7 planes para Túnez, de 3 a 20 GB. La validez va de 1 día a 30 días. Ninguno de estos funciona con 5G — en las redes que revendemos, Túnez es solo LTE. Preferimos decírtelo aquí antes de que te enteres al llegar.
5 planes se pueden recargar sin necesidad de instalar una segunda eSIM. Los planes funcionan en OOREDOO TN.
Son cuentas hechas sobre nuestro catálogo real, no una cifra de marketing: la lista de planes que tienes más arriba sale de esos mismos datos.
Ningún paquete regional cubre Túnez: aquí la única opción es un plan de un solo país, que además suele ser el más barato.
Una eSIM de viaje para Túnez es una SIM digital que se descarga tu móvil: sin tarjeta de plástico y sin mostrador en el aeropuerto. La compras por internet, tocas el enlace de instalación que te mandamos por email (en ese mismo email va también un código QR) y se instala como una segunda línea junto a la SIM que ya tienes. Se queda dormida hasta que llegas a Túnez y entonces se conecta sola a OOREDOO TN con LTE. Tu número de siempre sigue funcionando para llamadas y SMS; la eSIM solo se encarga de los datos.
Los mapas, los mensajes y las apps de transporte gastan poquísimo: unos 300–500 MB al día. Si le sumas fotos, redes sociales y algún vídeo suelto, te vas más cerca de 1 GB diario. Para una semana, con 5 GB vas sobrado; para dos semanas, si compartes internet o si tiras mucho de vídeo, mejor 10 GB o más, o un plan recargable que puedas ampliar sobre la marcha. Los planes de Túnez empiezan en 7,70 € y hay 4 tamaños, cada uno con su precio por GB a la vista para que aciertes sin calculadora.
No. Una eSIM de viaje para Túnez es un plan de datos local, no roaming internacional: pagas el precio que ves y tu operador no te pasa ninguna factura por megabyte. Pon la eSIM como línea de datos, desactiva el roaming en tu SIM de siempre y al volver a casa no habrá sustos. Y como te devolvemos el dinero mientras no la instales, comprarla con antelación no tiene ningún riesgo.
Couscous
Steamed semolina under a stew of lamb, fish or vegetables, hotter and more tomato-heavy than the Moroccan version. Sfax and the coast do it with fish. The knowledge and practices around couscous are on the UNESCO intangible heritage list.
Family restaurants on a Friday, when it is the standard midday meal.
Harissa
Chilli paste with garlic, caraway and coriander, made from sun-dried peppers. It is on the table at every meal and its preparation was inscribed by UNESCO as intangible heritage in its own right.
Markets sell it loose by weight; every restaurant brings it with bread and olive oil before you order.
Brik
A sheet of malsouka pastry folded around a whole raw egg with tuna, parsley and capers, then deep fried. Eaten immediately and by hand, at an angle, so the yolk does not escape.
Everywhere, as a starter. Ramadan tables are not complete without it.
Lablabi
Chickpeas in a garlic and cumin broth ladled over torn stale bread, then finished with harissa, olive oil, a poached egg, tuna and capers. Assembled in the bowl in front of you.
Dedicated lablabi shops in the medinas, open from early morning. Winter breakfast food.
Ojja
Eggs poached in a tomato, pepper and harissa base, usually with merguez sausage or prawns, eaten straight from the pan with bread.
Cheap restaurants and beachfront places; the prawn version on the coast.
Salade mechouia
Peppers, tomatoes and garlic grilled over flame until the skins blacken, then peeled and chopped with olive oil and topped with tuna and boiled egg. Smoky rather than fresh.
Every restaurant, as a starter.
Kafteji
Peppers, courgette, pumpkin, potato and tomato fried separately, then chopped together on a board with egg. Street food, sold from a small counter and eaten in bread.
Kafteji counters in Tunis and Sousse; watch the chopping.
Makroudh
Diamonds of semolina dough packed with date paste, fried and soaked in honey. Kairouan is the city associated with them and sells them by the box.
Kairouan, from the shops around the Great Mosque.
Bambalouni
A ring of deep-fried dough rolled in sugar, handed over hot in paper. Simple and specifically associated with one place.
The stand at the top of the steps in Sidi Bou Said, where there is usually a queue.
Mint tea with pine nuts
Strong sweet tea with fresh mint and a spoonful of pine nuts floating on top, which you eat at the end. Almonds are the alternative.
Cafes in every medina; the terrace cafes at Sidi Bou Said look over the gulf.
Medina of TunisTunis
A UNESCO-listed walled old city of covered souks organised by trade, with the Zitouna Mosque at the centre and merchant houses turned into cafes and workshops. Dense, and easy to lose your bearings in, which is the point.
a day
Bardo MuseumTunis
One of the largest collections of Roman mosaics anywhere, lifted from villas across the country and installed in a former palace. It gives the ruins you visit afterwards their floors back.
half a day
CarthageCarthage
The Punic and Roman city on the coast north of Tunis, spread across several separate sites — the Antonine Baths on the shore, Byrsa hill, the ports. It is scattered, so allow travel time between them.
a day
Sidi Bou SaidSidi Bou Said
A clifftop village of whitewashed walls and blue doors above the Gulf of Tunis, on the same light rail line as Carthage. Crowded by mid-morning and much better early or late.
half a day
El JemEl Jem
A Roman amphitheatre standing almost intact in the middle of a modern town, among the largest ever built and startling because there is nothing around it to prepare you.
half a day
KairouanKairouan
The oldest Muslim city in North Africa, with the Great Mosque's plain, massive courtyard, the Aghlabid water basins, and a medina known for carpets and makroudh.
a day
DouggaTéboursouk
The most complete Roman town in North Africa, spread over a hillside with its capitol, theatre and streets still legible, and open country in every direction. Far fewer visitors than the coastal sites.
a day
DjerbaDjerba
A flat southern island of white villages and fortified mosques, UNESCO-listed, with El Ghriba — one of the oldest synagogues in Africa and the focus of an annual pilgrimage — and the market at Houmt Souk.
two days
MatmataMatmata
Houses dug as pits into the ground with rooms cut off the sides, built for the heat and still lived in. Familiar to a great many visitors from a film set that was built in one of them.
half a day
Tozeur and the mountain oasesTozeur
A brick-patterned desert town beside a vast palm oasis, the gateway to the Chott el Djerid salt flat and the gorge oases of Chebika, Tamerza and Mides against the Algerian border.

Louage
Shared long-distance cars that leave when the seats are full rather than to a timetable, from a dedicated station in each town. The stripe tells you the range: red for intercity, blue for regional. This is how most Tunisians travel.
low
TGM light rail
The line from Tunis Marine station out along the lagoon to La Marsa, stopping at Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. Old, slow and the single most useful piece of transport for a visitor to Tunis.
very low
Train
SNCFT runs the main line down the coast from Tunis through Sousse and Sfax toward Gabès, plus the metro léger tram network within Tunis. Comfortable enough in first class and cheap.
low
Intercity coach
SNTRI and regional companies run coaches to the towns the railway does not reach, including the desert south. Slower than a louage but with a fixed departure time and a reserved seat.
low
Car hire
The practical choice for Dougga, the mountain oases and the south. Roads on the main routes are good, police checkpoints are frequent and routine, and you should carry your documents. Desert tracks require a 4x4 and, in some border areas, a permit and a guide.
moderate
Apps de transporte
Yassir, inDrive, Heetch
Ride-hailing here has an unsettled legal status — Bolt was suspended and withdrew from the country, and the mix of apps operating has changed more than once. Check what is working when you arrive rather than relying on one name. The yellow metered taxis remain the fallback everywhere; insist on the meter, and expect a surcharge at night.
Cómo se paga
Lo básico
| Revolution and Youth Day | 14 January | Marks 2011. Public holiday with commemorations on Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis. |
| Independence Day | 20 March | Public holiday marking independence from France in 1956. |
| Ramadan | the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, moving about eleven days earlier each year | Not a public holiday but the strongest influence on daily rhythm. Many cafes and restaurants close during daylight outside tourist areas, hours shorten, and evenings after iftar are busy and enjoyable. Tunisia is more relaxed about visitors eating than the Gulf states, but discretion outside tourist zones is appreciated. |
| Eid al-Fitr | at the end of Ramadan, moving about eleven days earlier each year | Several days of holiday. Louages and coaches are packed as people travel to family, and many businesses close. |
| Martyrs' Day and Labour Day | 9 April and 1 May | Two public holidays a few weeks apart; offices and banks closed. |
| Eid al-Adha | in the twelfth Islamic month, moving about eleven days earlier each year | Several days of holiday with heavy domestic travel and sheep sold in every town in the run-up. |
| Republic Day | 25 July | Public holiday at the height of the beach season; the coastal resorts are at their fullest. |
| Women's Day | 13 August | A public holiday marking the 1956 personal status code, which is a genuine point of national pride. |
