A large island, approximately 20 by 20 kilometers, Djerba lies just off the northeastern coast of Africa, in southeastern Tunisia, near the Libyan border. Set on the Gulf of Gabes, the island is known for an eclectic population of residents and tourists, splendid beaches and picturesque villages that feature distinctive, square, whitewashed houses. Houmt Souq is the one large town, with bustling markets and lively outdoor cafes. Djerba, which offers a pirate's castle and fortress-like mosques, is believed to have been the inspiration for Homer's Odyssey. Accessible from the south of Tunisia, a road originally built by the Romans connects the island to the mainland.

An amazing place where you absolutely have to go during your vacations in Djerba. You'll discover the island through a lot of faboulous rambles with our horses, ponies and camels. What ever you want we have necessarily activities made for you and we can promise you a lot of incredible memories.
When we arrived at the ranch, we received by Morgane a very welcoming person who immediately directed us to our horses. We were then taken on a wonderful ride through Djerba. We got to really see the island in the eyes of a resident. On our way back, we took the beach route so we rode along the beautiful coastline for about an hour. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with very nice horses and people.

A real open-air museum, DJERBAHOOD is the place invested by artists from all around the world. The town of Erriadh in Djerba will be hosting this summer the works of hundred of artists from thirty different nationalities.
There, in the middle of nowhere in a sleepy al-Ryad village in the middle of the island, lies a stunning experience. Street art with murals in a whole neighborhood, along restored guest houses and beautiful flowers. What a delight to walk along the narrow alleys and discover great large drawings on walls at every corner. There are dozens of them, from two periods, 2014 and 2018. And while we walk, you really see the villagers living their life, not disturbed by intruders, happy to see people discovering their space. Many women and men in traditional clothes are just living their lives. Children play... And flowers and the restored guest houses add to an absolutely wonderful experience. Kudos to those who created this modern concept while preserving the heritage.
