Djerba - largest island off North Africa

Djerba hosts some paradoxes. It' a fairly big island, just off the North African coast, which has almost no islands.

Djerba is not only appreciated for it' architecture, made up of square whitewashed houses all over the island. The whole island is like a little world of its own, so compressed that lazy traveller' can cover most of it. Yet, there is enough here to make globe-trotters have a great time here for a good fortnight. The topography of Djerba is simple, and there are some kilometres between each village, each telling its own story Djerba is smooth, sometimes startling, and just as charming as enthusiastic Tunisians tell you it is.

On the island of Djerba, there are many villages, but almost no towns. The only real town is the beautiful Houmt Souq, while the second town, Midoun, is less exciting. Many travellers arriving at Jerba pass through the village of Ajim, but more picturesque is the little visited Guellala.
