What to do and see in Djerba Island, Medenine Governorate: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
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.

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.

Two top museums - the Islamic art one and the heritage one, a nice space and outdoors, and, for fans, the crocodile and turtle farm. Only damper. The cafeteria is extremely expensive so avoid eating or drinking there. Bravo to the designers and this who are keeping this space well maintained.

This is easy to find. Easy disabled access. Plenty of picnic space or little cafes etc. Nice souvenir shops. It’s a combined ticket with museums to see. Good for all ages. I think the best attraction in Djerba and great value. Best to go about 1 or 2 and enjoy the museums then get ready to see the crocodile feed at about4 or 5. We easily spend over 4 hours there. The crocodiles are amazing and so well looked after.

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.
