During your stay

In the morning, you reach the “capital” of the island: Houmt Souk, with its souk, its fishing port and its 16th century fortress.
You explore the city, between the streets lined with white houses and bougainvillea, the numerous stalls with colorful products and the tea rooms.
In the afternoon, you reach the peninsula of Ras Ras R'mal. It is famous for being wild and the refuge of a large number of pink flamingos depending on the season. After swimming or sunbathing in the hammocks, you will discover the eco-reserve of the peninsula, through the sand dunes.
Day 3: Biking day: Synagogue and Djerbahood
This day will be an opportunity to discover the Jewish quarter of the island. You leave in the morning by bike, for a 32km loop in the hinterland. Head to visit the magnificent Ghriba Synagogue (the most important synagogue in the country and which contains the oldest Torah texts).
And after lunch at a local restaurant in the neighborhood, you hit the back roads for a Street Art afternoon! The walls of the village of Erriadh, also known as Djerbahood, have hosted no less than 250 works by 150 international urban artists. Now a must in Djerba, you can stroll through this authentic and traditional village to discover the splendid paintings.
Day 4: Fadhloun Mosque and Berber city of Guellala
The island of Djerba is peacefully divided between Muslim and Jewish cultures. On the program for this morning, you will visit the Fadhloun Mosque, typical and iconic of the island. After a meal in a local restaurant, in the southwest of the island is the Berber village of Guellala. Several centuries ago, the city was famous for its underground pottery and more than 400 potters. Today, its craftsmanship is still admired there. It will be an opportunity to visit a ceramic workshop, as well as the Djerba Museum, recounting the cultures and heritage of the island.
J5: Free
You live this day at your own pace. Several possibilities are available to you, such as:
- relaxed mode, at the hotel pool or on the nearby beaches
- explorer mode, exploring the region independently
- discovery mode, where we take you into the middle of the desert, to the Berber villages with the troglodyte dwellings of Chenini, Ksar Haddada and Tataouine (one of the filming locations of Start Wars).
Day 6: Walking, steam room and scrub
In the morning, head for the tip of the island and the blue lagoon of Djerba. This still wild place is probably one of the most beautiful on the island. Lunch break in a restaurant by the sea, before enjoying a relaxing afternoon, with steam room and traditional body scrub. Relaxation guaranteed!
Day 7: Kayak/Paddle & Camel Ride
In the morning, kayak and paddle await you to discover the Djerbian coastline from the sea, with the flaming pink peninsula in the background. In the afternoon, what could be better than visiting the island in the manner of the ancient Berbers? In a carriage, on horseback or in a camel, you set off to explore the hinterland and the shores of the island of dreams.
This program is for information purposes only. It can be arranged to take advantage of the best weather conditions every day (heat during summer in particular). In this case, only those responsible for UCPA supervision are authorized to take the necessary decision (s).
