How safe is Tunisia?
Fouchana
Fouchana is a small and safe city in my opinion, but one can never be certain that they won't face an incident here. Therefore, in general, caution should be exercised everywhere, not just in Fouchana. This is just my perspective, of course. Anyone wishing to visit is welcome in Tunisia; I will try to help as much as possible.

Tunis is the capital so during the night it's not safe. There is safe places but you need to avoid dark and empty areas. During the day you need to take care of your bag and your Phone. It's not like other cities that can be safer for women

Tunis is the capital of Tunisia where you can find so many people from different cities and countries there it's basically a place that's so popular in Tunisia and walking there alone after dark is very dangerous especially for tourists but it's a beautiful place to visit in the day

Posted: January 30, 2025Mahdia
Mahdia is a very calm town, the people are chill and very helpful. The fact that it’s small makes almost everyone knows everyone so no one will do anything bad in fear of being found out which is very likely xD
Posted: December 30, 2024Sfax
Sfax is safe for women to a certain degree Beware of robbery while walking downtown Avoid walking alone at night, go out in groups instead Avoid public transport (Bus) Avoid walking downtown during rainy days I recommend visiting during spring, summer It's generally warm and sunny

Mahdia
Mahdia is overall a safe place, it is small town where most people know each others, a close-knit community. So crimes against women are not the norm. The extend of it would be catcalling or conversation attempts.

Manouba
Safe enough to hang out in, the people there are kind and lovely, and they understand some foreign languages, so you will never encounter communication problems. Manouba is also considered the safest city in Tunisia.
Posted: December 27, 2024Nabeul
Nabeul is a very chill and slow city with good people and delicious food. You can catch sunsets and sunrises. Get some sea vitamin near Mediterranean beaches. Simply go check it out ! It will get your heart pumping 🫰
Posted: December 25, 2024La Soukra
It's a safe place but like others cities around the world there is some places that you should not enter after dark . I wouldn't tell you that if you be in those streets 100% you get robbed or attacked but there is a chance of 50% so you must be carful . But overall soukra is a really nice place to shop or stop by . 2 streets that tourists don't enter usually other than that soukra is a really nice place 👌 😌

Tunisia, Solo travel
Tunisia is a wonderful country. Its location makes it a melting pot of cultures that have been absorbed during centuries, making it a unicum in the world. People are welcoming and warm. However, moving to the South of the country, in rural areas or even in some neighborhoods in Tunis is not recommended during night for a women alone.

Sousse, Family travel
honestly it was one of my most beautiful trips ever to Tunisia. Sousse is really a beautiful city, there were a lot of lights because I went on Christmas and it looked very expensive and choc. people there are so open minded too. I went to iberostar kantaoui hotel and everything was perfect about the hotel from the food to the service to the clean rooms, love it 🩷
