Is Sousse Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Sousse is generally safe for solo female travelers during the day as locals are friendly and respectful. Local cuisine is delicious and there's much to explore. However, it is advisable to dress modestly following the local custom to avoid unwanted attention. At night, it's recommended to avoid walking alone in deserted areas or quiet streets. Always be aware of your surroundings and use common sense. Public transports can get crowded, therefore, keep an eye on your belongings. Using taxi instead of public transports can be a safer option.

How safe is Sousse for solo female travelers?

Family travel

It was great! We stayed near the Marina and it was beautiful! Shop keepers don’t pull you in and they give you lots of space to do your own thing! Nightlife is pretty safe too, not sure if it’s because I was with others but nobody was loud or bothering us, so if you like that stay close to the quiet side of things.

honestly it was one of my most beautiful trips ever to Tunisia. Sousse is really a beautiful city, there were a lot of lights because I went on Christmas and it looked very expensive and choc. people there are so open minded too. I went to iberostar kantaoui hotel and everything was perfect about the hotel from the food to the service to the clean rooms, love it 🩷

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
