POSSIBLE DANGERS IN TUNISIA

With its perfect Mediterranean beaches, exquisite lakes and forests, and the Saharan dunes, Tunisia is a country of spectacular natural beauty. It is also known for its friendly people and warm welcome to visitors. Foreigners are unlikely to be specifically targeted in any unrest here – but there is a risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your Tunisia insurance should protect you and your assets against this possibility. Stay informed of current events, including soccer games, which have sometimes led to violence.

Street crimes such as pickpocketing and bag snatching are on the increase, so take sensible precautions and ensure your Tunisia insurance adequately covers your belongings. Carry photocopies of identification and travel documents, keeping the originals in a safe place.

There is no free medical care for non-Tunisians, so adequate Tunisia health insurance is essential. Medical costs often have to be paid for on the spot and can be high. Make sure you take a supply of any prescription medicines you need. Do not drink untreated water outside the major cities.

Driving can be dangerous, especially at night. Local drivers generally ignore traffic signals and cars rarely stop at traffic lights. They may drive on the wrong side of the road. Bicycles, scooters and motorcycles often have no lights or reflectors and tend to dart in and out of traffic.
