Is it safe to travel to Tunisia?

A state of emergency was still in place in Tunisia as of July 5.

The country has spent four years recovering from the deadliest non-state attack in the history of the country, in which 30 Brits were killed in a bloody rampage.

Most travel restrictions were overturned eventually following the attack by an Islamic State extremist in Port El Kantaoui, north of Sousse, in 2015.

However, three suicide blasts rocked the capital Tunis in June 2019, leaving a cop dead and wounding eight others.
