When is the best time to fly to Tunisia? Holiday season in Tunisia. What is the best month to visit Tunisia? Tunisia when it is better to relax in which month

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.

Off-season in Tunisia, as, probably, everywhere, the best time for "ride-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 different places the climate may differ (as well as the concepts of season / off-season).

Weather in Tunisia by months - 2019

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 in March, April and May

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).

Tunisia in June, July and August

Tunisia in September, October and November

Tunisia in December, January and February

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.

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°C. 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°С. There are fewer rainy days, especially in the south of the country. Tunisia is preparing for the arrival of spring. And new tourists.

When is the best time to visit Tunisia?

To decide when is the best time to go, answer yourself: why are you going to Tunisia?

Wanna catch holiday season and come off to the fullest? Then tune in for the summer months (preferably June), the end of May or the beginning of September. The weather won't let you down. Personally for me best month for holidays in Tunisia - September!
Do you dream of putting another tick on the world map “I was here, I saw it”? Can't wait until you personally photograph all the ruins, see a live camel and bring 100,500 souvenirs? Then welcome to Tunisia in April or October. This is the most suitable period for excursions. And traders in local markets are more accommodating at this time.
The beach season in Tunisia does not interest you, do you just want to relax your body and soul, smeared with life-giving mud? Come winter. When does it end good weather, and the rains disperse the numbers of late bathers, it's time for complete relaxation

What to see in Tunisia?

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:

Cape Angela is the northernmost point of the African continent, the most convenient way to get there is from Bizerte. And better in spring(because it's prettier).
Lake Chott el Jerid - salt Lake with red-violet water and mirages. Located in the central part of the country. Visit in the summer, when the drying water creates those same mirages.
Natural Park "Ishkel" - the lake of the same name in the park is fed by hot mineral springs, in which you can dive for 20 minutes. Why not an addition to the resort SPA?
Of course, the village of Tatooine! About it, too, is in any brochure. But I'm a fan" star wars", so forgive me. You must definitely go there!
Zaghouan Park at the foot of the Zaghouan Mountains. In addition to the mountains themselves, people go there to see the Temple of Water, from which the ancient water supply system of local cities began.

Tunisia is a relatively small country, and if we also take into account that over a third of its territory has long been conquered by the Sahara desert, then it becomes quite tiny. And almost all of this large territory as if sprawled along the coast of the beautiful mediterranean sea. Tunisia is rightfully considered a Europeanized country, but with its own national flavor. The number of tourists coming to Tunisia is in the millions. First of all, they are attracted here by the most amazing snow-white beaches and the purest turquoise sea water, fantastically green oases that have grown up like paradise islands in the middle of an endless desert, the history of the country, which has more than three thousand years, and, of course, a large number of thalassotherapy centers.

Over 3.5 million people visit Tunisia every year, but the largest part vacationers account for high season from April to October. During this period, Tunisia has the most favorable weather for a comfortable beach holiday. To relax in the resorts of Tunisia, mainly the French (a former colonial country), Great Britain and Russia come. Russia occupies an honorable fourth place in the list of countries that provide an influx of tourists to the country. Approximately 245 thousand Russians come to Tunisia every year, and most often they go to the resorts of Hamammet and Sousse. A lot of couples with children come here, for whom beautiful beaches with a gentle entrance to the water and a mild climate are perfect.

Young people also come here with pleasure, propagandizing healthy lifestyle life, and lovers of ancient structures and centuries-old secrets. Such representatives, by the way, are in any age category. Separately, it is worth mentioning the beautiful half of humanity, who comes to Tunisia solely for the sake of healing thalassotherapy procedures.

The low season in Tunisia begins immediately after the end of the swimming season, it starts in November and ends in early April. Of course, in winter time the weather here worsens significantly, dusty winds often blow and it rains, but for Russians with their harsh winters and this weather is considered good. Winter in Tunisia is really very warm. Therefore, even at this time there are vacationers in Tunisian resorts. Of course, the tourist flow is somewhat weakening, but hotels even at this time of the year are not empty.

This period is convenient for recreation in that air travel will cost much cheaper, prices for exciting excursions also decrease, and, finally, this period is considered the most favorable for SPA procedures. This is because Tunisian four and five star hotels significantly reduce the cost of living, prices are also reduced for wellness procedures. As a result, such a vacation is two times cheaper than in the same type of European resorts. Enterprising tour operators even offer real spa tours, because in the low season they have the widest choice.

AT last years New Year's Eve celebrations in Tunisia are also becoming increasingly popular. After all, this country, unlike other Muslim countries, observes many European traditions, especially those related to holidays. Meet New Year tourists mainly go to the island of Djerba, because there are all the necessary conditions for a fun celebration.

As such beach season in Tunisia usually opens already in the first days of April, when affectionate spring weather gives vacationers the very first and really warm days already. Then the locals begin to dress in lighter clothes. However, only the most hardened people swim at this time, and the majority of tourists still prefer to sunbathe in the pleasant and gentle sun. Since April tan, like May tan, is quite safe, you can lie on the beach without fear for days on end. But in the month of May there is already a sharp warming trend, both in water temperature and in air temperature. However, at this time the weather is still very capricious and brings surprises in the form of rains with thunderstorms, and at this time there are strong unrest at sea.

And already starting from June, the amount of precipitation is sharply reduced and the real bathing season. The water temperature in the sea, however, is still not quite warm, somewhere + 21 ° С, but nevertheless, June is considered the best summer month in Tunisia - it is already quite warm in the evenings, and in daytime the air is warmed up by hot, but not yet so aggressive Sun rays. In the subsequent summer months– July and August the swimming season reaches its peak. Sea water the hot African sun warms up to a temperature of +25…+26°C, and on the island of Jebka the water is even hotter - +26…+28°C. In the evenings, a pleasant coolness comes, and the water is still very warm, so night swimming in the light of the moon brings a lot of pleasure to vacationers.

I must say that the Tunisians themselves consider the velvet season to be the most favorable time for a beach holiday. It continues from the very beginning of September, and ends at the end of October. In addition, starting from the very first days of autumn, the beaches gradually become empty, the summer heat subsides and absolute calm begins to dominate on the beaches. The temperature of the water in the sea is still quite pleasant, but in the morning it is somewhat invigorating. The sun in September is very gentle and even gentle. You can safely sunbathe for hours without fear of burning and engage in various types water sports.

Already towards the end of September, white fluffy clouds begin to appear in the sky, which for some time hide the sun. And in early October it becomes noticeably cooler, and it’s already cold to leave the sea in the company of a refreshing breeze. This month, autumn begins to seriously come into its own, and the heavy rains. Therefore, the month of October in Tunisia is already in more considered to be a tour. And when the weather permits, you can lie a little on the beach.

African exotic with French charm, this is how you can characterize a small country sprawled along the Mediterranean coast. Millions of tourists flock here to enjoy the snow-white beaches and the turquoise sea, immerse themselves in history on the ruins of ancient cities and experience healing properties sea gifts in thalassotherapy centers. When is the best time to fly to Tunisia? Consider the holiday seasons in this amazing country by months.

Weather in Tunisia

The Republic of Tunisia is located in the northeast African continent. Due to its great extent, the country is located in two climatic zones: subtropical and tropical. The weather here is influenced on the one hand by the Mediterranean Sea, which softens the air on the coast, and on the other hand, by the Sahara Desert, which brings heat in summer.

In general, the climate of the country is warm and humid throughout the year. The temperature difference in the north and south is small, in the northern points of Tunisia it is usually 2-4ºС cooler than in the south. The farther from the sea - the less precipitation and more arid territories.

In the north of the country the climate is temperate, Mediterranean. In summer it is hot and dry here, the air warms up to 32-35ºС, but sea wind softens the heat. In winter it is relatively cool (12-15ºС) and rainy. At night, the thermometer can drop to 7ºС, in mountainous areas there are frosts. Spring pleases the eye with flowers and greenery, and in autumn comes the soft velvet season.

dominated in the southern regions hot climate, determined by proximity tropical deserts. Often, sirocco winds blow from the desert side, raising the air temperature even higher. It rains here only in winter, and the temperature rarely drops below 17ºС. In summer, the sand is hot, and the thermometer rises to 40ºС. More scarce in the south and flora.

When choosing a resort in Tunisia, consider its location. So, in the north of the country, the beach season lasts from May to October, and in the south, the holiday season lasts a little longer. Let's analyze the holiday season in Tunisia in more detail.

Beach season in Tunisia - when does it start

The beach season opens in spring, at this time you can already sunbathe, but do not swim - the water in the sea is still cool. Tunisia is great for a beach holiday in summer - clear weather, warm and calm sea, no rain. September-October are considered the velvet season, the summer heat gradually subsides, and the sea is still warm.

April in Tunisia

In April, Tunisia is immersed in greenery, exotic flowers delight the eye and intoxicate with aromas. During the day, the sun is a little hot, the temperature rises to 22-25 ° C, so it is already quite possible to lie under gentle sun and get a golden tan. The sea is calmer and cleaner. But it's too early to swim, because it does not have time to warm up properly. The water temperature on the coast is around 16°C. The evenings are quite cold, the thermometer drops to 13°C. So be sure to take warm clothes with you. Also at this time it is not uncommon south winds from the Sahara, which raise clouds of sand and dust.

The advantages of a holiday in Tunisia in April are low prices. Hotels offer significant discounts to tourists. This is great time for excursions and acquaintance with the culture and history of the country. You can also go surfing or get well in famous centers thalassotherapy.

May in Tunisia

If you do not like extreme heat, then May is great for a holiday in Tunisia. There are still very few tourists, the beaches and the most famous sights are not crowded. No sweltering summer heat. During the day, the air warms up to 25-27°C, in the south of the country - up to 30°C. But in the evening you will want to wear a long-sleeve sweater - after sunset the wind is quite cool.

Swimming in the first half of the month is still not very comfortable, the water temperature is only 17-19°C. Only by the end of the month will the swimming season begin, when the water on the coast warms up to 21 ° C, and then in the capital region and the resorts closest to the city of Tunisia.

While it's still not too hot, you can go on an excursion to the famous Sahara Desert or visit interesting places countries: the Colosseum in El-Jem, the mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba in Monastir, the ruins of Carthage, the mosque of Uqba in Kaiurana and many others.

May is strawberry season. It can be bought at the market for ridiculous prices. Also on the shelves are melons, watermelons, peaches, apricots, oranges, cherries and plums. If you get to the colorful holidays: the Rose Festival in Ariyana and the Spring Festival in the resort town of Tabarka, be sure to visit the fair where you can buy rose oil, honey, tea and other flower products.

June

In June, Tunisia opens a high tourist season, which affects the cost of rest. The beaches fill up and the water is very comfortable for swimming: warming up from 21°C to 24°C.

During the day it is quite hot and the sun bakes, so do not forget about sunscreen and hats. The thermometer in early June shows 29-30°C.

Diving enthusiasts should choose resorts in the north of the country: Bizerte and Tabarka. Traveling around the country is best planned for the first half of the month. The closer to July, the hotter. By the end of the month, the air heats up to 35-37°C, in the south - up to 42°C. And the nights no longer bring coolness, the air cools down only to 25-26°C.

This month you can safely buy watermelons and melons, now they are very tasty and very cheap. Please note that June is the month strict fast Ramadan. locals do not eat or drink before sunset. Tourists should show respect - you should not eat, drink and smoke on the streets of cities.

July

In July, the tourist season is in full swing. The heat is coming to Tunisia. Hot sand and warm sea attract beach lovers. Indeed, water is like fresh milk: the Mediterranean Sea heats up to 23-26°C. And don't forget to take slates - walking barefoot on the sand is no longer very comfortable.

Daytime temperatures in Bizerte and Tabarka average 30°C above zero. In Tunisia and Hammamet, the thermometer rises to 32°C. On the island of Jebra and in Kaiurana it is even hotter - up to 39-41°C.

Tourists spend most of their vacation on the coast, but excursion trips hard to bear because of the heat. That, however, does not stop Russian tourists. The best time to go for walks is in the evening when the heat subsides a bit. But African nights are also very warm (27-29°C), so tourists will not need extra things.

And July is very rich in events. Musical, dance, theatrical, sports festivals with costume processions and spectacular performances attract tourists from all over the world.

August

August in Tunisia is the season of great heat. The stuffiness is felt even on the coast. And the water is no longer refreshing, the sea temperature off the coast is 26-27°C. It is not safe for health to be on the beach during the day, it is better to sunbathe and swim before 11 am and after four in the afternoon. However, daily highs of 32-35 ° C do not scare tourists at all - hotels and beaches are full, and vacation prices are maximum. More moderate weather is established in the northern part of the country, and the water is a little cooler here.

It is better not to go to the desert at this time: the air temperature here often exceeds 40°C, sometimes reaching a peak value of 50°C in the shade. The heat begins to subside slightly only towards the end of the month.

Another danger that vacationers in Tunisia may face in August is jellyfish sailing to the coast from Morocco and Algeria. The higher the water temperature, the more they multiply and the more they interfere with tourists. Moreover, it is impossible to foresee their invasion: sometimes there are very few of them, and in some years they literally occupy the coast, which is impossible even to plunge into the sea. Some hotels even protect the beach with a special mesh from jellyfish.

August may be interesting for tourists and the fact that at this time (the date of the holiday is determined by lunar calendar and sometimes falls in September) Muslims celebrate a major religious holiday sacrifices - Aid Kbir (in Russia it is called Eid al-Adha). Tunisian families try to buy Alsheyya (rams) in advance, sometimes they do it by splitting up for several families. On the day of the holiday, the ram is slaughtered, and barbecue is prepared from it, so that by evening the cities are buried in the aromas of meat roasted on fire.

September

According to tourists, September is one of best periods for relax. Autumn in Tunisia is warm and suitable for both weather-sensitive people and young children. Prices for tours and hotels are slightly reduced.

After exhausting August, the intense heat subsides, the sun bakes not so much anymore, and it becomes more than comfortable to sunbathe and swim on the beach. If passive recreation does not appeal to you, you can safely go on excursions. The air in Tunisia warms up to 32°C by noon, the sea is still very pleasant (25°C). Since the middle of the month, even greater coolness has already been felt, especially in the north of the country, the winds are getting stronger, which surfers cannot help but appreciate. When choosing a place for a beach holiday, it is better to stay in the resort town of Sousse or Jebra Island.

Market stalls in September are bursting with oranges and tangerines, apples and pears, melons and watermelons. In September, pomegranates also ripen in Tunisia.

October

October in Tunisia is in full swing velvet season, this is a pretty good time for a beach holiday, excursions and active entertainment.

During the day the air warms up to 22-27°C. Evenings bring coolness, the temperature drops to 21 ° C, so do not forget a tippet or a light jacket.

When the weather is not conducive to swimming, you can go to the Sahara, visit the salt lake Chott el-Jerid and national parks.

It is better to plan a trip for the first half of the month. In the second half of October, rains begin, in some cases quite heavy. Even if there is no precipitation, the sky is increasingly cloudy.

In October, in Tunisia, you can taste sugar dates, it is by this time that a new harvest is ripening in the country.

November

In November, summer finally leaves Tunisia. Along with the cooling (during the day the thermometer reaches only 21-22°C), the sea also cools down (18°C). It rains more and more often, the air becomes humid, they blow from the desert strong winds, often leading to a storm at sea. It gets quite chilly at night, so a warm jacket is indispensable. An umbrella and waterproof shoes should become indispensable companions of a tourist.

You should not even think about a beach holiday in Tunisia in November. The only people who come here for the sea are the surfers. Open for other tourists excellent opportunities to explore the country. Even in the Sahara, you can already safely go with children. And you can swim in the hotel. Heated pools are a common practice here.

Holiday prices in November fall by 30-50%, so Tunisia in November is a pretty good option for an educational vacation.

Winter in Tunisia

The African winter, of course, is different from the Russian one. The earth saturated with moisture strikes with an abundance of greenery, and the air is fresh, citrus fruits, pomegranates and dates ripen.

In December, the thermometer shows 17°C during the day and 10°C at night. So during the day you can walk in a T-shirt, and in the evening you should already put on a jacket. It rains in the north of the country, but not infrequently in the south sandstorms. The sea is stormy, the water is cold, algae are everywhere, so swimming is possible only in pools.

In January, even frosts are possible in the mountains, and the peaks are covered with snow. However, in sunny days some tourists even manage to sunbathe on the coast. The average daily temperature in January is 16°C. And at this time you can admire the flowering almond and orange trees.

In February, the weather in Tunisia is unstable. The day is getting warmer, but the night is still cool. Fogs, rains and cloudy skies brighten up only a riot of natural colors.

What to do in Tunisia in winter? This is a great time for sightseeing and health tourism. There are no queues to museums and temples, you can safely immerse yourself in the rich world of Tunisian history or appreciate the natural beauties of an African country.

The world-famous thalassotherapy centers work all year round and it is at this time that economical Europeans try to get out here. Moreover, the prices for hotels and treatment are now the most affordable. It is believed that "treatment by the sea": water, sea mud, algae and stones - removes toxins, rejuvenates the skin and relieves many health problems. If you are traveling to Tunisia for the purpose of treatment, then you should pay attention to such resort centers as Hammamet, Sousse and the island of Djerba.

Usually these are hotels of well-known international chains, but there are also local brands whose service is just as good. The most common category hotels 4 or 5 stars.

You should definitely wander around the capital's medina, look at and take fantastic pictures in the blue and white city, feed the giraffe at the Phrygia Zoo.

Currency

Currency of Tunisia - Tunisian dinar. One Tunisian dinar is divided into 1000 millimeters and is equal to approximately 50 cents.

What to bring

The three most popular souvenirs from Tunisia - olive oil, ceramics and desert rose.

Olive oil has been produced in Tunisia for a very long time; endless olive plantations can be seen along the roads. Several varieties of olives grow in the country, so all kinds of oil are sold. It is only important to pay attention to acidity - it should not be lower than 1%.

"Desert Rose" is a beautiful souvenir that can only be found in countries North Africa. These are sand, salt and gypsum pressed by the wind, which form amusing shapes that look like flowers. The average price for one "rose" - one dinar, but you can bargain and get a bunch for a piglet.

Kitchen

Tunisia long time was under the rule of France, and this left a big imprint on national cuisine. For example, they still serve the freshest and most delicious baguette for breakfast and they know how to make croissants very well. Chefs are also good at dishes from cereals and legumes- for example, chickpeas or couscous. But with meat, everything is much sadder. Mainly mutton, cooked in the oven and generously flavored with spices so that it is almost impossible to recognize lamb.

Boiled vegetables (also with spices) are at a premium here. What Tunisians have no equal in is sweets. Nuts in honey, baklava, Turkish delight, nougat - you can’t list everything!

Transport

developed in Tunisia bus and train service as well as a taxi service. You can travel between cities by bus or train. The national carrier that controls the electric trains offers cars of varying degrees of comfort. Tickets are quite expensive - from 9 to 20 dinars. An amazing metro runs in the capital, like two drops of water similar to interconnected trams - almost all lines are ground, there are no transfers between them.

In resort towns, it is best to move from point A to point B by Taxi. It is very important to know a few rules in order not to end up on the outskirts of the city without money. First, remember that getting into a taxi is paid (about 250 millimeters). Secondly, always ask to reset and turn on the counter. Thirdly, be prepared for a rather dashing driving style. At night, a taxi rises in price by 50% - from 21:00 to 5:00 there is a special tariff. In general, traveling by taxi is convenient and very inexpensive, if you follow all the rules. A trip from to, for example, will cost about 4 dinars, and from a coastal hotel to the city center, to the medina - 2-3 dinars.

Charters with Russian tourists also land at Habib Bourguiba Airport in Monastir. Before

Security

In 2015, another revolution shook Tunisia and the unrest has not yet passed. On excursions you can see fortified police and military vehicles. From time to time, local radicals arrange clashes, most often this happens in the capital, in resort towns such a rarity. After the sad case of a terrorist attack on a hotel, the resort administration has stepped up security - the territories are equipped with video cameras, the hotels are guarded by people in uniform.
