It turns out that small countries always have beautiful places, chic landscapes of nature and attract tourists. Tunisia is no exception in this regard. The country is small, but annually receives more than three million tourists. They fly here for the sake of the sun, the sea and beautiful places. Often tourists ask, when is the best time to go to Tunisia for a beach holiday, so that there is a lot of sun and no rain? There are several such months in a year, and we will tell you about the high tourist season in Tunisia and about when the Velvet season.
Tunisia is always warm and almost always sunny. But still, in some months the country is quite cool and you can not swim. In the winter months, there is no snow and frost here, but it is cool outside and it is better not to approach the sea at all. Let's find out when is the best time to swim and sunbathe on the shores of Tunisia and what to take with you. Reviews of tourists will help us in this matter.
The beginning of the beach season in Tunisia.
Since April, tourists begin to appear on the beaches of Tunisia. They rest on the sand, bask and sunbathe in the sun. Since April, warm weather sets in Tunisia, and during the day the air warms up to +22 degrees, but you can’t swim yet. Water is not higher than +18 degrees. True, some tourists decide to go into the ocean, but not for long.
These days you can see surfers in the sea who ride boards on the waves. The waves are still high, and you can ride perfectly these days. But again, the water is cool, and they are not in it for more than an hour.
May is already warmer, up to +25 and above. But these days it can often rain, which will interfere with your rest. It happens. That the downpour begins in a couple of minutes. You look at the sky, the sun is there. And in two or three minutes you were already covered by a downpour and there is nowhere to hide. The water in May is still cool, but gradually warms up. In the middle of the month it is +22 degrees. because of frequent rains not many swim. Most tourists in May just sunbathe and enjoy their vacation.
High season in Tunisia.
As soon as summer comes, the beaches of Tunisia are immediately full of tourists. With the advent of June, the high season begins.
In June, the air temperature is still comfortable. About +30 degrees. Rarely does it go higher. The nights are warm, and in the evenings you can walk along the streets of the city, stroll along the ocean. The water in June is the same as in May, not higher than +22 degrees, but due to high temperature air during the day, swim more comfortable. At any time, you can go ashore and bask.
The Velvet season.
September and October is the velvet season in Tunisia. Daylight hours begin to decrease, the air temperature also goes down. During the day it is not higher than +29 degrees, a warm breeze blows, which relaxes. The water in the sea does not cool down and stays at +24 degrees. In the velvet season, the beaches of Tunisia are not empty at all. There are as many tourists here as in summer. Therefore, prices in hotels are kept at the level of summer. To save money during the velvet season, you need to buy a tour for September or October in advance, around March.
Locals believe that the best time for a beach holiday in Tunisia is the velvet season. They themselves take vacations and go to the beaches. After a hot summer, it is so nice to freshen up and enjoy the last sunny warm days. It seems that in the first autumn days the whole country is on the beach, and no one is working.
When is it forbidden to swim in Tunisia?
Many travel agencies sell tours to Tunisia for November and December. On the New Year and early spring. They say the Tunisian is warm and the sea is warm. Don't believe them, it's not true. And the truth is that from November to March it rains in Tunisia, albeit not often. And very cold. Sometimes the temperature drops to +10 degrees, and the sea cools down to +12 +14.
The season in Tunisia - we consider it by months and put it on the shelves: when, where and how much to count (moreover, both in rubles and in degrees Celsius).
We tell you what the difference is between “when it’s cheaper” and “when it’s better” to go on vacation to Tunisia.
The tourist season for recreation in all its manifestations in Tunisia continues May to October when charters from Russian cities are actively flying. In other months, the resorts of Tunisia freeze, fall into suspended animation and become noticeably cheaper. In general, in winter people come here to breathe in the sea and for spa treatments.
Season kicks off in Tunisia in June: the air temperature at the end reaches + 30 ° С, the water temperature reaches + 23.5 ° С (the exception is the island of Djerba, everything is + 26 ° С there). July and August can scare vacationers away with dry heat and jellyfish. But in September the influx of tourists will repeat - the velvet season is coming.
The off-season in Tunisia, as probably everywhere else, is the best time to "ride and see". Love excursions - arrive in early spring or late autumn. And another important point: Tunisian resorts stretch along the coast from north to south of the country. And in the same month in different places, the climate may differ (as well as the concepts of season / off-season).
In order not to confuse anything, our table by months:
| Jan | Feb | March | Apr | May | June | July | Aug | sen | Oct | But I | Dec | |
| All Tunisia | - | - | - | - | +/- | + | + | + | + | + | - | - |
| Djerba | - | - | - | +/- | + | + | + | + | + | + | - | - |

The weather in Tunisia is almost African. Almost - because the nights can be cool and the heat is easier to bear than tourists imagine. All because of the winds blowing either from the neighboring Sahara or from the sea. It is they who “smooth out” the summer heat (the main thing is not to burn out under such a breeze) and cool the night air. And the rainy season, on the contrary, makes it especially dank.
So, we analyze each season in Tunisia by months, weather surprises and comfort level.

Tunisia blooms in spring: spring is spring in Africa too! |
In March winter rains can still fall on the heads of casual vacationers. The air temperature fluctuates indefinitely from +15°С to +25°С (5-10 degrees lower at night). It is not worth even stuttering about the water temperature yet (+15 ° С, for those who are interested).
The weather in winter in Tunisia is quite mild. Yes, it rains, but they are still replaced by a bright sun, which sometimes warms up to +17°C. In general, Tunisia in winter turns into a world (I'm not afraid of this word) health resort: in low season people come and fly here for the sake of thalasso-therapy centers.
In December it's not very rainy yet. On New Year's Eve (read: almost the whole of December), "winter" hotels lure you with discounts, and tour guides drop the price tag from $120 for the popular Sahara to $100.
In January Tunisia floods, the rainy season is in full swing. Only 10-12 bad weather days per month. The air temperature is comparable to December, +13°С. Strange, but almond trees begin to bloom, and citrus fruits ripen. By the way, even in early January there are tours to Tunisia from Moscow. And people are driving!
In February warms up to +16°C. rainy days less, especially in the south of the country. Tunisia is preparing for the arrival of spring. And new tourists.
To decide when is the best time to go, answer yourself: why are you going to Tunisia?
If you have already decided when to fly on vacation, go to the next paragraph.
The price is for one person when buying a tour for two
Take any booklet guide to Tunisia, and you will immediately be offered excursions to the ruins of Carthage, sent on a quad bike trip across the Sahara or there on camels to meet the dawn ($120 for two days, as already mentioned).
But Tunisia does not stop there. Therefore, for you, my personal selection of attractions:
The climatic conditions of Tunisia make it possible to visit it in a variety of seasons (see also:), because it attracts tourists not only with its magnificent beaches but also unique historical monuments. But the most convenient time for spending holidays here is the period from May to October. To be convinced of this, it is worth considering the Tunisian weather from the point of view of the traveler.
The flow of foreign citizens coming here reaches its maximum in the period from June to September. Only from our country at this time landings of almost 250 thousand people landed at local resorts. This season is also considered optimal for tourists from the former metropolis - France, as well as Germany and Great Britain. Our compatriots prefer to relax in and.
The mild climate and measured lifestyle of the North African country is especially favorable for family vacation with pastime. It is also extremely interesting for lovers of active relaxation on sea coast. Another highlight of the Tunisian resorts is the opportunity to undergo a course of thalassotherapy. For this purpose, a significant number of ladies of middle and Balzac age come here.
Immediately after the end of the European beach season, the flow of tourists coming to Tunisia sharply weakens. In late autumn, winter and spring, the weather here worsens. Often winds blow, carrying sand with them, it rains. However, it is no coincidence that they say that for a European, death is good for a Russian. Local beaches do not remain empty thanks to vacationers from Russia and the CIS countries. According to our ideas, the weather is quite acceptable from November to early April.
In addition to the fact that the local winter can be considered a very warm spring by Russian standards, the economic component is also of no small importance. Firstly, during this period, the prices for air tickets from most air carriers are reduced. Secondly, the cost of excursions is lowered by an order of magnitude. Thirdly, at this time, accommodation in 4 and 5-star hotels becomes quite affordable - their owners are happy with every additional tourist and give maximum discounts. Finally, it is in such comfortable hotels that the best spa centers are located, which also significantly reduce the cost of their services.
Adding all of the above, we can consider Tunisia the most economically profitable country to celebrate the New Year in exotic conditions or spend the Christmas week here. Special attention it is worth paying attention to the resorts, which will delight you with really resort opportunities among the cold in Russia winter period, which differs here in very worthy weather conditions.
Already in the first days of April, the weather in Tunisia becomes summer-like, in our understanding, warm. This is the perfect time for sunbathing. The April sun is not dangerous for the skin and you can spend at least the whole day on the beach. In general, the May tan is considered the most even and does not wash off for a long time. The first two decades of May are characterized by rather changeable weather. Although the water and air already reach quite comfortable temperatures, it often rains with thunderstorms. At such moments, the excitement on the sea increases, making normal swimming impossible.
But in June you can splash and swim as much as you like. The water temperature rises to +21 °C. June evenings are warm, and during the day the sun is already hot, but not yet burning. The beach season reaches its peak in July-August. The water warms up to +26 °C, and on the island of Djerba - even up to +28 °C. During the day it is very hot here and only evenings bring coolness. But for lovers of night swimming, a real expanse begins, giving unforgettable emotions.
This period lasts from the first days of September to the very end of October. Tourists begin to gradually leave the local beaches, as if taking with them the African and scalding heat. The water in the sea is cool only in the early morning and is quite comfortable for swimming during the day and in the evening.
Again, you can sunbathe for a long time, absorbing ultraviolet skin sun rays who become affectionate. At the end of September, the clear sky is sometimes covered with fluffy Cumulus clouds. The beginning of October is marked by warm rains, and the breeze blowing from the sea often covers the skin of bathers emerging from the water with goosebumps.
Not all tourists go to Tunisia in search of a measured beach holiday. The abundance of historical monuments is extremely attractive for educational pastime.
Any connoisseur of natural beauties will also have great impressions from excursions to the great Sahara desert or to the unique salt lake Chott el-Jerid. During such walks, you can get to know the way of life and life of the indigenous people, taste colorful dishes national cuisine, ride camels and learn a lot about desert flora and fauna.
The best period for such trips are the periods from September to November and the season March-June. The heat has not yet turned into hell, the air temperature is quite comfortable, and sandstorms have not yet been observed.
Among lovers of underwater travel, the resorts of Tunisia are very popular with Russian tourists. AT coastal waters This country has the largest coral reef in Africa, and diving off the coast of the legendary one promises interesting finds.
The main diving centers are concentrated in Tabarka, where they will be happy to meet both professionals and beginners. Each vacationer here will be taught the basics of scuba diving by qualified instructors.
The best time for diving is July, August and September. During these months sea water the most transparent. Arriving here during this period, you can take part in various maritime festivals.
The long coastline and the richness of the underwater fauna make beautiful Tunisia interesting for lovers of sea fishing. You can fish here both from the boat and directly from the shore. Travelers love hunting with a harpoon on sea sponges or catching pelagic fish attracted by the light of a lantern at night.
Going further into the sea promises magnificent trophies, which you will not be ashamed to show off to your friends. Fishing in Tunisia is possible throughout the year. Since it rains quite often in winter, we will consider the spring and summer months, as well as September and October, to be the most comfortable for doing our favorite hobby.
SPA centers in Tunisia, where you can easily get rid of hated cellulite and make your skin amazingly velvety after undergoing a course of thalassotherapy, are known far beyond the borders of the state - in Europe and Russia. However, local resorts are also ideal for recovery after major operations and injuries. For such purposes, you should come here in winter.
Firstly, the prices for procedures will be much lower, and secondly, it is better not to be in the heat during the rehabilitation period. In order to make your vacation truly comfortable, you can choose a hotel with a swimming pool, since the sea is still cool enough for swimming. As for thalassotherapy, wellness centers where such procedures are performed operate year-round.
There are many holidays in the Tunisian calendar that are usually celebrated magnificently. On such days, various spectacular events are held in cities and towns, which will be very interesting to see for any traveler. The season opens with the Hawk Hunting Festival held in El Haouaria, which attracts thousands of spectators. It is replaced by an event held in Carthage and lasting about a month and a half.
In July, it invites lovers of jazz music and leading performers working in this genre from all over the world, and Monastir and Hammamet host participants in the "Festival of Arts". At the end of the month, you can visit classical music concerts, which are given in the Colosseum, located near the capital of the country. During the same period, the “Summer Festival” begins in Sousse, it is opened by the President of Tunisia himself, and the celebrations end with an incredibly colorful carnival procession.
In August, the turn of the Arabian Horses festivals in El Batan comes, and the Oasis Festival ends the festive season. In winter, a wonderful "Bedouin Festival" is held. Representatives of this nationality come to the city of Douz from different countries. The program includes performances by folk groups and competitions in national sports.
As follows from all of the above, Tunisia can be a great place to spend your holidays at any time of the year. The variety of entertainment that it provides to visiting tourists will make your vacation incredibly exciting and rewarding!
