Tunisia is a touristic country and good living standards. Given the relatively small size of the country, all destinations within Tunisia can be reached in a day drive. In addition to the private taxi services, which is well developed in Tunis, the state runs a reliable and cost-effective public transport system. Banks and related digital services are easily available, especially in the Greater Tunis area, in addition to various restaurants, food and beverage services and amenities. According to UNDSS, the security situation is generally stable and terrorism risk level is classified as low or moderate, depending on the region (low in Tunis, for example). The crime rate is considered low, though there have been cases of theft in resort hotels, mostly due to staff leaving attractive items in plain view. Walking alone during daylight hours is permitted, but staff members may want to be more careful at night. The risk of civil unrest is considered low, though in some rare cases it could turn to violent and lead to roadblock. Security advise is systematically shared by UNDSS and UNHCR security staff. It will be important for the UN Volunteer to understand and respect traditions and customs of the duty station.
