Tunisia is a progressive Muslim North African country. It has several influences from Europe, due to the large and important industry of Tourism. Tunisians are eager to please, and are known for being very kind and welcoming. The majority of the population will speak some level of French. It is very useful if you learn a few french phrases before arriving. A much smaller percentage can speak English.

Tunisia is easy to navigate, whether you are renting a car, or taking a bus or train. Tunisians are always glad to help travelers out with timetables and directions.

The US Embassy strongly urges any Americans traveling to Tunisia to register their trip online on this website.
