Your day of cultural and artisanal exploration begins with a direct pick-up from your accommodation in Djerba. First stop is the renowned Roman causeway, an ancient pathway that once linked this North African island to the mainland. As you enjoy the splendid sea views, your guide will outline the day's itinerary and share fascinating stories about Djerba's rich history.
Next, you'll travel to Guellala, a charming village renowned for its traditional pottery skills, passed down through generations. Here, you'll experience an ethnographic museum that brings local customs and traditions to life, complemented by a live demonstration of authentic pottery-making techniques.
After that, you'll delve into the island's spiritual heritage by visiting the historic El Ghriba Synagogue, which was built by a Jewish community seeking refuge after the destruction of Solomon’s Temple. Then, you'll venture to Djerbahood, an animated open-air art district where vivid street art adorns the whitewashed walls of narrow lanes.
The day will conclude in Houmt Souk, the island’s capital. Enjoy some leisure time to wander through the old town, discover the bustling market and perhaps purchase a handmade souvenir of your unforgettable experience.
