I stayed in Iberostar Royal El Mansour. It was amazing. The whole hotel grounds are secure, staff is very friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing. There was literally everything. I highly recommend the hotel spa as well. There were so many programs as well for example horse riding, caravana (camel riding), watching dolphins in the sea, quad riding, pirate ship trip and you could even rent a small plane but you had to do it with the help of your guide. I mostly used taxis to get around since it was the easiest way but i have to warn you they drive like crazy! (There was also a two day trip around Tunisia and Sahara that we were supposed to attend but couldn’t in the end due to health issues)

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.

Tunisia is safe and cheap. An amazing country that I can't stop missing. The delicious spicy food, the friendly hospitable people, and the wonderful views.

I've been to Tunisia twice on my own and I traveled around by taxi. I felt safe. I got some silly pick-up lines from teenagers on the beach, but a firm refusal was enough to fend them off.

When I walked alone on the beaches, guys would approach me, either wanting to chat, take a photo, or straight up propositioning sex but I didn't feel in danger. I was more discouraged by the fact that it was the same thing over and over again and it was hard to fend them off. Apart from that had a great time in Tunisia.

Favorite trip Ive taken, went with an organized tour. So much to see and do, fantastic food. Extremely inexpensive. The people are very nice and helpful, in my experience. Did get playful comments on my appearance but no harrassment or catcalling. Would suggest going with an organized tour if you want to see the whole country as I dont think they have great tourist infrastructure (when compared to Morocco and Egypt for example)

I spent a weekend alone in Tunisia and I visited Tunis, Sidi Bou Said, Testour, and Dougga and had a great time. I stayed in an Airbnb with a local family, and an experienced guide helped me navigate the cities and surroundings. I always felt safe. The people were so nice. It's a pity I couldn't stay there longer.

I recently returned from Tunisia and it was fantastic. I feel that it is safer there and slightly more developed than in Egypt. In Tunis, I recommend visiting Medina, Carthage, and Sidi Bou Said, which are spectacular. Hammamet has beautiful beaches. In Sousse, the Medina is nice, and the Dar Essid museum is really worth a visit. In Monastir, I visited the Medina and Riad. I also went on a two-day desert tour, which was the best decision. I visited the impressive El Jem, Berber houses in Matmata, Douz at the gates of the Sahara, and the amazing oasis Chebika. The food is amazing, the people are very friendly and you can travel by taxi. Everything is negotiable. The rule is that you can cut the initial price in half and start from there. I love their culture, history, and heritage and highly recommend a visit.

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 🫰
