Tunisia fully reopens: Here’s why you should visit its pristine beaches and ancient cities
Tunisia has dropped all remaining COVID travel restrictions three years after it first shut its borders during the pandemic.
As of last week, travellers no longer have to present vaccine passes or undergo health checks at the border.
It’s good news for those who have the stunning Mediterranean country on their bucket list.
Tunisia tempts tourists with azure waters, sand dune-filled desert and ancient ruins.

Tunisia lifted all remaining COVID travel restrictions.

Pre-departure tests for COVID are not required and there will be no testing or health checks on arrival. There is also no requirement for travellers to quarantine on arrival.
