What To Wear In Tunisia
To sum it up - This is a Muslim country, so cover up
- Travel in a Muslim country is very different from Europe or North America. Short tops, short skirts/shorts, tight or body revealing clothes, etc should be avoided altogether.
- Cotton or other natural fibre shirts or T shirts, teamed with cotton trousers or ankle length skirts are good and remember to cover your shoulders or you will be looked at.
- Keep clothing loose - it has the advantage of keeping you cooler anyway and you will get less unwanted attention.
- Make sure you take comfy footwear for daytime and it is best to avoid dangerously high heels altogether - flat sandals will do just fine.
- If you're planing a trip into the dunes, take along a scarf or sarong to tie around your face to keep out the blowing sand.
- When visiting any religious sites, be sure to cover your shoulders and bare legs.
