Djerba, Mediterranean island in Gulf of Gabes, Tunisia
The largest island in North Africa extends over 514 square kilometers, connected to mainland Tunisia through a six-kilometer road across the sea.
The island changed rulers multiple times, from Romans to Arabs in 655, followed by Sicilian, Norman, and Ottoman control until French administration in the 1880s.
The El Ghriba synagogue stands as the center of one of North Africa's oldest Jewish communities, dating back more than 2,500 years.
The Djerba-Zarzis International Airport receives direct flights from European cities, while ferries connect the island to the mainland through the Roman road.
The inhabitants maintain traditional pottery workshops where artisans create vessels and decorative items using methods passed down through generations.
