I was doing a volunteer project for 6 weeks in Sfax. I actually felt safe. People were nice, and I wasn't scammed much, especially compared to more touristic cities in Tunesia. If you want to do a trip around Tunesia it is not really worth it but I can absolutely recommend the Medina in Sfax, it is very beautiful and very cheap.
Posted: October 11, 2025Experienced: September, 2025Djerba was a dream a very beautiful dream. It’s the perfect place for everyone. We went as a family so we’re very grateful for having children activities all the time so we won’t be worried about children while we enjoy our time. The beaches were so clean and beautiful and the markets are amazing and it’s not even that much expensive. We loved the food and the traditional clothes that our host offered us to try also the boat trip that we took. To cap it all, djerba is a really safe place and a great distinction to spend your holiday in.
Posted: September 15, 2025It'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.
Posted: May 25, 2025Experienced: April, 2025Tunisia 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.

Tunis is overall safe if you dress with the cultural context in mind, as a born and raised Tunisian I have never experienced anything in this city that has made me seriously consider it has a safety issue. As they tell you in other capitals in the public transport: don’t use your phone, be mindful of your belongings!
Posted: October 14, 2025If you don’t know Tunisia, let me tell you: it’s one of the safest countries in the region for women. Here, we have strong laws that protect us against violence, and there are centers where women can go if they need help or support. In the streets, schools, and workplaces, you will always see many women active and present, which makes daily life feel more open and secure. Of course, no place is without challenges, but Tunisia really tries to create an environment where women can feel safe, respected and free
Posted: September 28, 2025It’s pretty much safe. The police are basically everywhere and they’re so friendly and open to answer questions also the people are so friendly and helpful and they’re very knowledgeable about the foreigners countries and you can easily talk with them about everything and they will absolutely understand.

Posted: September 14, 2025Honestly, I feel like Tunisia is pretty safe overall. Day-to-day life is calm, people are friendly, and it’s easy to get around without feeling too worried. Of course, like anywhere, there are places where you should stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night or in crowded areas, but I don’t usually feel in danger. The biggest “risks” are more about petty stuff like pickpocketing than anything extreme.
