Spending the night at the airport
The airport terminal remains open around the clock, so if you have an early morning flight, a long connection, or your flight is cancelled, you can spend the night within the premises, saving on transport and accommodation costs.
Where to rest: In the Arrivals Hall, you will find long metal benches where you can lie down. In the boarding area, there are also VIP lounges offering greater privacy and comfort, with one even staying open overnight. If you prefer a more restful sleep or feel that spending the night at the airport is not for you, you’ll find a list of nearby hotels further down.
Baggage: This airport currently does not offer luggage storage services.
Food and drink: Shops usually close at night, but you can find some vending machines with limited options.
Wi-Fi: Free access.
Other services open around the clock: ATMs, currency exchange offices, prayer rooms.

Tips for a long layover
- Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Tunisia and whether your bags are checked through.
- If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
- A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at TUN.
- Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
- Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from TUN (7 km to Tunis), and check which services run at night.
