Tour to visit the island:
Located in the Gulf of Gabes, off the coast of Tunisia.
Legend has it that Djerba was the island of the Lotus-Eaters where Odysseus stranded on his voyage through the Mediterranean.
Djerba has a mild climate and a well cultivated soil. Its largest city is Houmt-Souk. The island is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches and dramatic sunsets. It is one of the few remaining places in Tunisia where a Berber language is still spoken.
It is connected to the mainland by a ferry. The crossing takes about fifteen minutes. There is also a seven-kilometer Roman road dating from the late 3rd century B.C. that has been restored (Al Kantara).
Travelers who are planning only short stays can also arrive by plane.
There is a Jewish community that frequents the famous El-Ghriba Synagogue. This synagogue can be visited whenever religious holidays allow.
Djerbahood, open-air art gallery
Djerbahood stands out as an open-air museum located in the village of Erriadh, where over 150 street artists from around the world have transformed streets and walls into vibrant works of art. A unique place that blends Tunisian tradition with contemporary art in a truly authentic setting.
Also worth a visit is Guellala, a picturesque village renowned for its ancestral pottery tradition. Famous for its ceramic workshops and clay kilns, Guellala combines art, history and Berber culture in a genuinely authentic environment.

In Djerba, travellers can enjoy far more than just sun and sea.
