Car rental at Tabarka Airport is the best choice for travellers who want to explore northwestern Tunisia at their own pace. Tabarka-Ain Draham International Airport, with its IATA code TBJ, serves the city of Tabarka and its surroundings including Ain Draham, Jendouba, and Beja. The airport receives seasonal direct flights from several European cities during the summer. Tabarka is the true gateway to Tunisia's most stunning natural scenery, where mountains cloaked in oak and cork forests meet the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.

Tabarka is world-famous for the Coral Coast (Côte de Corail), one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. The area takes its name from the precious red coral that thrives in its waters, attracting divers from around the globe. Among the region's most iconic landmarks are Les Aiguilles — dramatic needle-shaped rock formations that rise from the sea like natural stone towers, making them one of the most photographed sites in all of Tunisia. Perched on a hilltop above the town, the Genoese Fort offers sweeping panoramic views over the harbour, the coast, and the sea beyond.
Just 25 kilometres south of the airport lies the mountain jewel of Ain Draham, a charming highland town sitting more than 800 metres above sea level. Surrounded by the dense oak and cork forests of the Khroumirie mountains, Ain Draham is known for its cool climate, occasional winter snowfall, and a distinctly European atmosphere that feels wonderfully unexpected in North Africa. The town is a paradise for nature lovers, hikers, and horseback riders, with trails winding through some of the most pristine forest in the country.
For history enthusiasts, a visit to Bulla Regia is unmissable. Located roughly 70 kilometres from the airport, this extraordinary Roman archaeological site is unique in the ancient world for its underground villas adorned with remarkably preserved mosaics. The Romans built these subterranean homes to escape the brutal summer heat — a solution as ingenious today as it was two millennia ago. You can also drive to Jendouba (50 km) or Beja (80 km) to discover the authentic Tunisian countryside with its rolling green hills and fertile plains.
Every summer, Tabarka hosts the renowned Tabarka Jazz Festival, drawing international musicians and visitors to open-air concerts set against the stunning coastal backdrop. Combined with world-class diving in the coral-rich waters and scenic mountain drives through ancient forests, Tabarka offers a holiday experience unlike anywhere else in Tunisia.
