How hot is it going to get in Tunisia this summer?

Any ideas on the weather? what to wear, what to bring? I know shorts of course, but I was hoping for some full coverage ideas. Anyone know when it starts to get really hot? thanks

It depends on what part of Tunisia you are going to as to what the temperature will be like.

I can tell you that the whole country will be hot and humid! For an estimation of what the weather will be like in the city you are going to visit, go to http://weather.yahoo.com/regional/TSXX.h... and in the big blue box where it gives detailed information for the day, click on the link that says "Records & Averages" and it will give you a better idea of what the weather is like.

Be sure to bring:

*Sunscreen/suntan lotion
*shorts
*short sleeved/sleeveless shirts
*1 or 2 nice outfits to go out to the discos with or have a nice
night on the town with
*bathing suit
*sandels
*walking shoes
*money
*camera (plenty of film if not digital; extra memory & batteries if it is digital)
*toiletries
*make-up (used at night because during the day it is very hot and you will sweat it all off)
*travel adaptor (just in case)
*anything that you use to do your hair (make sure to pack at least one clip to keep your hair up as the air is hot and humid and your hair will get sticky against your neck)
*sunglasses
*small supply of various medicines in case you get sick
*hat

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-thigh 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. Feel free to contact me any time.
