Currency & Fund Transfers
The currency in Tunisia is the Tunisian dinar (TND), which is divided into 1000 milimes.
As a reference, 1 Euro is approximately equal to 3.26 dinars (subject to exchange rate fluctuations).
Upon arrival in Tunisia, you can exchange your foreign currency at bank counters located in the airport (open 7 days a week) or at banks in the city.

One way to receive funds in
Tunisia is to have bank transfers sent to an account opened in your name
at a bank in the city of Sousse.

However, since bank transfers
can take quite a long time (several weeks), it is advisable to bring
enough cash or traveler’s checks to cover your expenses for at least two
months.

Transfers via Western Union are faster but more expensive.
