always wear a hat in the hot sun, i forgot and payed for it with a few bad headaches. always keep a copy of any prescriptions you may need in case you lose your meds ect or in case of an emergency. names are often changed from country to country and it could save a lot of confusion.mosquito repellant and sun cream is a must. take a jar of your own coffee, tunisian coffee is not like you get at home.
Another virtual tourist recommended very sturdy, tough shoes (such as hiking boots) for exploring the un-renovated ksars in the south. A very good recommendation.Ladies will feel more comfortable with knees and shoulders covered. A compass if you will be driving yourself. Recommend two road maps for driving
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
if you're planning on travelling to go to tunisia always make sure you have decent camera, as there's so many things to see and do. certain things like mosques or sahara desert you cant see any time you want, so i suggest you bring a camera to capture all the surroundings
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.
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...
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!
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.
If you go to the desert wear light clothes, use sunblock and don't forget sunglasses. Expect to have sand under your clothes and shoes for at least three more days :) Take good care of your (digital) cameras, so the sand doesn't get inside. It might ruin the pics and the camera itself. Bring lots of water.
Lightweight clothing that breathes is a must. It can be very very hot. A straw hat is also a must against the sun as is sunscreen. Women will also need to cover their heads to enter certain buildings and should not wear shorts,or short skirts. Also the arms must be covered. Sometimes there is a lot of blowing sand coming in from the desert, so a silk scarf of some kind can be tied over the mouth and nose if you need it.
