How safe is Tunisia?

Kairouan

I would say that it depends on specific places and times but generally it's moderate. and personally i think people make it much horrible than it actually is . For me i feel safe walking around in kairouan than in tunis the capital at least here people have each other's backs

Tunis

Honestly, it depends on where you are exactly. But mainly, it's fairly safe. I've never gotten an issue, but I can't talk for everyone. You just have to be as careful as you usually are in any other place.

Tunis

Tunis is quite safe especially if you avoid just a few areas after dark which are already well known and could be easily avoided . All touristy places are very safe. As a women I think it’s a good place to live or visit.

Is Tunisia worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.6 /5

based on 21 experiences from female travelers

Jendouba, Group travel

It's heavenly and beautiful! We visited Tabarka, Bni Mtir and Ain Drahem. Tabarka has great beaches with mountain and old castle views and luxurious hotels. Bni Mtir has enchanting forests with breathtaking Waterfalls. Take the chance to buy essential oils from the guy near the Waterfalls; his products are authentic, and the prices are very reasonable. Ain Drahem was also very beautiful with a unique vibe.
