Tunisia is a destination shaped by history, culture and dramatic scenery. Along the Mediterranean coastline, ancient sites and modern towns share the landscape, while further south the scenery shifts to salt flats, desert oases and the Sahara. A long and varied past, including Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Ottoman influences, is reflected in the country’s architecture and heritage.
An escorted tour allows you to experience these different sides of Tunisia with ease. Guided visits bring the history to life, while the journey itself highlights the changing scenery. With a combination of included excursions and free time, there are opportunities to explore historic medinas, discover important cultural sites and enjoy time by the coast.

Desert safaris
The Sahara covers much of southern Tunisia and is typically explored by 4x4, travelling across desert plains, rocky terrain and sand dunes. Excursions may include visits to remote settlements and oases, offering insight into life in this arid region. The landscape changes throughout the day as light and temperature shift, with different views of southern Tunisia at different times.
Key Tunisia travel information

Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are generally the most comfortable times to visit, with warm temperatures suited to sightseeing. Summers can be very hot, particularly in the south, while winters are milder, especially along the coast.
Flights from the UK to Tunisia typically take around 3 hours, depending on the departure airport and route.
Tunisia is usually 1 hour ahead of the UK, although this can vary slightly depending on daylight saving time changes.
Tunisia is located in North Africa, bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east.
Arabic is the official language, with French widely spoken. English is commonly used in tourist areas and by guides on escorted tours.
The currency is the Tunisian dinar. Credit cards are accepted in many hotels, though cash is often preferred for smaller purchases.
Tipping is customary in Tunisia. In restaurants, around 5–10% is typical if a service charge is not included. Your Tour Manager will advise on appropriate tipping for guides and drivers during your tour.
Tourist tax is included in the price of your holiday.
UK passport holders do not usually need a visa for short tourist stays in Tunisia, but entry requirements can change, so it’s important to check the latest guidance before travelling. Visit GOV UK for more advice about entry requirements to Tunisia or, alternatively, visit CIBT visas for more information.
Tunisia has a Mediterranean climate in the north, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, while the south is more desert-like, with higher temperatures and very little rainfall.
Tunisia is a popular destination for escorted travel, and visiting as part of an organised tour provides structure and support throughout your trip. As with any destination, it’s advisable to follow local guidance and stay aware of your surroundings, particularly in busy areas.
