🇹🇳 Tunis, Tunisia
Tunis-Carthage International Airport operates with a single terminal building handling both domestic and international flights for Tunisia's capital region. The terminal features integrated check-in facilities with Tunisair and international carrier counters serving destinations throughout North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, along with automated kiosks for select airlines. Security screening utilizes multiple lanes with enhanced procedures during peak travel periods and holiday seasons when passenger volumes significantly increase. Immigration processing includes separate counters for Tunisian citizens, Arab League nationals, and foreign visitors, with visa-on-arrival services for eligible countries and efficient passport control designed to handle the seasonal tourism fluctuations. The departure areas include duty-free shopping featuring Tunisian products including olive oil, dates, traditional textiles, and handicrafts, along with international brands and travel essentials. Dining options showcase Tunisian cuisine including couscous, brik, and mint tea alongside Mediterranean dishes and international fast food, with several cafes and restaurants throughout the terminal. The airport provides essential amenities including medical facilities, currency exchange for Tunisian dinars with limited credit card acceptance requiring cash for many services, prayer rooms, children's areas, and ground transportation coordination including official yellow metered taxis, bus services, and car rentals for travel to central Tunis, the ancient ruins of Carthage, the seaside town of Sidi Bou Said, and other tourist destinations throughout northern Tunisia, with enhanced security measures and occasional additional screening procedures reflecting the regional security environment.
