Is it safe to travel to Tunisia?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a question many people, and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some years ago, Tunisia was one of the most visited countries in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this used to be a mass tourism destination, mainly visited by Europeans seeking a budget holiday that included sandy beaches and a lot of sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in 2015, a series of terrorist attacks perpetrated by ISIS that exclusively targeted tourists put an end to the industry which thousands of Tunisians depended on, as many people in the West began to question – and for good reason – whether Tunisia was a safe destination or not for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be fair, I can understand all the skepticism but, as always tends to happen in most Muslim countries, that fear has been powered up by the media, who will always tell you only one side of the story but, once you are on the ground, you realize that the reality of is quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a comprehensive analysis of the current safety situation in Tunisia from a traveling perspective, including my personal experience, safety tips and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
