Your eSIM for Tunisia - Tunis, Hammamet and Djerba
One plan covers Tunisia, so the same eSIM works in Tunis, the Hammamet and Sousse resorts and on the island of Djerba. Install it before you travel and you skip the local SIM kiosk and its passport-registration step.
Getting online at Tunis, Djerba and Enfidha
The eSIM connects when you switch off airplane mode at Tunis (TUN), Djerba (DJE) or Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE), the main resort gateway. Your transfer and maps are ready before you leave the terminal.
Coverage in the cities and resorts
Tunisia's networks (Ooredoo, Tunisie Telecom and Orange) cover the coast, the resort areas and the cities with solid 4G. Coverage fades towards the Sahara and remote desert spots, so download offline maps before excursions south.
Tunisia from the UK: no visa, but mind the dinars
British passport holders can visit Tunisia for up to 90 days without a visa; your passport needs to be valid for the whole stay, and you should make sure it is stamped on arrival. Border officers may ask for a hotel booking and a return ticket. Hotels charge a tourist tax of 8 dinars a night at three stars and 12 at four and five stars, for up to 10 nights.
Tunisia has strict currency controls: you cannot take dinars out of the country, so change only what you need and keep the official exchange receipts. The Foreign Office also notes that power cuts can briefly take out cash machines and card payments (gov.uk, updated 24 July 2026).
Flights, time and your UK plan
Enfidha, for Hammamet and Sousse, is two and a half to three hours away: Jet2 flies there from Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Stansted and Manchester, and easyJet and TUI from Glasgow and Bristol. easyJet flies Luton to Djerba, and Tunisair flies to Tunis from Heathrow and Gatwick. Tunisia is on UK time in British Summer Time and one hour ahead in winter. Sockets are the European two-pin kind.
On a UK plan, EE charges £8 a day (£40 for a week), Three £7 a day, and O2 has no O2 Travel pass for Tunisia - only data bolt-ons from £26 for 100MB. Vodafone's eight-day passes run from £15 for 50MB to £60 for 1GB.
