Averages for Tunis in December

December is one of the coolest months of the year in Tunis. However, as Tunisia enjoys a Mediterranean climate, this means it is fairly warm all year round and especially mild in the winter months.

There is also a chance of experiencing rain at this time of year, so it would be a good idea to pack warmer clothes such as trousers and a light jacket.

Rain showers however do not tend to last very long so should not impede your holiday too much.

As it is out of season, accommodation will be much cheaper than during the summer months, so this is an ideal time of year to visit for a relaxing holiday away from large crowds and as respite from the coldness of the rest of Europe.

There is still plenty to see and do at this time of year.

The ancient city of Carthage is over 3000 years old and contains the remains of houses, a forum and a remarkably well preserved amphitheatre.

Many people take advantage of the cooler weather to come to Tunis and play golf. Whether you head to one of the courses such as Golf de Carthage or one of the golf resorts like Wonder Golf Hotel, there is something for every level of golf lover.

Nearby Boukornine National Park is worth visiting while the weather is mild to do some hiking and cycling while exploring the scenery.

And back in the city you can visit the ancient buildings of the Medina, the oldest part of the city that contains many buildings built in traditional Islamic style. For ease of access, stay at the Hotel Carlton, located in an art deco building just 500m from the Medina.
