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.

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
