Tunisia entrance fees in 2027: the Bardo, Carthage, El Jem and Kairouan

From 1 January 2027, foreign visitors pay 45 dinars at the Bardo Museum and 30 dinars each at Carthage, El Jem and Kairouan, up from 30 and 20 until 31 December 2026. The combined Bardo + Carthage ticket goes from 45 to 70 dinars. The other sites keep their prices: 8 dinars at Dougga, Bulla Regia, Kerkouane or Sbeitla. What counts is the date of the visit, not the date you book.

The Ennejma Ezzahra palace in Sidi Bou Saïd is run by the CMAM, not under this order, and sets its own price: 10 dinars in November 2026.

Who pays the full price

These are the full prices paid by foreign visitors. Tunisians, foreign residents with a residence card and visitors from the Maghreb pay a reduced price set separately: 12 dinars at the Bardo, Carthage, El Jem and Kairouan when our team checked in November 2026. Bring the card or passport that shows it.

The order also keeps a 2-dinar ticket for school pupils, students and children under 12 with an adult, and free entry for some visitors, among them people with disabilities. Ask at the ticket office with a passport or a student card: it decides whether a foreign visitor qualifies. The free days — the first Sunday of each month, public holidays, 18 April and 18 May — are for Tunisians and residents.

What 2027 means for a day out

For two people, the Tunis day comes to 140 dinars in tickets in 2027, against 90.

Our tours and the 2027 tickets

Our tour prices are per vehicle and do not include entry tickets: you pay them at the gate, in dinars, or add them when you book and pay them with the tour. For a trip that ends on or after 1 January 2027 the booking form prices them at the 2027 rate by itself — the date of the trip decides, not the date you book:

The ticket add-ons for the smaller sites (Dougga, Bulla Regia, Kerkouane, Uthina) keep their price, because those tickets do not change.

2028 and after

The same order adds 5% a year to every price from 1 January 2028, rounded up to the next dinar, and from 2028 moves Carthage, Kairouan and El Jem into category A, the Bardo’s. We will update this page as soon as the 2028 prices are posted at the sites.

Where these figures come from

The joint order of the Ministers of Finance and of Cultural Affairs of 27 March 2026, published in the Journal officiel de la République tunisienne n°34 of 31 March 2026, which set a first rise on 1 April 2026 and the second on 1 January 2027, as reported by La Presse de Tunisie and Managers on 1 April 2026 (in French). Tickets are sold by the AMVPPC, the national heritage agency. Our team confirmed the 2026 prices at the Bardo, Carthage, El Jem and Kairouan on 9 and 10 November 2026. If a ticket office asks you for a different price, tell us on WhatsApp and we will correct this page.

I am booking now for 2027: which price do I pay?

Are entry tickets included in your tours?

No. Our prices are per vehicle and tickets are extra: you pay them at the gate, or add them when you book — from 1 January 2027, for example, €21 a person for Kairouan and El Jem, or €28 for Carthage and the Bardo.

Distances are straight-line, measured between the coordinates on our map of the sites; road distances are longer. Prices are per vehicle and come from the same database the 33 tours and 1,392 transfer fares.
