Djerba is the largest island of North Africa, lying off the south coast of Tunisia. It has a rare quality: you can spend your days by the sea, then dive into a truly unique heritage — all without long journeys.
Houmt Souk, the main town, concentrates a lively market and white alleyways where craftspeople and shopkeepers work. Nearby, the village of Erriadh became famous for Djerbahood, a street-art festival that turned its walls into an open-air gallery. Guellala pottery remains one of the island’s best-kept secrets: here, in a village with an almost lunar landscape, a craft that is centuries old lives on.
Last but not least, the El Ghriba synagogue — one of the oldest Jewish pilgrimage sites in the world — overlooks a typical village. A discovery that, as often in Djerba, is best made as a family, at your own pace. From Résidence Fennani, we are happy to help you plan your days.
