I take it the daughter isn't going? No offense intended at all, but that would be priority one for me (as I'm sure it is for you as well). All you can do for your ex is advise her and perhaps provide her with embassy numbers.
I do believe, however, that her new husband is probably correct. His family will ensure her safety and ensure she is aware of local customs and traditions.
Britons in Tunisia have been told to leave the country as the Foreign Office warns more terror attacks are "highly likely" after last month's beach shootings. Extra flights are being put on to bring tourists home and two holiday companies, Thomson and First Choice, are returning their staff to the UK. The Foreign Office said Britons should leave unless they definitely have to stay, adding that people planning to travel there should not unless it was "essential".

No...I would not let her bring my daughter to Tunisia and have told her such. I hold her passport and she is not able to get it re-issued without my consent, so until she is 18 she won't be going anywhere I don't approve.
I think the same of his family....I also think she is in for a rude awakening....she is a strong willed feminist and will likely have a big problem with having to hide herself....either way....she is an adult and can make her own decisions.
I did what I could by talking to her about it, but just wanted to find out if anyone has more relevant information on the area after the UK has now issued their warning.

Much appreciated. Apparently his family is all near the beach where the recent shooting happened. That is where they grew up...it is supposed to be a fairly wealthy area I believe. I think if she stick close to them it will be all good...hopefully her hard headed self won't come out and decide she knows best.

I never meet person from Tunisia and I never been there, but... womans are not welcome in Islam. Only as a wife, house keeper or sex slave. You should ask her, how many wifes he have in Tunisia. Your daughter will be have hard times. In Islam man is God in home. If he is hard Islam believer as his family, he will force Your exwife and Your dauther to convert on Islam.
It is just my worts case scenario but I heard about lot of polish womans used like that.

Women in Tunisia have jobs, are educated, can dress how they want and you can only have one wife. Every country is different. Islam is as diverse as Christianity. You should visit Tunisia it would open your eye about your distorted view of Islam.
The U.S. Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the risks of travel to Tunisia and recommends that U.S. citizens in Tunisia maintain a high level of vigilance in light of recent terrorist attacks on sites frequented by tourists. The Tunisian government has shown its commitment to addressing security concerns and has visibly augmented its security presence at tourist locations, but challenges remain. On July 4, President Caid Essebsi declared a 30-day state of emergency that grants security forces more authority to maintain civil order, enabling the government to focus on combating terrorism. The Minister of Interior stated on July 6 that the state of emergency will assist in securing the hotels and tourist areas. This Travel Alert expires on August 31, 2015.
