Iran War: Is Tunisia Still Safe for Tourists in May 2026? 🇹🇳

Is Tunisia safe to visit right now during the Iran War? I am travel writer Oscar Scafidi (author of the Bradt Guide to Tunisia), and in this video I explain the current Tunisia travel safety situation for April-May 2026, including whether potential tourists should worry about the US-Israeli war against Iran, regional tensions, and their potential impacts on travel safety in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria. Drawing on three years of on-the-ground research across all 24 Tunisian governorates and my Master’s degree in Modern Warfare from King’s College London, I analyse missile ranges, geopolitical realities, and current flight disruptions affecting Gulf transit hubs like Doha, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. I also show you where you can find reliable official travel advice, so that you can make an informed decision before planning your trip to Tunisia or elsewhere in North Africa. ⏱️ CHAPTERS ⏱️ 0:00​​​​ - Intro 0:30 - Why am I making this video now? 0:52 - Who am I?
