Tunisia, Family travel
Wonderful trip! People are very nice, but often very insisting. We had a warm welcome everywhere we went, the weather was very warm, the beaches were beautiful. Of lot of loitering happening. Overall would recommend!

It was super fun i had a great time especially at the pool it's so clean and good only downside is you really need to be careful with the hotel cause the one we chose was fine but the other guests keep staring a lot and also the men there can even follow you but with security it was safe so i had a bit of an issue with a stocker but security took care of that , other than that it was super cool

I loved the nature and the sea. Food in the hotel was exceptional. It was a hotel stay with my mom, when I was a student of 16 years old. What made this wonderful vacation worse was sexual harassment from the personnel of the hotel. He tried to enter my room with quite sexual intentions and stared at me almost all week of our vacation everywhere, where he had seen me until my mom stepped in publicly and we haven't seen that guy at all after that.

I went to Tunisia with a friend of mine and we stayed mostly in Bizerte, but also in Zarzis, so more in the South for a week. The weather is really nice, it is cheap, and the women are very friendly. The men in the opposite, are catcalling you all the time and looking at you as if they have never seen a woman, even if we always have unrevealing clothes! After some time, you get used to it, but inthe beginning it is very strange. The water is nice, but the beaches are not cleaned outside of the...

Sfax, Solo travel
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.

Djerba 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...

It'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.

Tunisia 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.

Sousse, Family travel
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 🩷

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...

Tunisia is mostly very safe. In the touristic areas safety is assured and very high. If you are planning to move around freely, you can always ask a local for advice to find the best hidden gems of Tunisia.

Mahdia is quite safe compared to larger cities like Tunis. Everyone knows each other here from older people to younger gen so nothing really happens. From my experience as a girl u will get stared at especially if you're wearing something that catches the eye

I consider Ariana to be safe because people are friendly they will be happy to meet tourists maybe some men will tell u stupid stuff if u wear something that doesn’t match the city if the shorts are too short u can wear whatever in beach places but in a city like Ariana I personally don’t do that only in my small neighbourhood because they don’t dare to talk bad about me since my family lives there
Posted: February 17, 2026Nabeul
Nabeul is a safe city specially in crowded places. It s a quiet small on coast city. However everything closes early (after work hours of 3h max, usually around 7pm or 8pm, it become ghosty a bit ) Of course be aware of thiefs and pickpockets like any other city but overall you will have fun :)

Tunis is fairly safe for women but I would not recommend to walk alone at night however in the morning you won't face any problem anywhere, just be mindful of your belongings. Best places to stay to discover is in Menzah (all 9 districts), Ain Zaghouan, Marsa, Carthage Sidi Bou Said, jardin de carthage, these are the safest neighbourhoods filled with Airbnbs
