Mediterranean Sea at this time is not ready to welcome swimmers, but otherwise winter Tunisia is still attractive and tempting. To understand when is the best time to go on vacation to Tunisia, and in what month, it is worth understanding the specifics of this country.

Tunisia - the pearl of the Maghreb

This is what Tunisia was once called by Arab sailors. The Maghreb is a territory that includes the countries of northern Africa west of Egypt. Walking through the streets of Tunisian cities, you get the feeling that you are in oriental fairy tale. Ancient mosques, colorful bazaars and ancient fortresses take you back into history and leave no one indifferent.

Pearl of the Maghreb

Of all the African countries, Tunisia is closest to Europe. The former colony of France has preserved all the positive transformations that remained after the French stayed on this land.

The capital of Tunisia bears the same name and is located in the northeast of the country, on the shores of the lagoon lake El Bahir, connected by a canal to the Mediterranean Sea.

Today Tunisia is a modern and promising city, a commercial and cultural center, one of the greenest cities North Africa. All year round different cities There are concerts, performances and festivals that attract guests from all over the world. You can also build on this when deciding when is the best time to go to Tunisia:

In April there is a citrus flower festival in the city of Nabeul.
In June there is a hawk hunting festival in the city of El Khaoaria.
Another festival in June is of jazz music in Tabakerka, and in September there is a coral festival.
Arts Festival in Hammamet in July-August.

Airports of Tunisia

Especially in summer period people fly to Tunisian airports for a bronze tan and a Mediterranean holiday from all over the world, including Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don.

View of Tunisia from the airport

The flight takes 4 - 4.5 hours. In addition to the capital’s airport, tourists are hospitably welcomed by several more air gates:

Habib Bourguiba Monastir Airport in north-eastern Tunisia regularly receives flights from Paris, Tripoli, Moscow, Brussels, Lyon and Geneva. You can get from the airport to the nearest city by electric trains.
Enfidha Airport in Hamammet is a fairly young airport that receives planes from European airlines. Regular flights are operated by 2 local airlines - Tunisair and Nouvelair, delivering and Russian tourists from Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Tunisia Airport on the island of Djerba “Djerba-Zarzis” attracts beach lovers; here the swimming season lasts the longest.
Tina Airport in Sfax is not particularly crowded, since this city is a major port for Tunisia. However, there is a lot to see here, and the incredible beauty of the islands of Kerkennah is an hour away by ferry.

The capital's Tunis-Carthage Airport is distinguished by high-quality service and a rich range of services provided. It is located 7 km from the city. Car rental operator counters are located in the arrivals area.

Important! Tourists over 21 years of age can rent a car in Tunisia.

Beach season

The high season in Tunisia begins in June and ends in September. At this time the weather is most favorable for a beach holiday. Information about the holiday season in Tunisia by month will also help: at the end of April, in May and October there is a high probability of getting caught in the rain, but mostly precipitation falls late in the evening and at night, so the question of whether it is possible to swim in Tunisia in May is obvious - for beach holidays it won't hurt.

Beach season

It is very warm here in summer, but the heat is easily tolerated thanks to the dry climate and light sea breeze. IN summer months It can be cool in the evenings, so a warm thing in your suitcase will not be superfluous. Tunisia is especially beautiful in mid-May, when it is not yet hot, but already quite warm for sunbathing and boat trips.

Resorts of Tunisia

The resorts of Tunisia are new to many Russians, however, the quality of service in hotels and other institutions can become an example for many European countries.

It’s safe here, drinking alcohol is allowed, and restaurants serve cuisine that is “understandable” to Russians, with a moderate addition of spices and hot sauces. Thus, for the same money as in Egypt, you can get much more here.

Hammamet

At this resort, life takes place at night, in the lights of night bars and discos. During the day, the city amazes with its beauty: white houses “emerge” from the raging greenery of the jasmine groves.

The streets of the Old Town of Medina Hammamet transport you to the true life of the East, bright and bustling. Lovers of thalassotherapy and sea swimming also come here.

Interesting! Thalassotherapy is a set of spa treatments based on the use beneficial properties sea water.

Monastir

The resort attracts with its beach holidays and warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Appearance The town dazzles with the contrast of antiquity and modernity. But the resort itself is located in the suburb of Skanes. In addition to sunbathing, boat trips and golf are popular here.

Suus

Having thoroughly enjoyed your vacation on the hot sand, vacationers at the Suus resort can have fun in the water park or go scuba diving. At night, tourists visit local discos and clubs. It is worth visiting the Ribat, the Colosseum in El Jem, the Kasbah Fort, the Great Mosque and the Medina.

Mahdia

An excellent option for a family holiday, thanks to the silence and lack of great demand. The sand is clean and soft, and sea water envelops you in warmth and turquoise, and you can bathe in this luxury, completely relaxing and forgetting about your problems.

Djerba Island

One of the largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Beach recreation center. People come here for aesthetic pleasure and the opportunity to be among the incredible beauty of snow-white beaches with emerald water.

Tunisia

The status of the capital does not exclude the title of a resort center. The city attracts with local color and emotions from ancient Carthage and Sidi Bou Said - the city of artists; souvenirs and handicrafts of oriental craftsmen are sold everywhere.

Main hotels of the country

Hammamet is famous for its Iberostar Averroes 4* hotel. Almost all the windows of the hotel offer amazing sea views, and guests are greeted by friendly staff. There is a swimming pool on site.

View from the hotel

The hotels Club Novostar Sol Azur Beach Congres 4* and Jaz Tour Khalef 5*, which is located in Suus, are in demand. The location of the last hotel is on the first coastline. The hotel has an indoor heated and 2 outdoor seawater swimming pools, restaurants, bars and a conference room.

The Movenpick Resort & Marine Spa 5* or Thalassa Sousse Resort & Aquapark 4* hotels also invite you to relax.

In Monastir, one of the popular hotels is the Nerolia By Magic Hotel, which is located between the cities of Monastir and Sousse, in a lush park of 3 hectares, close to the sandy beach.

Beaches of Tunisia

There are no paid beaches in Tunisia, no matter how you look, along the entire length of the coastline of 1200 kilometers. Their cleanliness is monitored by hotels located on the territory of this piece of sandy strip.

The entrance to the water is quite gentle; Tunisian beaches are safe and perfect for families with children. On the territory of five-star hotels, the sand is incredibly clean, and even in high season there are free mattresses for sunbeds.

The beaches of Gammarth are extremely long and wide, and quite secluded.

The sandy strip of Djerba is distinguished by its width, in some places going far into the interior of the island. There are almost no rocky areas on its territory; all the beaches are snow-white sand.

The beaches of Mahdia are the pinnacle of quality in all of Tunisia. The snow-white, tiny sand, the most delicate turquoise of the waves will not leave anyone indifferent. The beach is very well maintained.

Important! The only drawback of Tunisian beaches is the jellyfish. Especially in August and September, during the hottest period.

How to get to Tunisia

The bulk of Russians going on holiday to Tunisia during the season fly on charters that cooperate with certain travel companies. The travel package also includes an air ticket.

Tunisair plane

The flight can be made from several Russian cities:

During the season, planes fly from Moscow to Tunisia almost every day, the time in the sky is about 4 hours. Airplanes arrive at Enfidha-Hammametili airport and Habib Bourguiba Monastir airport.
Planes fly from St. Petersburg with less frequency: on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Destinations are Enfidha and Carthage in the capital, with an occasional airport landing on the island of Djerba. Travel time is about 4 hours.
You can also get there from Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk and Chelyabinsk using this method. Flights are operated by Nordwind Airlines, Red Wings and Orenburg Airlines.

In addition, you can fly with airlines that provide regular flights. There are direct flights from Moscow to Tunisia by the Tunisian airline Tunisair.

There is no way to get to Tunisia by bus, as well as direct communication by sea. The country is connected by ferry lines to Europe, such as Sicily, Genoa and France. Several companies operate flights.

We can conclude that a holiday on the paradise islands is the dream of all travelers. Everyone decides for themselves when is the best time to fly to Tunisia. A small but very cozy country offers guests a warm welcome, to which it is difficult not to respond with agreement.

During the season, it is more profitable to buy a ticket through an agency that will take care of everything for the tourist, including tickets for non-stop charter flights, so go with their help.

During the off-season, it is recommended to track tickets; direct flights will be rare at this time, but organizing a convenient connecting flight with a transfer of no more than 2 hours is quite possible. The main thing is to think through everything in advance so that your vacation is a great success and will be remembered for many years to come.

Most tourists believe that since Tunisia is Africa, it means it is always hot there and you can go on vacation at any time of the year, such as to Egypt. However, the situation with Tunisia is somewhat different. It really belongs to Africa, but you can’t swim and sunbathe at any time, the reason is its geographical location and Mediterranean climate. I'll tell you what happens with the weather in Tunisia every month. But my personal opinion is that this country, from the point of view of beach tourism, is best suited in the summer; at any other time of the year, you can seriously make a mistake with the weather and, at the very least, be upset about a ruined vacation.

Map of Tunisia.

Weather in Tunisia in January.

At this time it is very cold here, the daytime air temperature is only about +14 degrees, about the same at sea. The nights are cold +8. If you decide to come to Tunisia at this time, be sure to take warm clothes, sweaters, jackets with you; tanning is out of the question. However, January can be used to undergo thalassotherapy and go on excursions; at this time, prices for hotels and services drop quite significantly and you can save a lot on things that tourists would pay many times more for in the summer. I would like to note that even on New Year’s holidays, hotels are not much more impudent in comparison with other countries.

Weather in Tunisia in February.

February is the rainiest month in Tunisia, in addition, strong winds begin here and the air humidity level reaches 76%. Even though it’s warmer during the day, about +16 degrees, you definitely won’t be drawn to the beach. At this time, the most favorable weather can only be in Djerba, there is less rain and the sun warms up to +18. You can go there, again to undergo thalassotherapy in order to save money.

Weather in Tunisia in March.

In March, the rains and strong winds end, but the air temperature does not warm up noticeably much, about +17 degrees. The nights are still cold. It makes sense to go to Djerba for a tan; the air there during the day is already around +20. At the same time, despite the fact that this weather is far from hot, you can easily get sunburned, the sun after winter is very angry. Therefore, even at such a seemingly low temperature, you need to take sun cream with you.

Weather in Tunisia in April.

In April, the first tourists already begin to arrive, but there are very few of them. The weather is not yet quite suitable for a beach holiday, the sea is cold, as are the nights. During the day the air temperature is about +21 degrees. Another nuisance at this time can be the hot wind that forms in the desert of North Africa, which is not very pleasant. When going outside during rush hour, you will need to first protect your eyes, hair and nose from the sand that will fly everywhere in the air. It is usually recommended to stay indoors at this time.

Weather in Tunisia in May.

May pretty warm month, but very unstable, the air temperature can vary greatly. Usually during the day the air warms up to +25 degrees, at night about +16. Of course, you can swim in the sea if you are not afraid of its coolness - about +19 degrees. The biggest mistake tourists make is that they think that it’s already warm and nice in Tunisia, and they don’t take warm clothes with them, but in vain! Sometimes there are strong weather changes that during the day the air temperature does not warm up above +20. Therefore, you must take sweaters and jackets with you. But don’t forget about sun protection, including hats.

Weather in Tunisia in June.

June is the beginning of the season, at which time a large number of tourists begin to arrive. During the day the air temperature is about +26 degrees. But the sea is somewhat cool +21. At this time it can be a little stormy and sometimes strong winds can blow. You should come here with children closer to mid-June; by this time real summer comes to Tunisia, without all sorts of unpleasant weather surprises.

Weather in Tunisia in July.

In July it becomes dry and hot weather. The largest influx of tourists occurs precisely at this time. Ticket prices are rising to their maximum. Daytime temperatures this month are around +30 degrees. The nights are very comfortable +23. The sea warms up to +24. An ideal time for a holiday with children and all those who love comfortable summer temperatures.

Weather in Tunisia in August.

The hottest month. During the day it’s about +33 degrees, the sea is very warm +26. At this time, you need to be as careful as possible so as not to get sunburned, especially for vacationers with children. In August, an unpleasant thing for tourists hits Tunisia - jellyfish, especially more noticeably at the end of the month. Most often they are found off the coast of Monastir and Sousse. Be careful!

Weather in Tunisia in September.

In September the heat begins to gradually subside. During the day the air temperature is about +29 degrees, at night +23. The water in the sea is warm, the jellyfish are disappearing. However, it is better to plan your vacation for the first half of the month. After September 15, the weather may change somewhat, it will become noticeably cooler, short-term rains and strong winds may begin. Even visiting excursions can be uncomfortable.

Weather in Tunisia in October.

At this time, tourists often come here wanting to save on a trip in the hope that the weather will still be comfortable. In general, at this time you can swim and sunbathe, but here everything will depend on your luck. The average temperature during the day will be +25 degrees, the nights will be colder than +19. But the sea has not yet cooled down from the hot summer, about +23. But storms and strong winds are often possible. You definitely won't be able to swim every day.

Weather in Tunisia in November.

This time is suitable for tourists who want to attend excursions and undergo thalassotherapy. The sea has already cooled down after summer and its temperature will not be higher than +16 degrees, the nights are also already cool, but during the day the air temperature is about +21.

When best time to visit Tunisia? First of all, it is worth noting that, with some reservations, the tourist season in this country lasts all year round: there is no time when it is not worth vacationing in Tunisia, but some nuances still need to be discussed.

The country is in the zone subtropical climate , which is influenced by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Sahara to the south. In general, we can say that the climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters.

The optimal time to travel to this North African country is from June to November, when the most high temperatures. This time is ideal for a beach holiday, and thanks to the high humidity, the Tunisian heat is easily tolerated. The thermometer reaches its maximum in the summer months, especially in August, as a result of which this time is only suitable for a beach holiday: in such heat it is better to spend more time on the beach, and in the shade. In July and August, it is not recommended to take excursions to ancient places and, in particular, to the Sahara. The average daily temperature in August is +32°C, while the water warms up to an average of +25°C.

But autumn and spring, on the contrary, are perfect for an exciting trip around the country. These months provide the optimal temperature to go on a tour of the Sahara or visit the ruins of ancient cities. It is worth noting that if in the fall the water in the Mediterranean Sea has already warmed up over the summer and is quite suitable for swimming, then in the spring it is not recommended to swim, at least not too much. But you can sunbathe perfectly on the shore.

Regarding autumn and spring, it is necessary to add that at this time there is big difference temperatures during the day and night. If you are going to go on a long trip across the Sahara, be sure to take warm clothes with you: at night it is quite cool here.

In winter, the country becomes a little cool, although the air temperature still rarely drops below +20°C. In the period from November to March, trips to this country are in little demand, so you can relax here cheaper than during the peak tourist season. Of course, this does not apply to the end of December and beginning of January - the time of Christmas and New Year's holidays, school holidays. In winter, here you can take excursions to places of antiquity and explore the cultural attractions of Tunisia. The desert is cool at night, so traveling in the Sahara is not recommended.

Since with different sides The climate of Tunisia is influenced by the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea, it is these factors that determine precipitation, which are generally unevenly distributed. In the northern mountainous regions there is a sufficient amount of rain, and, as a rule, they characterize winter season– Summer here is ideal: hot and dry. And if we talk about the southern regions of the country, then in these places there is often a lack of moisture.

To summarize, we will say once again that in Tunisia you can have a wonderful holiday at any time of the year, but the peak tourist season is in the summer and early autumn - as in all Mediterranean resorts. In spring and autumn you can relax in Tunisia quite comfortably, but the insufficiently warmed spring water is not suitable for everyone. Already in April, the average water temperature is +18°C, in May – about +20°C.
