After a brief look on the internet, there is advice, that it is safe to travel in some parts of the country
It advises against going close to Libya
So I googled travel advice for Libya
It is advised, not to go there

And I have to say, I find some of the previous posts, very insulting

Most tourists go to the Mediterranean area, the resorts there.
Indeed the border areas and most of the south is advised to not go to.
Tunisia is a beautiful country! I got someone on my FB who regularly goes there with his family. He is from Tunisia originally.
They're also doing lots concerning women rights, having women in the army, police and so on.

Morocco you mentioned is also a Muslim country. But their younger king wants tourist and has done things to make it safer for tourists. For instance lot of undercover police in the streets of cities, including Marrakech.
I investigated that before me and my then partner decided to go there. Okay, things may have changed, but if so I hope for the better :)
We traveled regularly by bus through the city, which I felt was a wee bit tricky, packed in among Moroccans, poor people mostly, and barely space to move your arms. We were stuck against the side of the bus, but nothing happened.
We did get some looks from people, apparently it's not common for white people to hop on the bus, hihi.
We was fine, just once my partner noticed 2 blokes who behaved suspiciously, seemed to follow us. My partner had a brand new bloody expensive camera...
It was crowded but sometimes that not an advantage. We quickly made our way towards a cop that was directing traffic and they f*(ked off.
I was happy my ex was always very good at spotting such things as I'm crap at it.

Not sure if I'd go to Tunisia. Certainly not on my own.

if she won't go then i think i'll pass too

I think Tunisia is safer than morroco . Two Norwegian girls (young women in their twenties) were beheaded last year in morroco . It was all over the news .

Sarbri is right . Danger is everywhere .. Even in New Zealand . Obviously if anyone visists another country ., no matter what country protect yourself and stay safe .

I think maybe the difference is that in Tunisia most everyone stays up north in tourist resorts whereas in Morocco people just go into the cities etc.
Also, women alone is not a smart move in any such country I think.

Never been to Tunisia but had a great time in Morocco, hiking in the Atlas mountains hanging out in Jemaa el-Fnaa, what a vibrant place, riding camels smoking the best hashish and the tagines are superb and so inexpensive if you go to the right places, alcohol is always available at the hotels.. Welcome Sabri smokin

Oh yes, the Jemaa El-Fna was great in Marrakech. The sukh bordering it as well! We got lost in there. My then partner didn't feel too great, neither did I as it was getting dark. I'm fine in such places during day, been there in Jakarta many times when I lived there. But at night the vibe and people change.
But we couldn't find our way out. Luckily we bumped into another bunch of English people with the same problem, then there was some 6 of us. When we finally made it out we took a taxi to a nice western-like brasserie to recover from our adventure, hihi.

Yeah it could be frightening getting lost in the souks, I did too, I was staying in a medina just off the square, great spot and only 9 Euro's a night, I got propositioned in the square one night and declined the offer, and the next morning I ran into the girl while I was in the barbers getting a shave, you could have lit a spliff off her face when I smiled and said Salaam-Alaikum to her.. smokin

Would definitely go back though.

Would definitely go back though.

I'd like to go back there too at some point (not alone). I'd then want to visit the blue city (cannot remember its name now).
You remember how at night the whole square gets packed with foodstalls and whatnot?
Around that time I was going to have a pedicure as I had a serious problem which made walking unpleasant. My then partner was going to wait in a huge 3 story coffee place/restaurant.
When I was done I was to meet him there. But when I got there he wasn't... It was getting increasingly dark, I was almost running through all the stories, nothing.
I didn't know what to do, couldn't remember how to phone when abroad. Did I use my country code or Morocco's?
I decided to make my way back to the pedicure place and met him half way on the square. He'd decided to meet me at the pedicure's. slaphead

I think he got uncomfortable on his own among all those Moroccans without me. It was really odd, I felt like a fish in water there, it reminded me of Jakarta, that great vibe. He didn't like it at all!
So to please him we went into the mountains on a trip to Quarzarzate. Meaning I got sick as a dog, haha. Apparently I get mountain sickness when I go up too fast. Most people did btw. But he was happy, lol.

Yeah, I loved that time of the evening, the place just erupted with sounds and colour, then all stopped for the call to prayer, amazing, the Harisa soup at the food stalls was like a warm hug after trekking around all day, I went in March by myself but met loads of people. The blue city is called Chefchaouen, I think I would like to go to Casablanca the next time I visit.

Nice photos! You look very happy :)
And the colours, yes! I remember those herb & spices shops with the huge bags of them outside. i think like you have in that one piccie. But then during the day, the richness in colour love

Made me feel like Vincent van Gogh, hihi. I'm quite sure his pallette looked much like those herbs & spices, hihi.

I was happy, some of the best hashish I ever tasted smokin

I ended spending about 100 euro's on spices tea's and music to bring home, it definitely was one of my favourite trips, it really did touch all the senses for sure.. winking

Besides look at different types of sand, what is there to do there?

The historical and archaeological ruins of Carthage:

"Today, Carthage is a wealthy suburb of Tunis, its villas surrounded by gardens full of red hibiscus blossoms and purple bougainvillea. The scanty remains of the once mighty Phoenician city of Carthage lie scattered across the neighborhood. Despite their ruinous state, these UNESCO World Heritage Site remnants are one of the top things to do in Tunis and definitely worth a sightseeing trip from the central city to take in the atmosphere of a glorious, long-gone past and admire their beautiful setting backed by the sea."

My friend, I mean no disrespect to yourself or your country
But it is not currently regarded as a popular tourist destination
I believe there were some incidents, that put people off
Also as a largely Muslim country I believe, I'm not sure if alcohol, is legal
That's pretty much a deal breaker, for many people
Morocco, maybe, Tunisia, doubtful

Hello, R2-D2, it shows that you are misinformed, the largest consumer of alcohol in the Arab countries is Tunisia, besides the Algerians the Lybians Qatari ... Come to Tunisia to escape local bans. Our country is considered one of the European countries, for information, our Ministry of Tourism is a Jew.

Visit the monuments if you are a fan of history (3000 years of civilization). More than 1000 places to party. The hikes and the change of scenery to see too.

Hello Sabri ., you live in a beautiful country bigsmile

Perhaps rather than invite strangers .. get to know people first .

If you have photos or information to share about Tunisia you could start a separate thread . It is always interesting to learn about other countries .

A warm Welcome to mingle . Hope you are enjoying the site waving

Hello Blondey111, I have a lot of foreign friends to whom I have good plans, they come here, I meet them and I show them things that a tourist alone will not see. Thank you for your empathy.
And Yes I enjoy :grin:

My understanding is that Tunisia has a few nice cities on the coast but the rest is a serious desert, isn't that correct?

Yes, but it all depends on the type of tourism you want to do. Because here we have a great diversity, beach tourism, party, landscapes, sahara, medicine, history ... As if you are in the US you have California and Texas Nevada :wink:
