    Guellala

    In the heart of the island, Guellala stands out as the traditional capital of Djerbian pottery, an activity dating back thousands of years. Local clays, rich and varied, have been exploited since ancient times to shape massive containers – jealous of olive oil, cereals, or water. The workshops, often semi-buried, reveal ancestral gestures: manual turning, natural drying, and slow cooking in palm-fed kilns. The village is also home to an ethnographic museum featuring crafts, traditional life and iconic pieces, including the legendary “magic camel” and monumental jars. Between yesterday and today, Guellala lives to the rhythm of ancestral know-how, offering visitors a vibrant immersion in an authentic and living heritage.

    El Ghriba Synagogue

    The sacred jewel of Jerba, the El Ghriba Synagogue, is a true time capsule: the oldest in Africa, built according to tradition around a stone or a remnant of Solomon’s Temple, and amplified in the 19th and 20th centuries. Nestled near Er Riadh, it attracts pilgrims every year during Lag Ba’Omer, testifying to a thousand-year coexistence between Muslim and Jewish communities. With its elegant Moorish architecture, rich earthenware interior and atmosphere of contemplation, El Ghriba offers visitors a unique moment of immersion in the religious history and spirituality of the island, while embodying the resilience of a living heritage
