Etiquette & Culture

Tunisia follows Arab culture and traditions, although it is one of the more tolerant and liberal Muslim countries. Dress can be informal, but shoulders and knees should be covered when visiting a religious monument. Beachwear should be kept to the tourist resorts.

Tunisians are a very hospitable race; a gift would be advised in appreciation of hospitality or as a token of friendship. Shaking hands is the usual form of greeting.
