No it doesn't - at least, not so you'd notice at its eastern most edge...

Traveller in Time playing on the tunesian beach
"
That was several decades ago, The is a little tide in Tunesia. It is about ten centimeters, fifteen just after full moon.
I always assumed it would just rock east to west twice a day, are you sure there is really no tide in the eastern part ?
Admitted, I am used to something between two and four meters. I have seen five to ten in France once

Not so you'd notice, TiT. If it is 15cm in Tunisia, it could be something like 5cm in Lebanon. Given the motion of the waves, you really would not notice

Traveller in Time only getting curious
"The only fact about tides I can find on the WEB are there are tides in the Mediterranean.
The Oceanographers have to compensate for the tides to measure the average sea level.
There is an annual drift in the tide of about 10 centimeters. And thinking about it, I visited Majorca twice, only sunbathing or very short visits to the beach. Never noticed the tide there. "

>>>
In some places, resonance patterns are set up between incoming and outgoing tides. This can result in places known as amphidromes where there is no variation at all in water levels, even though the sea all around is moving up and down. There is one such amphidrome off the East coast of Wexford, Ireland. Another is found in the Persian Gulf, next to Saudi Arabia.
The Mediterranean Sea, as mentioned before, does not experience any significant tides. The entrance to the Sea at Gibraltar is too narrow to allow large movements of water. Nevertheless, there is a small tide, where water flows from East Mediterranean to West and back again.
