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.
Posted: June 22, 2024Tunisia 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.
Posted: April 6, 2024I'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.
Posted: April 1, 2024When 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.
Posted: March 31, 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.
Posted: February 16, 2024Experienced: November, 2022Favorite 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)
Posted: January 17, 2024I 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.
Posted: December 26, 2023I 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.

26 years since my last holiday, I finally plucked up the courage to so my first ever solo holiday - to Hammamet in Tunisia. The hotel chosen was Le Sultan. Literally less than 20 steps to the beautiful soft sand and blue warm sea!!! The staff so welcoming! From the receptionist, to waiters , bar staff and housekeeping ladies. I went all inclusive for 7 days. The food was in abundance. The gorgeous snack bar made lovely panini's and crepes from 3:30pm for a couple of hours. Delicious!! . Other guests were from varied countries. UK, Prague Germany, Paris, Scotland, Essex, Manchester.... all polite and some I've made life long friendships with.. It genuinely changed my life and myself beyond words could describe. I even met a lady from Female Solo Traveller from Facebook, where we hired a driver for the day and visited for instance El Jem where the impressive Roman Emphitheatre is there. I even rode a camel there. I do thoroughly recommend Tunisia, so much so, I'm trying my hardest to visit again in Dec for 3 days, then 11 days in May 🫶🇹🇳

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.

I'm Abi, a 27 year old med student. I've always loved traveling, but when that isn't possible, the second best thing has been to meet people from all over the world.. A bit like a vicarious travel. I have hosted a few fellow travelers in the past, and have had the luck of meeting some great people, some of whom became dear friends.
