What is the dress code in tunisia for tourists?

There is no dress code for tourists. You can come wearing shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, bikinis, basically, whatever - As long as you are in the touristicy part of the city. Women even swim and sunbathe topless.

Once you go into the main city, because this is a Muslim country, you should show some respect and dress a little conservatively. I'm not saying cover yourself up or anything like that. Conservative Western street clothing (shorts, short sleeved/sleeveless shirts) is appropriate. Attire for women should be more conservative, such as dress lengths should be below the knee. I myself wear shorts that are about mid-theigh length, flip-flops or sandals, sleeveless or short sleeved shirts, skirts that are a little above my knee, and dresses that are that length, and I've never had any trouble. And keep in mind, that since I live there, I don't just hang around the touristicy areas, I go to all parts of the city, and I have been to very many cities throughout Tunisia.

In short, just use your common sense. If you need any more help, I'll be glad to assist you since I am living in this country. And if you want, take a look at some of my photo Albums that I have on my page and you'll see that we dress just like Westerners.

In the coastal holiday resorts and main cities, the dress code is very much like any European city or tourist areas. If visiting religious sites or more remote areas of Tunisia, you should dress more modestly and avoid any articles of clothing which may cause offence.

stab proof vests and thief proof pockets.

I wouldn't wear shorts but other then that you should be good with what you normally wear.
