Djerba Tour + Guellela Museum Tickets
Description
On this tour of Djerba, we'll uncover the hidden gems of Tunisia's largest island. This journey will take us through the Guellela Museum, an ancient synagogue, vibrant murals, and deep-rooted ancestral heritage.
Tour Details
At the specified time, we'll begin by picking you up from your hotel in Djerba. Get ready to embark on an enriching journey filled with culture and diversity.
Our first stop will be the Roman causeway, an ancient bridge linking the island to the mainland. While enjoying the view of the sea, we’ll share insights about Djerba’s history and the key locations we'll visit during our tour.
Next, we'll proceed to Guellela, a charming village famous for its traditional pottery. Here, you'll attend a workshop demonstration to observe the crafting of these unique pieces firsthand. You will also have approximately one hour to explore the Guellela Heritage Museum independently, where you'll discover local customs, traditional weddings, the local economy, and much more. This is a true cultural deep dive!
Following that, we will visit the El Ghriba Synagogue, the oldest in North Africa. You'll have about 45 minutes to explore this historical site. Did you know it was established by Jews fleeing from the Temple of Solomon?
Our journey continues in Djerbahood, an open-air museum where over 100 artists have transformed the narrow streets into an impressive showcase of urban art. Wandering through these artistic avenues is an experience that truly engages the senses.
We will conclude our tour at Houmt Souk, the bustling commercial heart of Djerba. Here, you'll explore the old inns known as caravanserai and delve into the vibrant market scene. After some free time, we recommend visiting the fish market with its lively auctions, the covered souk, or the historical foundouks. This is a perfect spot to pick up some genuine souvenirs!
Finally, we will return you to your hotel after an enriching 5-hour exploration of Djerba.
