Tunisia Travel Advice

Travellers should be aware of the threat from terrorism in Tunisia.

Following police action against an armed terrorist group on 3 January 2007 the Tunisian authorities announced that 12 of the group had been killed and 15 arrested. It is believed the group were planning attacks against Western interests, including embassies. There are continuing police roadblocks at major intersections. Travellers are advised to maintain a high level of vigilance with regard to personal security whilst in Tunisia.

Travellers are strongly advised not to attempt to cross the border into Algeria if travelling independently. Caution is advised to those intending to travel to the southeastern Algerian provinces of Tamanrasset, Djanet and Illizi and recommended that visitors travel with a reputable tour company or an approved local guide.
