Evacuation Day

📣 Traveler notes

Tunisia, situated on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, offers diverse experiences including ancient ruins, Mediterranean beaches, desert culture, and local cuisine. The infrastructure is generally developed.

• Independence Day (March 20th) often results in fully booked hotels; advance booking is advised.
• During Ramadan, expect reduced activity levels as many shops and restaurants close during daylight hours. However, key areas like the Tunis medina remain active in the evening.
• As a Muslim-majority nation, respectful dress is advised, particularly outside beach areas and hotels. Modesty is generally recommended, though some skin exposure is tolerated on beaches. Southern Tunisia tends to be more traditional and conservative than the capital.
