The city is safe especially turistic places girls can walk alone in the street no matter what time is it but i advise girls to keep their belongings in safe places not leave them unattended, just for precaution
Posted: August 24, 2024It's a small seaside town the people are very open and easy going.. But sure some men talk and try there luck.. The crime level is like European moderate.. But I even sometimes let my things at the beach and go swim.. Bad happenings are more unlikely bad luck depending how to Manöver around..

Kerkennah Island is a haven of peace and serenity. One cool autumn night, I was taking a walk with a friend. We were the only ones on the street, and she, being alone, expressed some concern. "Aren't you scared?" she asked. My reply, a confident "No," was genuine. Kerkennah is the only place where I feel completely safe walking at night, gazing at the stars on the beach, or even camping alone. The reason for Kerkennah's safety, I believe, lies in our strong sense of community. We are a close-knit island, where everyone knows each other. There's an unspoken understanding that harming someone, especially a girl, is a violation of this bond. Respect and a shared fear of wrongdoing are the cornerstones of this harmony. This sense of security extends to visitors as well. Tourists on Kerkennah often remark on the welcoming atmosphere. Here, life is simple. People are deeply connected to their land, the sea (their primary source of livelihood), the palm trees that sustain them, and nature as a whole. This connection fosters a peaceful coexistence within the community and with visitors. It's important to note that while Kerkennah is generally safe, there can be exceptions. These are very uncommon and tend to involve outsiders. P.S. i only found Mellita in the option but my experience applies to every corner of Kerkennah, including my own home in Ouled Bou Ali.

Actually , Tunisia is a safe country especially when you're with someone and people are so welcoming ! Tunisia is considered safe for travelers due to its stable political situation, relatively low crime rates, and a strong focus on tourism security measures. The government works to ensure the safety of tourists by implementing security protocols and monitoring popular tourist destinations. But you should also be aware as in any country of strangers.

It is totally safe, I usually walk at night alone and never in my 5 years of residency here had even the slightest problem, I also lost my belongings many times including my phone and money and they were always returned

Overall i think it s safe. I didn’t walk alone at night so i can’t comment on that. There is a lot of activities that you can do like enjoying a hike in the nature, doing cultural activities like visiting museums, the old town to enjoy arabic architecture, visiting mosques etc. The beach is very clean and peaceful. Overall very nice expensive at a low budget. Also people were super friendly and very welcoming.

I stayed in the Medina of Tunis at a Palace Hotel. Felt like a queen. The room was glorious. Next to the accommodation was a traditional Hamam for local women. Beautiful experience. I loved to walk around the markets, bazaar. Tunisian food is delicious and Harira spices my favorite. I love the Jazmin oil for the body and the oil perfumes. I felt very safe really and the people are so lovely and welcoming.

I lived 3 months in Tunisia, Tunis so I decided to go one day in Bizerte to meet another vegan friend. We didn’t do much.We ate and drank something.There s a special dish vegan friendly called lablebi sandwich. Food is very affordable. The sea amazing. I bought some music CD which I adore. Usually the taxi is shared and inexpensive.But you need more local guidance.
Posted: June 22, 2024My solo trip to Tunisia was okay, but many of my tours got cancelled. I'm hoping to go again and have a better experience. The pirate ship was fun, and the hotel staff were amazing. I would like to see more of Tunisia. I plan on visiting again in November 2023.
