Etiquette in Tunisia

Dining: When invited to their homes, check the invitation and make sure that your spouse is also invited because conservative Tunisians do not entertain mixed-sex groups. You should dress well because it is a sign of respect towards the host. Compliment their home. You may be asked to remove your shoes.
Table manners: The guest of honor sits next to the host. Water will be poured over your hands in a washing basin before the meal is served. Dry your hands on the towel provided. Male and females eat separated: first men and then women. The host will bless the food and then you can begin to eat. You should eat from the section of the bowl that is in front of you because it is not considered right to reach across the bowl to get something from the other side. You can eat with your hands or with a knife and fork. Spoons will be given for eating couscous. If you choose to eat with your hands, you should only use the right one. It is considered good manners to try a bit of everything. At the end of the meal, the washing basin will be brought around the table again.
Malouf is a type of Arabic music very popular in Tunisia. It was chased out of Spain, was imported to North Africa, Tunisia in particular, at the end of the 15th century. It grew so popular that it became Tunisi's true music. It was named 'malouf', which means 'that which is normal'. The origin of this music can be traced back to Portugal and Spain.
