📣 Traveler notes
Tunisia provides established tourism infrastructure suitable for beach relaxation, exploring ancient ruins, experiencing desert culture, and enjoying local cuisine.
- Plan accommodations early for Independence Day (March 20th) due to potential high occupancy.
- Modest dress is recommended, particularly outside beach areas. Dress codes tend to be more conservative further south. While minority religions are permitted, proselytizing is discouraged. Visitors should observe local customs, especially during Ramadan.
