Travel Tips
Tunisia is a modern country that takes it's fashion cues from Europe, especially France. There really isn't anything that is off-limits. It's winter now so people are covered up dressing warmly to avoid the cold.

I would follow any rules that you would in any country if you don't want unwanted attention: don't wear short shorts or skirts, don't wear tight clothing, and don't wear low-cut or revealing tops. Bikinis at beaches are okay and a lot of tourists even sunbathe topless here.

Other than that, feel free to dress as you normally would!

I have pictures in my Yahoo Photo Albums that would help show you how people dress. Feel free to look around at any album to see what Tunisians dress like at any given time. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/jamie_hassen...
