Yes definitely, I do confirm that from 2009 and on, Tunisia will no longer observe daylight saving time. The daylight saving have been used from 2006 till 2008 beginning on each last Sunday of March at 2:00 am and ending on the last Sunday of October at 3:00 am. From 2009 and on Tunisian will no longer use daylight saving. Here is the link to the Tunisian press agency whom announced this : http://www.tap.info.tn/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26813&It...
