What you can expect

Your day trip begins with a visit to the majestic Fort Ghazi Mustapha, one of the most iconic historic monuments on the island. Built by the sea, this impressive fortress bears witness to Djerba's rich past and the different civilisations that have shaped its history.
You will enjoy an interior tour of the fort to explore its ramparts, vaulted passages, and magnificent panoramas of the harbour and the Mediterranean.
Admission to Fort Ghazi Mustapha is included and covered by the activity provider. However, the tour of the fort is self-guided, as it is relatively short (around 15 minutes). The presence of a live guide inside the site is therefore not necessary. Informative brochures are available at the front desk in several languages to allow you to discover the history of the monument at your own pace.

The tour then continues to the Houmt Souk Marina, famous for its authentic atmosphere and its legendary colourful pirate boats that are part of the scenery of Djerba. Between the excursion boats and the bustle of the harbour, this stopover offers the perfect setting for taking stunning pictures

You'll then head to the historic centre of Houmt Souk to enjoy about an hour and a half of free time in the heart of the capital's traditional souks.
You can stroll freely among:
the lively shopping streets,
the traditional covered souq,
the artisan stalls,
the aromas of spices,
the local pottery, jewellery, and textile shops,
as well as the typical squares full of charm.

This break will also give you time to sit on the terrace of a cafe with a local atmosphere and observe Djerba life at the medina's peaceful pace.

Another option: discover the famous El Fondouk to enjoy a mint tea, an iconic place with incomparable architecture that combines oriental charm and traditional Tunisian heritage. A true institution in Houmt Souk, this unique place captivates with its authentic atmosphere, its magnificent patios, and its ideal setting for enjoying a delicious mint tea in a typical Djerba atmosphere.

A meeting point will be arranged by the live guide/driver at the start of the free time.

This day trip is ideal for travellers who want to discover:
the history of Djerba,
the authentic atmosphere of Houmt Souk,
the local traditions,
the island's must-see monuments,
and the unique charm of Tunisian souks.
