Low season in Tunisia is from January to February, this is when hotel rates are affordable and the weather is cool and rainy. In the course of the warm season, from June through August, be expecting hotel rates to be higher, car rentals to be in short supply and the markets and museums to be infested with foreign visitors. This is when the coastal towns are at their liveliest. This is also the time when the Tunisian authorities plan and prepare numerous festivals in the old Roman sites.
If your vacation time falls at the right time one of the excellent times to tour Tunisia is between the middle of March and mid-May when the spring days are pleasingly warm and the scenery is at its most attractive state after the winter rains. November is the best time for sightseeing the Saharan south, longer expeditions deep into the desert are possible, the date harvest, which harvests some of the best dates in the world, has just ended, this is when prices are cheaper and Douz and Tozeur host continuous desert festivals.
