Averages for Tunis in April

April sees temperatures in Tunis begin to rise as spring comes to North Africa. This a great time of year to visit as it is quite warm without being as stiflingly hot as it can be in the summer months.

One of the main draws of Tunis at this time of year is the miles of beautiful sandy beaches. Of course you should take care to avoid sunburn and sunstroke by wearing sunscreen with a high SPF, and seeking shelter during the hottest parts of the day.

Away from the beach, there is plenty to see and do as Tunis is a city with a rich historical heritage.

Dating back an estimated 3000 years, the ancient city of Carthage can still be seen with a visit to some of the remarkably well preserved ruins.

The Medina area of the city was built up around the Zoutana Mosque from 698 and it contains many historic homes, government buildings and market places. The Hotel Carlton is located just 500m away so is the best place to stay for ease of access.

Nature lovers will enjoy a visit to the nearby Boukornine National Park, where you can hike and cycle through the countryside.

Desert safaris are also popular in the area as you can explore the traditional way of life for people living in villages in the Sahara desert.

And of course Tunis is popular all year round with golf lovers as the area contains a wealth of courses and resorts.
