Tunis Weather in November

November weather in Tunis

November feels mild rather than wintry, with afternoons around 21°C and cooler evenings near 13°C. Rain comes on about 10 days, so showers can interrupt a walk, but they don't usually rule out a city break. Compared with October, it's cooler and a little less rainy; December is cooler and wetter.

You can spend comfortable days exploring the Medina's lanes, the Bardo Museum or the ruins of Carthage. Save long outdoor plans for clearer spells, and don't count on a full beach day: the sea and evenings can feel cool. A café stop over mint tea makes a good pause when rain moves in.

Events and local plans

The Carthage Film Festival, known as JCC, is often held in Tunis in October or November. It's a major African and Arab film event, but its dates vary, so don't assume it falls during your visit. If it does, screenings around the city can add a lively evening to your trip.

If you hate crowds, November is a calmer choice than the summer holiday peak. The Medina and central sights are easier to enjoy at an unhurried pace, though weekends can still draw local visitors. Prices are generally lower than in peak summer, while November remains a popular shoulder-season month.

A useful November tip

At the Bardo Museum, give yourself time indoors if a shower rolls through. Its mosaics make it a particularly good rainy-day stop, and you can reach it by taxi from central Tunis. For lunch, try lablabi, a warm chickpea soup sold at local eateries; it suits a damp, cool day better than a beach picnic.
