Have no idea of specifics, but seeing that both men and women participate in this activity, and assuming the average man weighs between 180-230/lbs. I can't imagine anything much higher would be comfy for the rider, let alone the camel.

That's not to say that a camel, which is often used to transport various merchandise which can be much heavier, I'm sure camels can accommodate a human in the 300+/lbs range.

Still best and not to guess, you "go to the camels mouth...." :) and ask your tour operator to verify with the ground operator who will be with your once in Tunisia.
