In Tataouine, men greet by kissing on the shoulders. In Matmata, old women greet by kissing many kisses on one cheek and one on the other cheek. In Gbeli, the old men and women greet by kissing the hands alternately. In north Tunisia, there are no specific greetings. When they meet they greet by kissing two or three kisses each one on the cheek.
