Best time to visit

March to September is best time with sufficient supply of sunshine and just enough cold nights. No visitor would be disappointed to go sightseeing and enjoy what Tunisia has to offer.

Moderate time to visit

November to February - There may not be extremes except a few stubborn cold nights, however, it is not a bad idea to plan things and enjoy the visit.

Worst time to visit

October - Perhaps because it is some sort of a transition period, this month is better avoided, in order not to spoil the trip with unexpected weather changes.
