The capital, Houmt Souk The tourist island of Djerba gives visitors the opportunity to explore fine sandy dunes and the magical oases of the Sahara. © René Mattes
Djerba has become an international tourist destination, but in spite of its concrete hotels, it has not lost one bit of its charm with its small streets deserted during siesta, its less-visited beach and its enchanting port witnessing the arrival of small fishing boats. Do not fail to wander aimlessly along the small streets of Houm-Souk, to shop and admire the architectural quirks of the arcades. Also pay a visit to the ancient El Ghriba synagogue, 7 miles south of Houmt-Souk; its richly decorated interior with paneling, mosaics and stained-glass windows makes it absolutely unmissable.
