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...

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

Nabeul

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

About me

I’m a 24 year old finance graduate and hospitality and tourism management masters student. I often sing and write my own music that is still not ready for release 😌 I’ve visited Turkey twice and France once and am planning to expand my horizons further as soon as I get my financial independence 🤞🏼 I speak Arabic, English, French and Turkish, and can greet and have small talks in German, but would love to learn more languages from locals all around the world 🌎
