Cheap holidays to Tunisia

Ever thought about getting a tan, some EPIC Insta pics, and maybe a souvenir camel (a keyring, obvs) without selling an arm, a leg - or even a pinkie toe? Well, we've got the cheat sheet, and Tunisia holidays are the answer. Think of this place as that one friend who always knows where to get the good deals – like those designer shoes for a car-boot-sale price (or, in our case, bangin' beach jollies for a so-low-you'll-do-a-double-take price). From sun-drenched beaches to fun-packed hotels for the whole fam, Tunisia is the kind of holiday where your money stretches like your fave pair of elastic-waist trousers. Which, btw, you'll definitely be needing here - because the food is delish 😋

Let's talk digs without the big dollar signs. Tunisia's hotel scene? It's like the snazziest sale rack you've ever seen. With action-packed resorts, cute coastal spots and Wi-Fi strong enough for those cheeky "look where I am!" video calls (probably not advised with your boss, though), this place has more than a few budget-friendly surprises up its sleeve. Plus, there are loads of things to do in Tunisia, so you can save yourself the trouble of splashing out on a big, boujee holibobs and save those extra dinars for market trinkets and beachfront camel rides instead 🏖️🐪

Cheap holidays to Tunisia for couples

Whether you're all loved up or more of a just here for the food duo (mood), Tunisia's got you covered for your next couples' holiday. Split the bill on a spicy shawarma, challenge each other to a haggle-off at the souks, or just flop on the beach and debate whose turn it is to fetch the next round of mint teas (bonus points if they come with pine nuts - proper authentic.) Who needs huge, swanky rooms when you'll hardly be in there anyway? (Well, depending what you plan on doing, but that's your business 👀) And who needs fancy, five-star dinners when you've got street food that'll have you drooling all the way back to the hotel? This is your key to a cheap holiday that's big on memories, small on spending 💰

Cheap holidays to Tunisia for families

Short flight, cheap as chips, and resorts that are properly set up for kids - Tunisia ticks a lot of boxes for a family holiday on a budget. The big all-inclusive resorts in Hammamet and Port El Kantaoui come with kids' clubs, waterslides, multiple pools and evening entertainment, all included in the price. The beaches are sandy and shelving, the food is adaptable (couscous, grilled chicken and chips are on every buffet), and the flight from the UK is only about 2.5-3 hours. It's also one of the few destinations where a genuinely good 4 or 5-star all-inclusive holiday costs less than a budget break in much of Europe.

How to make your Tunisia holiday as cheap (and brilliant) as possible

Go all-inclusive and relax - Tunisia is one of those destinations where all-inclusive genuinely makes sense. The resorts are well set up for it, the packages are cheap, and you won't need to leave the hotel unless you want to. If you do fancy a day out, excursions are dead cheap too.
The dinar is your friend - £1 gets you about 3.87 Tunisian dinar, which stretches further than you'd believe. A proper sit-down meal at a local restaurant costs about £2.50-3. A stuffed baguette from a street stall is under £1.50. Taxis across town cost a couple of quid. If you've gone all-inclusive, your spending money is basically tios (always appreciated at the hotel) souvenirs and day trips.
Haggle at the souks - market shopping in Tunisia is all about negotiation. Vendors expect it and enjoy it. Start at about a third of the asking price and work up from there. You'll walk away with hand-painted ceramics, leather goods and spices for next to nothing.
Book a Sahara day trip - a day trip to the desert from the coastal resorts costs about £20-30 per person and is genuinely one of the most memorable things you can do on a cheap holiday anywhere. Camel rides, oasis stops and Star Wars filming locations (Matmata and Chott el Jerid were used for Tatooine) are usually included.
The 2.5-hour flight makes it a bargain - for the price of a short-haul European trip, you get North African sunshine, massive all-inclusive resorts and your money going three or four times further. It's one of the best-kept secrets in budget travel.
Be aware of Ramadan - Tunisia is a Muslim country and during Ramadan (dates change each year - check before booking) some local restaurants and bars outside tourist zones may have restricted hours. Hotels and resorts operate completely normally though, so it won't affect your holiday if you're staying all-inclusive.

If you've gone all-inclusive (which most people do in Tunisia), you'll barely need any spending money at all. Budget around £50-100 per person for a week's worth of souvenirs, day trips and the odd drink or snack outside the hotel. If you're on B&B or half-board, £80-150 per person covers a week's meals, drinks and activities comfortably. A proper meal at a local restaurant costs about £2.50-3 per head, a stuffed baguette from a stall is about £1, and a taxi across town is a couple of quid.

Tunisia has been welcoming British tourists for decades and the main resort areas (Hammamet, Sousse, Port El Kantaoui, Mahdia) are well set up for tourism. The FCDO advises against travel to some border areas, but the popular tourist zones along the coast are not affected. As with any destination, use common sense - keep an eye on your belongings in busy markets and don't flash expensive items around. The resorts themselves have good security and most visitors have a brilliant, trouble-free time.

May, June, September and October are the sweet spot - proper beach weather (25-30°C), warm sea, and lower prices than peak July/August. Tunisia's season runs from about April to October, with July and August being the hottest and most expensive months. Shoulder season gives you the same beaches and sunshine with fewer crowds and cheaper flights.

Day-to-day costs are very similar to Egypt and slightly cheaper than Turkey. The big difference is that Tunisia is a shorter flight from (2.5-3 hours versus 4+ for Turkey and Egypt), which means cheaper flights and less travel time. The all-inclusive resort packages in Tunisia are consistently among the cheapest you'll find anywhere, making the total holiday cost hard to beat.
