Djerba is a low-lying island off the south-eastern coast of Tunisia, in the Gulf of Gabes - the country's most famous island resort and a place of long, sandy Mediterranean beaches, whitewashed villages and deep multicultural history. Its main town, Houmt Souk, is a lively market centre with handicraft souks, a fishing port and the 16th-century Borj el Kebir fortress, while the island is also home to the El Ghriba synagogue, one of the oldest in the world and a site of Jewish pilgrimage. Djerba draws sun-seekers to its beach resorts along the eastern shore, and film buffs for its Star Wars filming locations, which stood in for Tatooine. Traditional pottery at Guellala, palm groves and a distinctive island culture round out the appeal. The Mediterranean climate makes spring and autumn ideal, with hot summers the peak beach season.
