Tunis - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
I don't think it's a problem. There are some people who don't like Americans but most are nice to individuals. - May 2025
The locals are approachable enough but you need French. There is some racism against black Africans. Outside of the elite in Tunis, who are mostly tolerant, there is a lot of anti-semitism. Shortly after I left an old synagogue in another part of the country was burnt by a mob in response to the war in Gaza. - Jan 2024
To some extent. People socialise with family a lot though and that takes priority. - Jun 2022
Not so easy to make friends with Tunisians, but that could be partly due to Covid. - May 2022
