Djerba sweetheart...Eternal Odyssey call, this island-oasis unique in its kind within the Mediterranean seduces each traveller in search of beauty. Getting out of the International Airport of Djerba-Zarzis the first emotion: Djerba island is a genuine floating garden covered by hundreds of thousands palms. Strolling among these olive trees, you appear to walk within Eden orchard where fig, pomegranate, carob, apple and apricot trees are growing up...Without forgetting that you can also stroll upon this magnificent coastal navy which spreads as far as Zarzis. There, sandy beaches are so fine, so white and the crystal-clear sea is so hot that you will enjoy it. Fish and Shellfish abound in these seas and the houses around, typically Djerbian, are themselves only a new show for you.

Houmet Souk: being the main place in the island, this smart small town is known to keep for itself a particular life rhythm.

A district of souks crossed by numerous alleys where diverse craftsmen corporations are gathered.
