The best eSIM for Tunisia in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Tunisia, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $20.99, a month for $39.99, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell a Tunisia plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a few days in Tunis, a week on the beach in Hammamet or Djerba, two weeks on the loop from Carthage to El Jem and the south, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited.

A first trip to Tunisia is often a week on the coast, or ten days to two weeks on the loop: Tunis, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said, then south to Kairouan and El Jem, on to the ksour around Tataouine and across to Djerba. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $59, Saily $59.99 and Holafly $64.90; Ubigi asks $49 for 30 GB at full speed. Nomad stops its Tunisia unlimited at 10 days, at $33. For a month, Saily asks $98.99, Airalo $99 and Holafly $113.90, and Ubigi sells no Tunisia month, only its global plan at $108. Ringo Light charges $20.99 for 2 weeks and $39.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 20 GB for a week or 30 GB for 15 days, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $20.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $41.98, still under Ubigi's 15 days at $49; a heavy month costs $60.98, still under every rival for the month.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Holafly sells 3 days of unlimited at $19.90 and Airalo at $20.50, and Nomad sells 5 days at $18, the cheapest of all. For a week, our 2 weeks at $20.99 already costs less than any rival's week of unlimited, but Nomad's 5 days at $18 is cheaper if you are only there for a long weekend.
Tunisia has three networks: Tunisie Telecom, Ooredoo and Orange. All three cover Tunis, the coast from Bizerte to Djerba and the main roads well. Airalo names Ooredoo; Holafly and Nomad name Orange and Ooredoo; Saily and Ubigi name none. In the south, on the roads between Matmata, Tataouine and the Chott el Jerid, and out in the dunes past Douz, signal thins out on every network. Download offline maps before those drives.
A local SIM is cheap, and the operators sell them at Tunis-Carthage airport and in their shops, but you register it with your passport and top up in dinars, and the dinar cannot be bought before you travel. A travel eSIM installs at home before you fly and works from the moment you land.
Ubigi, $17 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days. 10 GB for a week costs $15, and 25 GB for 30 days $38.
Nomad, $19 for 10 GB. The cheapest 20 GB at $29, both for 30 days, on Ooredoo and Orange.
Saily, $19.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $31.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $20 for 10 GB. Its El Jem Communications plan, 20 GB for $31.50, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $20.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $39.99. For a fixed amount of data, Ubigi, Nomad, Saily and Airalo are all cheaper in Tunisia. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Tunisia it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $20.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $39.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $20.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
A long weekend in Tunis and Sidi Bou Said. Nomad unlimited, 5 days, $18, or Holafly 3 days at $19.90. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
Carthage, El Jem, the south and Djerba in two weeks. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $20.99, less than any rival charges for two weeks. Ubigi 15 days at $49 if you want 30 GB at full speed on a fixed plan.
A week on the beach, light use, budget first. Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $17, or Nomad 20 GB at $29.
A month in Hammamet or Tunis, working remotely. Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $39.99, starting with 20 GB and adding 10 GB once for $20.99. The cheapest rival month is Saily at $98.99.
You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Tunisia, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Tunis, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said to Dougga, Kairouan, El Jem, the ksour of the south and Djerba, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The cities and the coast have good 4G; the desert roads do not always.
The Medina of Tunis, Tunis. The old walled city, a UNESCO site, with its souks built around the Zitouna Mosque and its square minaret. Go in the morning, when the covered lanes are cool and the shops are opening. Street maps lose you in the medina lanes. Save an offline map with a pin for Bab Bhar, the main gate, before you walk in.
Sidi Bou Said, Near Tunis. A village of white houses with blue doors and shutters on a cliff above the Gulf of Tunis. Come late in the afternoon and stay for sunset from one of the cafés at the top. The TGM light train runs from central Tunis to Sidi Bou Said. A ride-hailing app gets you back after the last train.
The Antonine Baths, Carthage. The ruins of the largest Roman baths in Africa, on the shore where Carthage once stood. The Byrsa hill, the Punic ports and the Roman villas are nearby. The Carthage sites are spread over a few kilometres. A map shows the nearest TGM stop to each one.
Dougga, Near Téboursouk, northwest. A whole Roman town on a hillside above olive groves, with its temple, theatre and baths still standing, and a UNESCO site. Spring is the best time, when the fields around it are green. There is no train to Dougga and signal is weak in the hills. Load your route and an offline map before you leave Tunis.
The Great Mosque of Kairouan, Kairouan. Founded in the seventh century, one of the oldest mosques in North Africa, with a vast courtyard and square minaret. Visitors may enter the courtyard; the prayer hall is for worshippers. The medina around it is known for its carpets. Shops and cafés in Kairouan often take cash only. Find an ATM on your map before you go, since dinars can only be bought inside Tunisia.
The amphitheatre of El Jem, El Jem. A Roman amphitheatre for about 35,000 spectators, one of the best preserved in the world, rising over a small town on the plain. You can climb to the top tiers and walk the tunnels under the arena. El Jem is on the train line from Tunis to Sfax. Check the SNCFT timetable on your phone for the trains back.
Ksar Ouled Soltane, Near Tataouine. A fortified granary of vaulted rooms stacked up to four storeys high around two courtyards, built by the Berber villages of the south. It stood in for a desert town in Star Wars. Signal comes and goes in the south. Download the map of the Tataouine area and share your route before you drive out.
Houmt Souk and Borj El Kebir, Djerba. The main town of Djerba, with its souks, its fishing harbour and the fifteenth-century fort on the shore beside it. Most people come for the beaches and stay for an afternoon here. Djerba is reached by the ferry from Jorf to Ajim or by the causeway at El Kantara. A map app shows which is faster from where you are.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Tunisia on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $20.99 for 2 weeks and $39.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $49 for 15 days at Ubigi and $98.99 for 30 days at Saily, the cheapest rivals. For a few days, Nomad at $18 for 5 days. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $17.
Airalo names Ooredoo. Holafly and Nomad name Orange and Ooredoo. Saily and Ubigi do not name their network for Tunisia. All three Tunisian networks cover the cities and the coast; signal thins out in the desert south.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo and Saily slow you after 3 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
You can. Tunisie Telecom, Ooredoo and Orange sell SIMs at the airport and in town, and they are cheap, but you register each one with your passport and top up in dinars, which you can only get once you are in Tunisia. A travel eSIM skips the counter: you install it at home and it connects when you land.
