I think it’s Argiope trifasciata. Very common in Tunisia. It’s called banded garden spider.

Hello, I think it could be Argiope keyserlingi, a female St Andrews cross spider. It is an orbweaver spider, also called a garden spider in some places. They are calm spiders that won’t try to hurt you. They make big webs and eat many insects.

Hi. the venters are very similar with both suggestions, you can compare to my banded orb weaver:
