How much does a Tunisia trip cost?

3-star hotel or boutique riad: €50–€80. Lunches and dinners at proper restaurants: €25–€35. Taxis and Bolt: €5–€10. One paid activity per day (museum, hammam, beach club): €5–€20. This is the realistic 'comfortable independent traveller' budget — eat well, stay in places with character, take a private driver for one or two days, do the desert in a shared 4×4. A 10-day trip lands around €900–€1,200 per person plus flights.

If you book a flight + 4-star AI package: a 7-night all-inclusive in Hammamet typically lands at €600–€900 per person including flights from Europe in shoulder season. That's ~€85–€130/day total cost. Outside the resort you'll spend €15–€30/day on the occasional Bolt, drink in town and shopping. The AI route is by far the cheapest way to get a relaxed beach week — and in Tunisia the buffet quality at the better operators is genuinely good.

Two adults, mid-range, October. Flights from Paris (return): €240/person × 2 = €480. Hotels (3 nights Tunis riad + 2 nights Tozeur boutique + 2 nights Sidi Bou Said): €640. Desert excursion (2 days, shared 4×4, camp included): €280/person × 2 = €560. Meals & drinks (€35/person/day × 7): €490. Taxis, museum entries, hammam (€20/person/day × 7): €280. Misc / shopping budget: €200. Total for two: €2,650 — or €1,325 per person, all-in for a week.

Travel in shoulder season (May, June, late Sep, Oct) — flights and hotels both ~30% cheaper than peak summer. Use Bolt instead of taxis — locked prices, no negotiation, 20–30% cheaper. Eat lunch as your big meal — many great Tunisian restaurants have a fixed lunch menu at half the dinner price. Louages (shared vans) instead of taxis or trains for intercity transport — €3–€8 across the country. Direct-book your boutique hotel — most offer 5–10% off if you skip Booking.com. Flights + AI package vs. flights alone — for a beach week the package is almost always cheaper.
