The island of Djerba is the southernmost seaside resort of Tunisia, where it is always a couple of degrees warmer than on the continent. It is famous not only for its fine sand beaches and modern hotels, but also for good thalassotherapy centers.

Bathing-sunbathing and wrapping-wrapping can be diluted with a trip to the medina (the medina in the countries of North Africa call the ancient Arab quarters, surrounded by walls) of the capital of the island of Houmt Souk, see Fort Bordzh-El-Kebir ("Big Tower") and visit the pottery workshops in the town of Gellala.
When all the local sights are safely viewed, one will admire flocks of pink flamingos and picturesque coastal rocks, in which, according to legends, the untold treasures of legendary pirate Dragut Reis are still hidden.

In the labyrinths of the local medina there are dozens of houses of "menzels" in the traditional Arabic architectural style with a dome above the central hall of the building. There are also three mosques: Djemaa el-Gorba (for the followers of the Malekism), Ash-Sheikh (the main mosque of the Ibadites) and Jama'a-Ettruk (Turkish mosque).

On Djerba a lot of greenery, in the shade of which they like to spend the afternoon hours of a flock of pink flamingos. There are a lot of them here, and they are not afraid of people at all.

From the island it is very convenient to go on excursions in the southern region - to the Sahara and the Tatauin area, where there are quaint "ksars" - Berber settlement-honeycombs. By the way, if anyone did not know, many scenes from the Star Wars were shot here, so the name of the planet Tatuin is not at all the fiction of the writers on the level ground. True, Tatooine himself was filmed for the most part in another Tunisian town, Matmata, but it does not change the essence of the matter. Photo of Djerba (19)
