What's the weather like in Hammamet in February
Hammamet's pleasant, year-round weather means that it enjoys a healthy holiday trade throughout the year.
Summer may see the best of the weather, with the highest temperatures and driest skies, but the winter is a popular time to visit with those looking to escape colder, winter climates and enjoy some warm and pleasant weather and winter sun on their break.
The climate in February tends to provide mild weather that sees hours of sun each day.
Though there is the chance of rain, the wet weather tends to be fleeting and infrequent and usually clears quickly to reveal warm and sunny weather once again.

Sleek and modern, the Sindbad Hotel appeals to the modern or stylish travelers. Each room has contemporary, minimalistic design and that aesthetic continues throughout the grounds as well. The large outdoor pool is contained by a glass wall that overlooks the Mediterranean. No other hotel in the area can boast a unique pool. Despite the chic accommodations, the hotel is staffed by approachable and knowledgeable employees that have earned a friendly and excellent reputation.

Another option for classic English food, Steakhouse on the outskirts of Hammamet is popular with tourists. From a traditional English breakfast in the morning to steaks and roasted meats for dinner, Steakhouse has a taste of the familiar at almost any time of day. The owners are British expatriates so there is no language barrier and friendly faces with whom to speak about British culture. If you are traveling with children, Steakhouse will have an option that will keep picky eaters or the homesick happy. The restaurant also shows football matches when they are aired.
Things to do in Hammamet in February
A tour of Hammamet is a great way to spend a day and immerse yourself in the culture of the area. Tours can be done either on horse back or on quad bike, but either way you will be taken along the coast, through the hills and surrounding countryside and round traditional towns and villages.
The main historical feature of Tunisia is the Carthaginian ruins. It would be difficult to consider a trip to Tunisia truly complete without a day spent wandering around the ruins of this ancient empire. Carthage was a dominant player on the Mediterranean millennia ago before being sacked by the Roman Empire. The Romans may have waged war and brought down much of Carthage but they did repurpose many significant buildings, which are still intact today.
The ruins of Carthage are around an hour's drive away from Hammamet but are easily worth the trip and just as easily arranged through a tour company or a local transportation service. Note: it may be too far for a local taxi to go. At the grounds, there is a small admission fee to pay to enter the grounds but once inside there is a massive amphitheatre, cave, other ruins and a museum dedicated to the majesty and former glory of Carthage.
Dates for the diary
Ashura is held on the seventh day of February. Ashura is a traditional Muslim day of mourning, when bonfires are lit and other traditional activities take place across the whole of Tunisia.
