The island of Djerba

In the Mediterranean Sea, in the country of Lotophagi, the Island of Djerba is an invitation to an accessible dream that is about 2 hours from Europe. A fairy country welcomes you : dunes and palm trees as far as the eye can see, a sprawling fine sandy beach, a transparent sea, an azure-blue sky and a lustrous sun.

The change of scenery does not finish here since the Island will bewitch you with its Berber folklore and customs. Several excursions are a MUST and will guide you through the typical landscapes and will certainly enthral you : the picturesque village of Midoun, the Museum of Guellala, the Spanish fortress, etc. The souks with their perfume of spices and scents of jasmine are astonishing galleries for handicraft objects. The amazing “auction” fish market of Houmt Souk, the capital of the Island, offers a delightful sight. Fishing is rooted in customs and the initiate will appreciate practicing cast-net, putting nets, keepnet, diving, etc.

Djerba also hides another treasure : the jewellery souk where you can admire unique and exquisite pieces of jewellery.

The Djerbian handicraft manifests itself in their traditional lively coloured dress. You can discover the marriage of different cultures and the variety of ways and customs.

You will be surprisingly enchanted by the Island ‘s calm and serenity.
