The problem with Tunisia from the viewpoint of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office is that the British officials have no great confidence in the ability of the Tunisian authorities. Morocco has a strong government and a powerful force comprising Surete, Gendarmerie Royal, Force Auxiliaries and army. So I continue to describe Morocco as 'Safe, exciting and inexpensive' which is the sub-title of the talks on Morocco I've given over the last eight or nine years.
With few tourists in Tunisia you will stick out like a sore thumb, and all it needs is a guy with a mobile to phone his friends 50km down the road to let them know you are coming.
You've only scratched the surface of Morocco, there's enough to keep you occupied for a couple of decades yet!
