Tunisia offers a diverse tourism experience, blending cultural and natural attractions. With historical sites like Carthage and El Djem, it appeals to those interested in archaeology and history. Given that around 600,000 Moroccans travel abroad annually, a portion may find Tunisia an appealing destination.
Tunisia is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Morocco. According to the Global Peace Index, Tunisia ranks 72nd out of 160 countries, while Morocco is slightly lower at 76th. In terms of crime statistics, Tunisia has a higher murder rate at 4.8 per 100,000 people compared to Morocco's 1.9. However, both countries have similar levels of organized crime, with Morocco and Tunisia both scoring 1.0 for mafia group presence. While Tunisia has some higher crime indices in areas like state crime and human smuggling, it also shows lower scores in certain drug-related crimes compared to Morocco. Overall, tourists should remain vigilant, as in any travel situation, but Tunisia is comparable in safety to Morocco.
