I visited Tunis as a solo female Muslim traveller. I did meet local friends while there, but part of the time I was walking around on my own. I found Tunis to be safe and friendly. English is not widely spoken but you can get by with French. Love it!

Things seem to close quite early in the surrounding area (medina) so it can seem quite scary walking back to the hotel in the evening as a solo female (I made sure not to stay out too late), but having said that, I never felt unsafe.

"Pristine stay!!! The best hotel I’ve been in Tunisia hands down. Everything about it was fantastic from the service to the comfort to the cleanliness to the food. Will definitely rebook! "
"The reception staff are very welcoming and always ready to help (my AirFrance flight got extremely delayed, arrived the next day. The staff sorted out my accommodation without requesting it. check-in was a breeze). The rooms are modern and clean. Breakfast spread, not a lot but good selection. Will definitely choose Radisson for my next trip. "
"The police were heavy on the streets with machine guns. If you went out after dark to get dinner there were drunk people and people fighting in the streets... men would expose themself and urinate not caring who could see
The hotels facilities were filthy the bed had bed bugs and my husband was all bit up. The breakfast that was supposed to be included never existed. I feel lucky to be alive and out of that place!"
