How much data do you need in Tunisia?

Tunisia has decent Wi-Fi in hotels. Mobile data helps with taxis (no Uber — negotiate rates), navigation, and translating French/Arabic signs.

Our recommendation: 3–5 GB for a week.

Network coverage in Tunisia

All three carriers provide 4G in Tunis, coastal resorts, and Djerba. Saharan areas have limited coverage along main roads only.

Tips for using an eSIM in Tunisia

French is useful. Tunisia is francophone — Google Translate between French and English helps with menus and signs.

No Uber. Tunisia doesn't have Uber. Negotiate taxi prices before getting in, or pre-arrange transport through your hotel.
