All British nationals are being urged to leave Tunisia because "a further terrorist attack is highly likely", Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond says.
The Foreign Office estimates 2,500 to 3,000 UK tourists are in Tunisia and a few hundred British residents.
There is no specific threat, but travel firms are seeking to fly Britons out over the next few days and some are repatriating their British staff.
Thirty Britons were among 38 tourists killed in a gunman's attack on 26 June.
The Foreign Office has also advised against all non-essential travel to Tunisia.
It said although Tunisian authorities had put in place more security measures since the June attack, these did not provide "adequate protection for British tourists".
But Nabil Ammar, the Tunisian ambassador to the UK, told BBC's Newsnight the decision was "what the terrorists want", saying it would also damage the country's tourist industry.
Naveena Kotoor, a freelance journalist in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, said people in the country were "devastated" by the advice to tourists.

My family just paid off our holiday a few days ago (we aren't exactly rich) and it took us so long, we saved bit by bit and we were planning to go to Tunisia and it got cancelled,i'm pretty pissed to be honest but it is for the best I really don't want anyone else to be affected by these attacks,hopefully they deal with this problem and the country can feel safe again.

my dad is from tunisia and iv been there 5 times, 4 times to Sousse the place it happened.... how 3 people can ruin a whole country is sickening, it truly did turn into a good/popular holiday resort aswell, tbh blame the death of saddam is what i say, i mean sure he tortured people but he kept his country in order, look whats happening now.
