After packing up in a concrete bunker in the centre of the complex I returned to my preferred cabin beside the beach. I’d previously gathered some firewood here and now set about making a coffee on a fireplace fashioned from a broken toilet bowl. I had a swim and watched as tourists rode by in single file; a horse version of the iconic Broome camel shot.
On pedalling out of this enormous, empty, and entirely open complex I noticed a small flickering screen in a cabin at the exit. Peeking in I was stunned to see a sleeping guard after all! Continuing back along the spit of land I passed by the resorts backing onto the beach. Sadly Djerba’s most famous beach - Sidi Mahres - seems only accessible through these hotel complexes.
I was heading west now and so no longer battling the wind. My first stop in Houmt Souk was the waterfront fort which i found to be closed on Fridays. In the small port I made inquiries about a boat north but it seems I must return the long way around along the mainland. In Houmt Souk’s souq I quickly but belatedly realised this wasn’t a town to just be breezed through so looked for a bed in the souq’s Auberge. At 8 dinar it’s no wonder they were fully booked, but they showed me to the town’s Maison de Jeunese where I got a very fancy room with aircon, wifi, and fridge for 3 times the price; still only about €6!
When things cooled down I re-emerged to explore the souq some more, replacing my broken flip flops at one of the many leather goods stalls, before watching nighttime fall from a busy cafe with a citronnade.

I visited Djerba in 2022. It's a lovely island with a nice people and many beautiful places worth visiting ❤
Completely agree! Wished I’d allowed longer here 🥲
*I went to Tunisia in the summer of 2022 and I can confirm that this country Tunisia is one of the best countries in the world 😍 I love the weather there 🌞 with the food 🍝 (I like spicy food) and the beach 🌊 this summer I will return to Tunisia 💖*
Yes it is a marvellous little country 😍🇹🇳
It looks like a place worthy of two or three days of "rest and recuperation."
Indeed. Sadly the clock is ticking on my 90 days in tunisia 😣
Good ❤
Thanks! ☺️
I watched your video after my workout and when you jumped into the water, I thought that would’ve been amazing right about now. Lol what a beautiful spot you’re in right now..❤️👙👒🏝️
Heavenly! And I was lucky here that with nobody about I could swim in a bikini. Wading in fully clothed just isn’t as refreshing, not to mention having to deal with a set of salty clothes afterwards 😒
My appetite is such that I move from the capital to live in charming Djerba for the rest of my life.
Excellent choice! 🏝️🌴😎
