It's moderatly safe. Be respectful to the country and understand the culture before going. Research dangerous neighbourhoods (very well known) and stay away and do not go alone in the dark or in abandoned places and you are good to go.
Posted: August 7, 2025I have lived here my entire life and i really think it's quite unsafe. But the fact that i had a bad experience, doesn't mean other people are lying. So just be careful and smart. Plus, we have a code here don't trust young boys but you can trust old men and women.
Posted: August 7, 2025Overall a safe country. Some areas would better be avoided for both males and females but overall safe. There are scammers smtimes for tourists or expensive tariff for foreigners but knowing a local would solve this issue.
Posted: July 3, 2025Honestly, 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.
Posted: May 9, 2025Tunis 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.
