Géographie et climat : La Tunisie est le plus petit pays de la côte nord-africaine, avec une population d'un peu plus de 10 millions d'habitant.e.s, dont environ 60% vivant en milieu urbain et a l'un des niveaux de vie les plus élevés du continent. Tunis est la capitale du pays et la plus grande ville (environ deux millions d'habitant.e.s, dans et autour de la ville proprement dite). Le pays étant relativement petit, toutes les destinations à l'intérieur de la Tunisie peuvent être accessibles en une journée de voiture. La Tunisie a des frontières avec la Libye (sud-est) et l'Algérie (ouest).

La Tunisie a un climat méditerranéen. Le long des côtes du nord de la Tunisie, les étés sont chauds et secs, et les hivers sont chauds et pluvieux. Dans le nord-ouest, il y a parfois des chutes de neige dans les montagnes. Dans le sud de la Tunisie, il fait plus chaud et plus sec. Le sud de la Tunisie, où commence le Sahara, est semi-désertique. Dans certaines parties, il y a des oasis avec des palmiers géants et de petits jardins maraîchers.

La religion : Environ 99 % de la population est de confession musulmane, en particulier de l'islam sunnite, qui est la religion principale et d'État. La Tunisie compte également une petite population chrétienne, composée de catholiques romaines, de membres de l'Église orthodoxe grecque et de protestantes françaises et anglaises. Par ailleurs, une petite population de Juif.ve.s séfarades réside également dans le pays.

Économie : Le pays ne dispose pas de vastes stocks d'hydrocarbures comme ses voisins, l'Algérie et la Libye, mais il a prospéré grâce à des politiques gouvernementales de longue date visant à développer l'industrie, le tourisme et l'agriculture. En même temps, les programmes sociaux limitent la croissance démographique, assurent un niveau d'éducation élevé et un niveau de vie relativement décent pour tous/toutes. Les produits agricoles et miniers, qui génèrent plus de 11 milliards de dollars par an, représentent le pourcentage le plus important des exportations tunisiennes. Les principaux partenaires d'exportation de la Tunisie sont la France et l'Italie. La Tunisie est membre du Fonds arabe de développement économique et social (FADES), du Fonds monétaire arabe et de l'Union du Maghreb arabe (UMA).

Transport en commun : En plus des services de taxis privés, l'Etat dispose d'un système de transport public fiable et économique.

Sûreté et sécurité : Le taux de criminalité est faible, mais il y a déjà eu des cas de vol. Il est permis de marcher seule pendant la journée, mais il est préférable d'être plus prudente la nuit. La Tunisie traverse encore une période critique de transition démocratique et sociale. Le débat politique animé s'est parfois transformé en une confrontation localisée entre les opposantes idéologiques. Bien que ces tensions ne soient pas liées aux étrangères, il est néanmoins important de se tenir au courant de la situation politique. Par conséquent, les conseils en matière de sécurité sont systématiquement envoyés par le personnel de sécurité du DSS et du HCR. Depuis 2015, il n'y a pas eu d'attentats terroristes en Tunisie.
