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.

I'm almost at the point of losing my memory, everything was such a disaster. I only recommend this place to people who have absolutely nothing to lose. This establishment is a disgrace personified, and I mean it.

Hayet gave us a wonderful welcome and took great care of us. I highly recommend this hotel; the staff were incredibly attentive. The hotel is well located, close to all the attractions like Carthage, La Marsa, La Goulette, etc.
