Tunisian flag at sunset over Tunis — coworking spaces and remote work guide for Tunisia

Tunis has a real coworking ecosystem: multiple established spaces with professional infrastructure, community programming, and consistent fibre connections. This guide covers every serious coworking option across the city’s main working districts, plus the cafĂ© circuit that remote workers rely on for flexible hours and a change of scene.

For the full picture on visa options, cost of living, and neighbourhood choices, see our digital nomad guide to Tunisia.

The Main Coworking Spaces

GoWork (Les Berges du Lac 2)

GoWork is the most polished dedicated coworking space in Tunis. It sits in the modern business district of Berges du Lac 2, northeast of the city centre, where most international companies and banks have their offices.

Practical details:

  • Day pass: approximately 35–50 TND as of 2026
  • Monthly hot desk: approximately 350–500 TND as of 2026
  • Monthly dedicated desk: approximately 500–700 TND as of 2026
  • Private office (monthly): pricing on request; available in various sizes
  • WiFi: fibre, typically 50–150 Mbps download; stable for video conferencing
  • Hours: typically 8am–8pm, Monday to Friday; Saturday by arrangement
  • English-speaking community: yes; international clientele is common in Lac 2

Amenities include air-conditioned open-plan and private workstations, meeting rooms bookable by the hour, a kitchen, printing facilities, and a reception desk. The space feels more corporate than creative, which suits professionals who need a distraction-free environment. Monthly members report the internet as reliable and consistent during business hours.

Getting there: Accessible by Bolt or by the TGM suburban train (El Manar or Les Berges du Lac stations are nearby). Parking available if you have a rental car.

Cogite (Mutuelle-Ville / Centre-Ville area)

Cogite was one of the first coworking spaces to open in Tunisia and remains a community hub rather than just a desk-rental service. It attracts a mix of freelancers, startup founders, and remote workers, and hosts regular events including pitch nights, workshops, and skill-share sessions.

Practical details:

  • Day pass: approximately 30–45 TND as of 2026
  • Monthly hot desk membership: approximately 300–420 TND as of 2026
  • WiFi: solid for standard remote work tasks; 30–80 Mbps in good conditions
  • Hours: 9am–7pm, Monday to Friday
  • Location: city centre, near the Bab Bhar and Place de la Victoire, walkable from most medina-area accommodation

Cogite runs a Slack community accessible to members, which is a useful way to meet other remote workers in Tunis before and during your stay. The vibe is more relaxed than GoWork, and the central location means you can combine work days with medina exploration.

Good fit for: freelancers and solo nomads wanting community, people staying in the medina or BelvédÚre, those who want easy access to the city centre.

StartupHaus Tunis (Lac 2 area)

StartupHaus is oriented toward startups and early-stage teams rather than individual remote workers. It operates primarily on monthly membership and does not typically offer casual day passes.

  • Monthly membership: approximately 300–450 TND as of 2026
  • Focused on the Tunisian startup ecosystem
  • Regular events connecting founders and investors
  • More relevant for people building a product or company than for individual contractors

Flat6Labs Tunisia

Flat6Labs is a startup accelerator with a coworking component. Access to the coworking space is primarily for programme participants and alumni, but it runs regular public events and demo days that allow nomads to plug into the Tunis startup scene. Worth following on social media for event invitations.

Hub des Startups (Tunis)

A public-sector supported coworking hub, relatively affordable and open to freelancers.

  • Monthly desk: approximately 150–250 TND as of 2026
  • More basic facilities than GoWork or Cogite
  • Located in the central business district
  • Best for budget-conscious longer stays; confirm current opening status before visiting

Café Coworking: The Informal Circuit

Tunisian cafĂ© culture is strong, and many Tunis cafĂ©s welcome laptop workers. This is the most flexible option for part-day working, and for many nomads it’s the daily default between the occasional dedicated coworking day.

Best Areas for Café Working

Avenue Habib Bourguiba (Ville Nouvelle): The main downtown boulevard has several cafĂ©s that function as informal work spots. CafĂ© de Paris is the landmark; nearby cafĂ©s on Rue de Marseille attract a younger, more freelance-forward crowd. Connection speeds vary; typically 10–30 Mbps on a good day.

BelvĂ©dĂšre and Menzah districts: These residential districts have quieter neighbourhood cafĂ©s where laptop workers are entirely normal. Connection tends to be more reliable than busy downtown venues, and the environment is calmer. Expect approximately 5–8 TND on coffee and pastries for a half-day session.

La Marsa (coastal suburb, 20km north): La Marsa has the most established café culture for remote workers. Cafés near the seafront and along the main street attract a regular expat and nomad crowd. WiFi is typically stronger in La Marsa than in the city centre. The TGM train runs direct to La Marsa from the central station at approximately 1.5 TND per journey.

Sidi Bou Said: The famous hilltop village above Carthage has charming cafés but the WiFi is usually weak. Better for a scenic lunch break than a productive working session.

What to Expect

Most Tunis cafĂ©s with a laptop-friendly culture provide WiFi through a printed code or by asking at the counter. Speeds range widely: 5–50 Mbps depending on the cafĂ©, time of day, and connection type. Most are adequate for email and video calls; intensive file uploads work better from a dedicated coworking space.

Internet Infrastructure in Tunis

Fixed broadband: FTTH (fibre to the home) has been progressively rolled out in newer districts of Tunis, particularly Lac 1, Lac 2, Menzah, and parts of Ariana. Where available, speeds reach 50–200 Mbps. Older buildings in the medina and inner BelvĂ©dĂšre often still have ADSL, typically 8–20 Mbps, functional but not fast.

Mobile data: Tunisie Telecom, Ooredoo, and Orange Tunisia all provide 4G LTE coverage across Tunis with typical speeds of 15–40 Mbps. Mobile data is the most reliable backup when cafĂ© WiFi disappoints.

SIM cards: A prepaid 30-day data SIM with 20–50 GB costs approximately 10–20 TND as of 2026. See our Tunisia SIM card guide for where to buy and how to set up.

Practical Notes for Tunis Remote Workers

Booking ahead: GoWork and Cogite both benefit from contact in advance, particularly for first-day orientations and to confirm day-pass availability. Walk-ins usually work but confirmation avoids wasted journeys.

Power sockets: Tunisia uses European Type C/E plugs (220V). A multi-socket extension lead is useful in cafés where one socket per table is the norm.

Card payments: Some coworking spaces accept card payments; others are cash-only. Have Tunisian dinar available. ATM access is straightforward in the Lac 2 and city-centre districts.

Working hours and Ramadan: Standard business hours are 8am–5pm or 9am–6pm. During Ramadan, cafĂ© hours shift significantly and some spaces reduce their hours. If planning a stay during Ramadan, check current hours with each space directly. See our Ramadan in Tunisia guide for the broader picture.

Community: The best way to find other nomads in Tunis is through Facebook groups (“Expats in Tunis”, “Digital Nomads Tunisia”) and through the Slack channels accessible via Cogite membership. The nomad community is small but active.
