Hi Tootsy,

It is a muslim country but they are not very strict in that way with tourists, you can wear what you like most of the time when in tourist areas :-)

lol no problem

In Tunisia it is more of a problem of looking ***y and getting whistled at ie in a tourist area you see it all including people shopping in swimming costumes lol but in souks and town centres you would feel naked and boys would stay at you like an alien spaceship.

For example to my wife there is this invisible barrier that is like a wall between the beach and the promenade/pool and the hotel where on the one side she wairs a bikini and the other she wears 3/4 shorts and t -shirt.

Its a randy boy rather than religious thing for her.

Not a problem. We've been entering Tunisia 4 over 20 years.
