Visiting Tunisia

I’m an Indian-American woman, fluent in French and learning Arabic. I’m hoping to visit my friend (he’s Arab) who’s living in Tunisia. Do you have any advice on how to be respectful of the local culture and maybe engage with the queer community there? And I would love any advice on what to see as someone interested in food, art, nature, history, architecture, language, dancing, and music. I’d also like to connect with local people and learn about what it means to be Tunisian!
