Short Answer

Tunisia: Global Peace Index rank 85/163 (2024), safer than Morocco (88), Egypt (143), Algeria (96). Similar to: Jordan (74), Oman (69). Safer than regional peers after significant security investments post-2015. Tourist areas well-patrolled. No-go zones: limited to Libyan border area (Dhehiba-Ras Jdir) and Mount Chaambi (restricted military zone). Most Western governments rate Tunisia as 'exercise normal precautions' (same as Turkey, Morocco). Night safety: good in city centers and tourist areas, standard caution in remote areas.
