Djerba by bike

Djerba is flat and compact. A cycling plan drawn up with German cooperation (GIZ) identifies eight routes, about 120 km in all, with two main axes: Houmt Souk to Ajim and Midoun to El May.

History

The routes link villages, fields and the coast of an island listed by UNESCO in 2023.

Customs

Start early in summer, the midday sun is strong and there is little shade.

Food

Stop in Houmt Souk for grilled fish or a rice djerbien.

Best time

March to May and October to November.

The plan was prepared after three months of workshops with the municipalities of Houmt Souk, Midoun and Ajim.
