Description

Discover Djerba's rich history and culture on a guided tour. Visit Ghazi Mustapha Fort, explore Houmt Souk, admire street art in Djerbahood, and enjoy a sunset at Sidi Yati Mosque.
Begin your journey with a visit to Ghazi Mustapha Fort, one of the island’s most important historic landmarks. Located by the sea in Houmt Souk, the fort reflects Djerba’s rich history and offers beautiful views of the coastline. Your guide will share the story of the monument and its importance to the island.

Continue to Houmt Souk, the capital of Djerba. Walk through the lively souks and discover the authentic atmosphere of everyday life on the island. Browse small shops, local handicrafts, spices, traditional products, and cafés while discovering the island’s local traditions. You will also have some free time to explore the narrow streets at your own pace and take photos.

Your next stop is Djerbahood, located in the village of Erriadh. Here, traditional whitewashed houses have become canvases for artists from around the world. Colorful street-art murals create a unique contrast between traditional Djerbian architecture and contemporary art. Your guide will introduce you to some of the most interesting artworks and tell you about the artistic project that transformed the village into an open-air gallery.

Continue to Guellala, a village renowned for its pottery tradition, passed down through generations. Discover the island’s traditional craftsmanship and see how local potters work with clay to create traditional objects. Learn about techniques that have been preserved and passed from one generation to the next. This stop offers an authentic insight into the importance of craftsmanship in Djerba’s cultural identity.

End your discovery of the island at Sidi Yati Mosque, located in a peaceful setting near the sea. Take a moment to relax and watch the sun slowly disappear over the horizon. Away from the busiest tourist areas, this is one of the highlights of the experience: a beautiful Djerbian sunset in an authentic setting, surrounded by the sea, traditional architecture, and golden evening light.

Before returning to your hotel, enjoy a traditional Tunisian fricassé, a popular local street-food specialty. This delicious snack gives you the chance to taste an authentic Tunisian favorite in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
