Hits 38°C in Tunis with sirocco from the Sahara making interior travel punishing, but Djerba and Hammamet beaches at peak season.
Sep-Oct
Sea at warmest, harvest festivals across the olive country, and Carthage international festival runs evening concerts in the Roman amphitheatre.
Nov-Mar
Mild Mediterranean winter with daytime 17°C, the best window for southern desert excursions to Tozeur and Chott el Djerid.
