One Flight × One Continent
On October 13 and 14, 2026, Africa's tech market will be held in Tunis. You'll land just 15 minutes from the event, stay at a place just a five-minute walk away, and leave with a continental address book.
It all comes down to thirty minutes
Tunis is a compact capital city, and the City of Culture is located right in the center, on Mohamed V Avenue.
A Capital City on a Human Scale
Between sessions or after the event ends, you can explore the city without wasting time on travel.
The City of Culture
A nine-hectare cultural complex in the heart of downtown, on Mohamed V Avenue, with on-site parking.
About 15 hotels within walking distance
From 3★ to 5★, a 2- to 15-minute walk from the exhibition hall entrance. Details on the negotiated rates are listed further down this page.
The Blue and White Village
Perched above the Gulf of Tunis, 30 minutes from the Cité de la Culture. The best view of the coastline.
UNESCO since 1979
Narrow streets, souks, and Ottoman architecture right in the heart of the city, just a few minutes' walk from the trade show.
In the Footsteps of the Empire
The archaeological site overlooking the sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be visited on the same day as the medina.
Beaches and the coastal road
Marinas, beaches, and seafood restaurants, just 30 minutes from the Cité de la Culture.
The beating heart of the city
Cafés, bookstores, and Art Deco facades line the capital's main avenue.
The Good Season
Temperatures ranging from 18 to 28°C, clear skies, warm seas, and few tourists: the best month to explore the country.
You made the trip
It would be a shame to see only the exhibition hall—especially when the Mediterranean is just half an hour away from the conference room.
You can visit two UNESCO sites in a single day: the medina of Tunis, one of the best-preserved in the Arab world, and the archaeological site of Carthage, overlooking the sea. Then continue on to Sidi Bou Saïd and the La Marsa coastal road.

The country's main gateway, located 10–15 minutes from the Cité de la Culture. Direct connections to major cities in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Four Ways to Get Around
