Shopping in Djerba

Souk means market in Arabic, and you should definitely visit one of them in Houmt Souk — the island’s capital. Everything between heaven and earth is sold here. The villages boast a vibrant community of local craftsmen, showcasing their expertise through the creation of unique and authentic handcrafted items, such as pottery, ceramics, carpets, baskets, and leather goods, among others. The richness of olive wood is shown to good effect on the carved bowls, kitchen utensils and even jewellery items.
