What to do and see in Djerba Island, Medenine Governorate: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
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.

This is inside Djerba explore. A wonderful immersion into the life inside a Djerbian home, or hosh. With live activities such as pottery, it's really worth the indoor/outdoor experience. And our guide Mohamed was simply outstanding of knowledge and flexibility. He made our visit twice as nice.

We knocked on the door passed 4 pm. He had closed his space as the weather was iffy. But he opened it all up again for us. A specialist in recycled objects, Mr. Jilani, a well-known international artist, has made his home a gem. The garden is decorated with painted doors and artifacts he wroked on. He has a cafeteria there. And inside, underground, it is Ali Baba's cave. Treasures of works from him. All from recycled jewelry to reused wood and glass. Everything you can think of, he has. And he can produce things for you. He painted with a few master brush roles a sea scene in Djerba, in front of our very impressed eyes. And he has interesting conversation. You can sit in a cosy salon space there too, and talk about art, Jerba and the world Spend 2 hours there with a native Djerbian who is a credit to his island. An unforgettable experience

D’abord cette brise marine qui souffle du large, les molles ondulations des palmiers… Puis, les parfums mêlés du sable chaud, du jasmin, des eucalyptus, des épices ; l’appel qui résonne depuis un lointain minaret… Dès le premier instant, un profond bien-être vous enveloppe : vous êtes au pays d’Ulysse, aux portes du Sahara, sur l’île des splendeurs où le rêve devient réalité. Un cadre contemporain où marbre précieux et bois exotiques s’agrémentent de quelques touches orientales ; des éclairages étudiés, des circulations fluides qui vous invitent à la détente : lieu d’exception, l’Athénée Thalasso & Spa fait figure de référence pour des curistes venant du monde entier. Situé au bord d’une des plus belles plages de Djerba, l’Athénée Thalasso & Spa propose un choix de soins et cures fondés sur une tradition d’excellence au plus près des tendances actuelles ; une synthèse idéale entre Thalassothérapie et Spa.
