You can feel safe at night when you walk on the the known street do not enter a totally dark or without light street just to be safe. At the daylight don’t worry but be careful like you are on the other countries

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

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 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.

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.

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.
