Surrounded by majestic chandeliers, handmade and traditional ceramic tiles; Tunisia was known as a center of ceramics before the Phoenician invasion around 1000 BCE. Indigenous peoples used local clays to form essential cooking vessels and for building. Two of the earliest ceramic centers for both pottery and tile were the ancient seaside city of Nabeul on the Cap Bon peninsula and the Jewish community on the Island of Jerba, where the oldest ceramic industry was established in 586 BCE.
Every morning, guests are greeted with a welcoming smile and a simple continental breakfast with a variety of fresh Viennoiseries and a delicious melon juice. The breakfast is served in the Piano Bar on the highest floor of the Hotel overlooking the Medina.

If you love walking, around the Medina for a cheap cup of coffee for 35cents, you would not regret it!

Djerbahood was a street art event in which artists from all over the world gathered in the village of Erriadh on the Tunisian island Djerba to create 250 mural paintings. The project was established by the Itinerrance de Paris gallery in June 2014.
Djerba
Djerba an island just off the coast of Tunisia is blessed with soft sandy beaches and clear turquoise sea. This particular beach stretches for 13km and almost feels like you own it as there barely is anyone there.
Souk means marketplace or commercial corner, Houmt Souk literally means The Market Neighbourhood it's a commune and the main town of the island of Djerba, Tunisia. A popular tourist destination, it is best known for its traditional souk and the Aghlabid fortress. It is located at approximately 20 km from Ajim and 22 km from El Kantara by the Roman road.
Located in Houmt Souk, the island’s main town which literally translates as “the market neighbourhood”, keen shoppers can easily spend half a day combing the market’s narrow halls and alleyways. Unlike Tunis’ grand souk, which has large areas devoted to what the locals need and want, Djerba’s market mainly caters to tourists who will find a concentrated amount of eye catching things. Compared to Tunis, Djerba’s souk is less overwhelming and less aggressive, and also cheaper.
Tozeur
Towns arising from the desert and pressed against vast palm groves, Tozeur surprises, fascinate and immerse visitors in a surreal landscape. The burning light of the Sahara pours into narrow streets of the old quarters, between the high façades and golden coloured bricks. In Tozeur, palaces, theme parks and museums have flourished around the old town. In Nefta, countless domes indicate the tombs of saints, overlooking the oasis which nestles in a basin called the Basket. The dunes of the Sahara are just a few kilometres away…
Chebika is, along with Tamerza and Midès, one of the three most famous mountain oasis in Tunisia. Its main attraction is a picturesque fountain, located at the bottom of an old Berber village, with small palm trees and a waterfall. It feeds a few underground streams and a network of underground channels that supply wells, through which fruit trees are grown in an otherwise completely barren territory.
An unforgettable experiences was crossing the desert in a 4x4 up and down dunes, with nothing else other than miles and miles of the famous Sahara Desert. We had Tunisian music blasting off the speakers of our ride, a beautiful view of a massive golden sea in front of us, and we were only a few kilometres away from the Algerian boarder! We almost had to pinch ourselves to realise that it was indeed a reality.
