Frequently asked questions
Is Tunisia expensive to visit
Tunisia still offers great value compared to most other Mediterranean destinations. Sometimes it’s even cheaper to travel on a tour than solo. Intending visitors should consider this when planning their trip.
When is the best time to visit Tunisia
It depends on where you want to go. Tunisia is located in the Mediterranean, so there is nice weather with higher temperatures in the south. But if you are visiting the desert areas, take into account that some areas don’t experience rainfall from one year to another.
Should I tip at restaurants in Tunisia
Tipping in Tunisia is customary and even though expected of tourists, is not compelled. You can always round the bill or tip the seller up to 10% of the bill.
What are the voltage requirements in Tunisia
Plugs in Tunisia follow the European standard plug of 230 volts. Avoid plugging items that run on a lower voltage as you might damage your appliances.
Visa fees and rules change often. Confirm the latest Tunisia visa
requirements with an official embassy or consulate before booking travel.
