Ghlaissia,

Do you know any school in Tunis that you recommend for learning Arabic?

It seems you've moved around a bit, would you recommend shipping furniture and books overseas or just selling everything in the states and buying everything in Tunis?

Thank you Ghlaissia for answering my post! I have another question for you that pertains to culture. My partner is an artist and paints portraits of people (mostly women). He would like to know if this would pose a problem in Tunisia (a Muslim country) also would it be difficult to find women to pose in his studio (modestly of course)? Thank you very much by the way Abydos above is my partner sorry for the confusion!

Hello wmrs526 and of course Abydos
In response to some of your questions, you might not be aware of it but Expat.com has a classifieds section, and for Tunisia it is Tunisia Classifieds.
If you scroll down the page, you'll find the various subsections, such as accomodations etc...
Cheers

You are welcome wmrs526 and Abydos
To answer your questions
realy I am not aware about your parter field in Tunisia if it's available what he is looking for or not, I am an engineer most of my knownelge is in my field only but as you said and for your information Tunisia is only country in the world who has almost 100% of population with same religiom as muslim sunny. So you have to keep this factor in mind for some respect.
- for the school just make a search by private school in Tunisia and you will find what you need just make inquiry with them and I am sure they will give you more information better than me.
regards
Ghlaissia
