Cheap Flights from Nouakchott to Tunis — $346

Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International (NKC) is Mauritania’s main international gateway, serving both regional carriers and a limited number of long‑haul flights; it functions as the country’s primary hub for government, business and inbound tourism traffic. Flights are often operated by African and Middle Eastern airlines, with fares that can be higher than nearby West African markets due to limited competition. The airport sits about 25–30 km east of central Nouakchott; taxis and shared minibuses are the most common options, typically taking 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly a few euros or the local equivalent. Pros: straightforward layout and customs; Cons: fewer amenities and late evening public transport options.

Fly nonstop from Nouakchott to Tunis for the quickest, most convenient way to get between these two vibrant North African cities — less time in transit means more time exploring Tunis’s medina and coastal cafés. While connecting flights can sometimes offer lower fares, a direct flight saves hours and reduces hassle, making it a smarter choice when convenience and comfort matter.

Tunis–Carthage International (TUN) is the main international gateway for Tunisia and typically serves a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines on routes across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The airport sits about 8–10 km northeast of downtown Tunis, with taxis taking roughly 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and usually charging a modest fare; shared shuttles and car hires are also common. Public bus and louage (shared-minibus) options can be cheaper but often take longer and are less predictable. As the primary hub, TUN can be convenient for direct flights and onward connections, though it may be busier and a bit pricier on peak routes compared with smaller regional fields.
