Djerba Island Essentials

Djerba Island features a blend of religious and cinematic history. The 14th-century Fadhloun Mosque and the ancient El Ghriba Synagogue represent the island's diverse spiritual heritage. In Ajim, specific structures served as filming locations for the original Star Wars trilogy, including the Mos Eisley cantina. The island’s natural landscape includes the flamingo sanctuary at Ras Rmel and the 15th-century ruins of Borj El Kastil. Traditional crafts are showcased through the pottery of Guellala and the Mediterranean’s largest crocodile farm.
