The border area between Libya and Tunisia still is open, and the border movement seems okay as tourists do come in and out of the country as usual. However, the Libyan side of the border is closed at night, probably due to the fact that the border authorities need to prevent cross-border movement of people illegally at night.
Please note that the Libyan side of the border is still open during the day and therefore tourists wishing to enter Libya must do so either in the morning or around midday.
We also hear that the Tunisian police have road blocks between some areas in Tunisia to protect tourists from being attacked while traveling between cities and towns. Otherwise the Tunisian side of the border with Libya is also still open as usual. If you can make it to the Libyan border then your escort will be there to meet you and welcome you into Libya.
