7 piani per Tunisia, da 3 a 20 GB. La validità va da 1 giorno a 30 giorni. Nessuno di questi va in 5G: in Tunisia le reti che rivendiamo sono solo LTE. Preferiamo dirtelo qui, invece di fartelo scoprire all'arrivo.
5 piani possono essere ricaricati senza installare una seconda eSIM. I piani si appoggiano a OOREDOO TN.
Numeri contati sul catalogo vero, non messi lì dal marketing: sono gli stessi piani che vedi elencati qui sopra.
In Tunisia non arriva nessun pacchetto regionale: qui l'unica opzione è il piano del singolo paese, che comunque di solito costa meno.
Un'eSIM di viaggio per Tunisia è una SIM digitale che il telefono si scarica: niente tessera di plastica, niente banco da cercare in aeroporto. Compri online, tocchi il link che ti arriva per email (nella stessa email c'è anche il QR) e sul telefono compare una seconda linea, accanto alla tua SIM di sempre. Resta ferma finché non arrivi in Tunisia, poi si aggancia da sola a OOREDOO TN su LTE. Il tuo numero continua a funzionare per chiamate e SMS: l'eSIM porta solo i giga.
Mappe, messaggi e app per i taxi consumano poco: circa 300–500 MB al giorno. Se ci aggiungi foto, social e qualche video sei vicino a 1 GB al giorno. Per una settimana un piano da 5 GB sta comodo; per due settimane, o se condividi l'hotspot e guardi video, meglio 10 GB o più, oppure un piano ricaricabile che puoi rimpolpare in viaggio. I piani per Tunisia partono da 7,70 € in 4 tagli, e su ognuno trovi il prezzo al GB: il confronto lo fai in due secondi.
No. Un'eSIM di viaggio per Tunisia è un piano dati locale, non roaming internazionale: paghi in anticipo il prezzo che vedi, senza nessun conteggio al megabyte da parte del tuo operatore. Imposta l'eSIM come linea dati e spegni il roaming dati sulla SIM di casa: al ritorno non trovi sorprese in bolletta. E fino a quando non la installi ti rimborsiamo tutto, quindi comprarla in anticipo non è un rischio.
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
App per i taxi
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.
Come si paga
In breve
| 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. |
