Discovery of Djerba Island Tour - 1 Day

At 8:30 AM, our team will pick you up from your location in Djerba or Zarzis and take you on a 1-day island tour in Djerba to discover its most interesting sites!

Head towards the Roman causeway (the only paved road connecting the island to the mainland) and enjoy a quick photo stop during which your guide will brief you on the detailed itinerary for the day!

Next, head to Guellela, the pottery village par excellence, where this craft is passed down from father to son! The first stop will be at the traditional heritage museum of Djerba, better known as the Guellela Museum. This is where you’ll be introduced to local life. You’ll learn about the Djerbian way of life, architecture, weddings, the economy, and much more! The visit will take at least an hour, so take your time! Once introduced to Djerba’s way of life and traditions, it will be time to see things live! Your guide and driver will take you to a local workshop, where the gentleman will gladly demonstrate the methods of making clay products. After the traditional pottery demonstration, you'll have time, if you wish, to shop on-site.

From Guellela, you’ll head to the famous “Ghriba,” the oldest Jewish synagogue in North Africa, where you’ll have time to visit with your guide. I must mention that at the entrance, you’ll need to remove your shoes and cover your head (hats and scarves are provided on-site).

Next, head to the artistic alleys of DjerbaHood, a village with typically Djerbian architecture, where over 100 artists from around the world have left their signatures on the walls... Don’t forget your cameras!

By this time, it will be noon, so it’s the perfect time for a meal... Djerbian style! Your guide will take you to the fish market in Houmt Souk, where you’ll be introduced to the rare method of fish sales known as "à la criée" (auction-style)! Visit the market, and your guide will choose the freshest fish of the day for you. Then, in the nearby restaurant, the owner will grill it for you and serve it at your table, along with a nice Tunisian salad and fries.

Once your belly is full, it’s time to take a walk and digest a bit! Follow your guide as you stroll through the alleys of Houmt Souk. Discover the old caravanserais, also known as “Fondouks,” and learn more about the caravan traders! Visit the spice market and the covered souk, where you can find everything you need for shopping and souvenirs!

At the end of the day, head to Djerba Explore and take your time to visit these 3 attractions! Start with the Lella Hadhria Museum, the Heritage module, and of course, the crocodile park!

Once the visit is complete, our team will accompany you back to your hotel, marking the end of your tour. We hope to see you again for more discoveries!
