THE ISLAND OF DREAMS ... DJERBA THE SWEET

Djerba is a little gem in southern Tunisia, and today represents the largest island off the coast of North Africa.

The island of Djerba has a charm to which many people have succumbed and still succumb today. Indeed, Ulysses would have crossed it at the time and would have almost interrupted his journey so he was captivated by his charm.

The island of Djerba has known several civilizations, which gives it this unique aspect. Since the 1960s, Djerba has started to attract tourists who come and return there every year for the holidays. Its capital, Houmt Souk, is known for its crafts, its jewelers and its fishing port.
