Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN) — The Complete Guide

Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN): location 8 km from central Tunis, terminal layout, arrivals and departures, distances to Hammamet and Sousse, and fixed-price private transfers from 40 TND, 24/7.

Tunis-Carthage International Airport (IATA: TUN, ICAO: DTTA) is Tunisia's main gateway, located in the La Soukra district just 8 km northeast of central Tunis — one of the shortest airport-to-capital distances in the Mediterranean. It handles Tunisair, Nouvelair and major European carriers in a single passenger terminal: arrivals exit into one public hall on the ground level, with departures check-in on the same concourse. Key distances from TUN: Tunis city centre 8 km (15 min), Carthage and Sidi Bou Said 5-7 km, Gammarth 15 km, Hammamet 65 km (about 1 h), Yasmine Hammamet 75 km, Sousse 140 km (about 2 h). Fixed-price private transfers with Carstodo start at 40 TND, run 24/7 with no night surcharge, and include a name-sign pickup in the arrivals hall with real-time flight tracking — book online or on WhatsApp before you fly.

Why this matters

8 km from the capital — 15 minutes

TUN sits practically inside the city: Tunis centre is a 45 TND fixed-fare ride, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said even closer at 40 TND.

One terminal, one arrivals hall

No terminal confusion: every scheduled arrival exits into the same public hall, where your driver waits with a name sign.
