Reviewed & updated by יהב עטיה · About the team

It's worth planning around Tunisia's holiday calendar: attractions, museums and banks close, public transport switches to a holiday timetable, and flight and hotel prices around long weekends jump. On the upside — festivals, parades and markets you won't see on an ordinary day.
