City advice

Customs and culture

Tenues décentes partout. Decent clothes everywhere.

EN - Decency: Due to muslim environment, we recommend to women and young women to wear decent clothes in the medina or during excursion (no pair of short, no deep neckline...) and also to men (no short, no shirtless). FR - Tenues décentes : Etant donné l’environnement musulman, il est recommandé aux les femmes et jeunes filles de vêtir une tenue décente pour toute promenade en ville ou en campagne (pas de décolleté plongeant, pas de mini-jupe ou de short…) ainsi que pour les hommes (pas de short).
Customs and culture
