Tunisia is generally safe in tourist areas but faces a persistent terrorism threat, particularly in the mountainous border regions with Algeria where armed groups operate. The 2015 attacks on the Bardo Museum and a Sousse beach hotel highlighted the risk to tourists. Tunis, Sidi Bou Said, Hammamet, and Djerba Island are popular destinations with good security. The southern desert regions near the Libyan border should be avoided. Protests can occur without warning in urban areas. Medical facilities in Tunis and coastal cities are adequate. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and avoid border areas with Libya and Algeria.
