LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — HIGH RISK

Same-sex activity is criminalised — discretion essential

Local law: Article 230 Penal Code — up to 3 years prison. Forced anal examinations documented.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Do not use LGBTQ+ dating apps — police entrapment via apps is documented. If you must, install a VPN before arrival.
Avoid carrying LGBTQ+ identifiers (flags, books, screenshots) in luggage.
Phone searches at airports can include checks for LGBTQ+ content — delete sensitive chats/photos before crossing borders.
If travelling with a same-sex partner, present yourselves as "friends" or "colleagues"; book separate hotel rooms for safety.
Use Signal or Wire for sensitive messaging — not WhatsApp.
Keep emergency cash (USD/EUR) and two separate payment cards.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.

A very well-located hotel offering access to its private beach for a reasonable 10 dinars parking fee. The problem is that every time we're met with a poor reception from the staff managing the parasols… it's obvious they have nothing to do with tourism!
