What should I pack for Tunisia in December?
Layers are key: a light jumper or jacket for evenings, plus a rainproof layer if visiting the north. Sunscreen is still useful – UV levels are moderate. Bring comfortable walking shoes for cities like Tunis or Sidi Bou Said.
Does it snow in Tunisia in December?
Snow is extremely rare in coastal and lowland areas. Only the high Atlas-like mountains near the Algerian border can see a dusting, but that’s not a typical tourist destination. For comparisons, see our 10-day UK forecast.
