Monastir is a city on the east coast of Tunisia. The Tunisian coastal town is located in the south of the Gulf of Hammamet and has been one of the most popular holiday destinations in North Africa for years.

Besides the wonderful beaches and a very pleasant travel climate, the excellent price-performance ratio is particularly convincing.

Monastir is located about 99 miles south of the capital Tunis and 12 miles east of Sousse. The place has about 72,000 inhabitants and is the birthplace of former Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba.

Monastir has its own airport, but most charter flights land at the neighbouring Enfidha airport. A journey via the capital Tunis is also possible, but very unusual for Tunisia package tours.

When to visit Monastir?

Monastir is located in northern Tunisia, where a typical Mediterranean climate prevails. The best time to travel in Monastir is between the end of May and mid-October, although it can get very hot, especially in high summer (July and August). The fringe months in late spring and early autumn are also highly recommended for a holiday, the Mediterranean is suitable for swimming in the region from May to November.

High season in Monastir is during the European summer holidays in July and August. At this time of the year, the sea can reach 27 °C and is more like a bathtub in shallow areas, but for many travellers this feeling for a perfect bathing holiday is simply part of it. For those who don’t like it quite as hot, there is a good middle course in the low season in June and in the low season from mid-September.
