Public Holidays in Tunisia — 2026
Tunisia keeps a short official calendar in 2026: 8 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
1 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 7 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 4 before July and 4 after it — with January the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 85 days, from Friday, May 1, 2026 to Saturday, July 25, 2026; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
2 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 5 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Tunisia sits in Northern Africa, is run from Tunis, pays in Tunisian Dinar, and has about 11.8M people planning around these same dates.
