Unforgettable Djerba
Shining out from the Gulf of Gabes like the much-prized tourist gem it is, Djerba is one of the most appealing holiday spots in North Africa. Although increasingly dominated by modern resorts, the history and culture of Tunisia’s ‘Isle of Forgetfulness’ cannot be washed away. ... Read more »
Ethnically, Djerba is a mix of Berber, Jewish, Maltese and Ibadi Muslim, and its many attractions – such as the holy town of El Riadh and the grand Bassi Mosque –reflect this diversity. The ancient town ofBûrgû contains a tomb with the remains of members of the Numidian Royal Family,and the medieval fortress that surrounds the town of Houmt Soukis testament to the ancient significance of the island. Add to that picturesque beaches, turquoise waters and some of the best sunsets you’ll ever see and you’ll start to get an idea of the unforgettable magic and majesty of Djerba.
DJERBA’S TOP 10
10. El Ghriba Synagogue One of the oldest synagogues in the world, it is the sight of a pilgrimage for many Tunisian Jews after Passover. |
5. Midoun A smaller town than Houmt Souk, Midoun is as idyllic as it is sleepy, with plenty of historical swagger to keep you interested. |
9. Bassi Mosque Soak up the strong Islamic culture of the island by exploring the history of this place of worship. |
4. Zone Touristique Resort city, with most of the best beaches being owned by the hotels. Relax with a cocktail as you ponder the concept of someone ‘owning’ a beach. |
8. Houmt Souk Markets Get lost, get enchanted and get a bargain! |
3. Plage des 5000 Ans The ‘Beach of 5,000 Years’ is a pristine stretch of sand that – remarkably – is still free to the public. Hurry! |
7. Houmt Souk Museum Discover the many influences and cultures that have contributed to modern-day Djerba. |
2. The Museum of Popular Arts Showcases the cultural expressions of, among others, the Berber people of the region. You’ll be amazed at how intoxicating its beauty is. |
6. Houmt Souk Casino Proof that money reigns supreme even in the most religious and remote of places. Try your luck at blackjack in Arabic. |
1. Borj El K’bir Fort A medieval fortress on the waterfront. This is what North Africa is all about. |
DJERBA EVENTS
Lag BaOmer is a pilgrimage undertaken by thousands of Jews from around the world to the El Ghriba Synagogue each May.

WHEN TO GO
· With a pleasant Mediterranean climate, there’s no bad time to visit Djerba.
· While Djerba experiences four distinct seasons, winter temperatures only ever fall to around 15°C (59°F), while summer averages around 30°C (86°F).
· Make sure you pack the sunscreen and stay hydrated – the hot, dry climate and enticing beaches make for a melanoma party if you’re not careful.
GETTING AROUND
· Taxis in Djerba are cheap, with most having a set rate so you know you’re not going to be ripped off. But still try to get an estimate on cost before getting in.
· One of the more novel methods of making your way around the island is to hire a quad bike. Feel the wind in your hair (and watch for old ladies crossing) as you zip around all the attractions.
