Tunisia combines Mediterranean beach resorts with Roman ruins and Saharan oases. Coverage in Tunis, Sidi Bou Said, Sousse, Hammamet and Djerba is good; in the deep south around Douz and the dunes it fades. Travel data is reasonably priced.
Short answer: a 5GB plan with validity covering your trip suits most holidays. Download offline maps before a Sahara excursion.
