----- Muslim Hebronites are considered to be among the most religious in the area. Pretty much all Muslim women - married or not - wear at least the hijab ( the islamic headscarf worn over their hair, ears and neck). Their clothes are typically ample and long, covering their arms and legs.
----- Jewish Hebronites are also considered to be among the most religious in the area. Women wear long skirts (usually, down to the ankle), and tops down to the elbow, with no clivage. Married women wear a kissouy rosh - a jewish head covering. Depending on how the woman fixes it, a bit of hair can be showing on the sides and/or at the top, but that's about it...
Most men in Hebron grow beards. All jewish men and boys (older than 3 years old) wear kippot (skullcaps). They also dress in a conservative fashion: no shorts, sleeveless shirts, etc.
Please note than things are slighty different in Modern Hebron (Kyriat Arba). About one third of the residents there are not religious. That's why you'll see jewish women wearing pants there, married women without a hair covering, and men without a skullcap.
Example of good clothes for a female tourist in Hebron.
Pants and long skirts are both fine.
Now, what about you? How should you dress?
It is in your best interest to respect the residents who are welcoming you into their city. Please, be sensitive to their habits and culture: dress modestly. Long, unrevealing clothes are a perfect choice. Tank tops and short skirts or shirts are NOT appropriate clothing for the Hebron area. Such attire would likely offend some of the residents, and it could place you in an embarassing and unconfortable position.
Last but not least: looking like a tourist is not a problem in Hebron. In fact, it can even be an advantage, since tourists are welcome by both Muslim and Jewish Hebronites.
