 palms in the desert by kazander if you're traveling around by car like we did, not too much luggage it's a pain to drag in and out of the hotels.
conservative clothing to cover up those shoulders and legs. Sunglasses, some good sneakers or hiking shoes.
Everything you could possibly think that you will need! It's not easy finding things in the smaller towns
you will find a polarizing filter will be very helpful!
We brought the Lonely Planet-Tunisia guide book with us, we couldn't have survived without it! It was very helpful when deciding which town we would visit as well as which hotels we would stay at. This book came complete with a ton of maps, which are very important, especially in the cities! You can also get maps from the car rental or in the airport. Leave a Comment

Adapt your clothes to the season. In summer you should be careful with the sun, after all you are in Africa. In winter it is sometimes rather cold, so think to take at least a warm pullover along. We were there in spring, and as you can see on the photos, we were wearing pullovers in the morning, even in the Sahara
As a lady, you should think to take your necessary toiletries along, you might have problems to get this stuff. Medical supplies should include an antibiotic against stomac problems, and a goog medicament to help you against Montezunas Revenge. Very hard guys use the local CousCous to prevent Tourista.
In Tunis no problem, in the small villages in south, you should have your own things along. Leave a Comment

Buying sun-cream in Tunisia proved to be more difficult than I would have guessed. At the Monoprix in Tunis it wasn't stocked at all, while at the airport in Tunis, the cheapest one they sold was a small bottle of Factor 50, for 23 Dinar! This is extremely expensive though as I was burning up I went ahead and bought it. Most restaurants and even some hotels in Tunisia were cheaper than this! Leave a Comment

brrr. the desert is hot in the day but cold at night, literally freezing! lots and lots of layers, I tell you. Chicks don't really wear t-shirts, or at least ones with short arms. sunglasses because it gets very bright in the day
toilet paper or packs of tissue! very important. maybe some aspirin when you get post traumatic toilet disorder from louage station toilets.
watch out for cameras in the south, because sand gets in everywhere and it's insanely dusty. Leave a Comment

by kitkat1980 It is more than likely to be hot, so you need plenty to keep you cool. Gentleman must however wear trousers on an evening in most hotels, and a t-shirt during the day in hotels. I also would make sure you have something to cover up as a lady if you were to want to go out and about ( so you dont attract un wanted attention)
You should make sure you have plenty of sun tan lotion with you, as tunisia can get extremly hot especially in the summer months, bring plenty of after sun and things to cool you down. Some people get troubled by mosquitos in tunisia, however I havent had any problem but it might be worthwhile taking some just in case. Some imodeon may also be useful as the large amount of dairy food in the tunisian diet can take some peoples stomaches a little to get used to.
Tunisia can be very beautiful at night and during the day , so bring film to take some snaps of those memories. Also a camera with a good flash can be usefull as even in hotel grounds it is extremly dark on a night and there is very little else.
Plenty of water, it is always useful to take some water with you, you cannot drink tunisian water and if you have a long transfer from the airport , the water can be a life saver due to the heat. Leave a Comment

We used two guide books for our trip: Lonely Planet's Guide to Tunisia and Rough Guide's Tunisia. I am a big fan of both these publishers and normally there is little to choose between them but on this occasion the Rough Guide was a clear winner. It covered far more of the smaller, off-the-beaten path places, while it's coverage of the bigger cities (Tunis, Kairouan, etc) was so much better. Leave a Comment

 No more burning. by cazz38 Tunisia gets very hot in peak season,we buy a product called p20.Its a factor 20 and waterproof,its been tested in the Sahara,you only put it on once a day,it takes an hour and half to bined with your skin and its exellent,my son who is very fair used it and he didn't burn once.Its expensive but worth every penny,it can be bought at the airports duty free shops.

When in Tunisia you may find yourself visiting a mosque so it is advised you take some clothes that cover the legs, torso & arms for a simple matter of respect for others that may be at the Mosque

 Great moment to take a picture in Tunisia by Ann75 A camera is something you just have to take. There are so many opportunities to see different scenery, animals, sunsets, the desert. You name it...there is so much to see and to put on film! Leave a Comment

 A mosque in Kairouan by Ann75 If you are planning to visit mosques, then make sure to bring some clothes that cover your shoulders and your legs! When you enter a mosque you have to have a shirt that covers your shoulders and preferable pants or a long skirt/dress. Leave a Comment
