Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Tunis
For the vast majority of international and domestic arrivals, Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN) serves as the primary gateway, conveniently situated within the city itself. It offers the most efficient transit options into the heart of Tunis. Other airports listed are located in neighboring cities and serve different needs. Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport (NBE), located in the vicinity of Hammamet, is a popular secondary hub for seasonal tourism and requires a significant road transfer to reach the capital. Similarly, Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (MIR) serves the Monastir and Sousse coastal regions, making it less practical for those headed directly to Tunis unless taking a private taxi. Tabarka–Aïn Draham International Airport (TBJ) is situated in the northwest and involves a lengthy overland journey, while Pantelleria Airport (PNL) is located on an Italian island and requires complex, multi-modal travel involving ferries. We recommend focusing on the Tunis-Carthage airport for the smoothest experience, reserving the other options only if you have specific regional itineraries or budget-flight constraints.

Good location. But some dirtiness around the room and the bed is dusty. Hard to get the hot water and the toilet is stuffed. I hope the hotel management cares more about rooms cleanliness and repairing.FromUS$53

Tunis|1.81km from city center
Overall, it is close to the airport, clean, no carpet in the room, newly renovated. There is no elevator, and you have to carry your luggage yourself. The most incredible thing is that the shower room does not have a water retaining bar. The toilet leaks after a shower and the floor is full of water. It is recommended that you can live without a shower for one night.FromUS$53

Perfect location. The hotel is spotless throughout, with compact but very clean rooms. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was good and enjoyed at the rooftop facility. Staff members are friendly and helpful, and getting around as a tourist is very easy. The 24-hour reception is a great bonus, and the cleaners do an excellent job. Highly recommended. A small fridge in the room would be a great additionFromUS$56

El Khadra|2.07km from city center
The hotel is located in a very safe and clean area. They provide a parking in the basement for free. The hotel is very clean and smells good everywhere. The staff are very helpful and support you in calling taxis and carrying luggage. The rooms are well equipped. Bring your own slippers. I booked a triple room for my two daughters and me and they upgraded for free to an executive suite. It was very cozy. The breakfast formula has many options so that you create your meal as you want to. It is close to many sites that you may plan to visit.
We truly enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend the hotel.FromUS$84

The location is in the center of Medina. You need to pass through the market to arrive. After all, it is an African country, which is a bit scary.

Great location and very kind staff, let me check in early and left me in peace for the duration of my stay. Hotel is a little dated and amenities are a little basic but it’s cosy and has nice views. Balcony door didn’t open but wasn’t too much of an issue. For the price and location this is a good option.FromUS$44

A pleasant stay. Lake Tunis in front of the hotel is beautiful, and you can enjoy the lake view from your room balcony. The hotel lobby is grand, and the staff at the front desk, restaurant, and guest rooms were all very friendly. The breakfast ingredients were fresh. Although it's relatively close to the airport, you can barely hear the noise of planes taking off and landing when the doors and windows are closed. Standing on the balcony, you can hear the planes taking off and landing, but the noise isn't loud, and it seems like there aren't many flights taking off and landing each day.FromUS$152

Hôtel Belvédère Fourati is conveniently located close to the airport, within a 10-minute drive. There is no hotel shuttle and, if you ask, the hotel will charge you more than you would pay for a taxi. All hotel staff are friendly and willing to help you with anything. The rooms were clean and up to a world standard. Presently surprised with a fruit basket on our arrival, had tasty dates. There is a shisha bar next door and many other places nearby to eat. I would highly recommend it for other guests to stay.FromUS$87
