i'm thinking of visiting ile de jerba towards the end of dec. or early jan. would it be a good time to go? heard it might be rainy and cold...anyone been there around that time?
I was there last year for 2 days 23rd and 24th December. It was tee shirt weather during the day, rained one night, really bad for about 2 hours with really strong winds, next day was warm from about 11am when the clouds had cleared. Previous year about the same time, again warm, don't remember any rain then. It is really "luck of the draw" but last year was about 18 C.
Just remembered, we ate lunch outside both years on the days that we were there.
Hi how are you?
Well I agree that it is a big question of luck, it can be kinda warm but most likely you are going to see rain, wind and a cold wheather but who knows with the global warming this december might be the last year's october.
Have fun and enjoy your trip!
You can buy this map for 1 Dinar in practically any shopping area on the island, but I've included it here as well for anyone considering a vacation on Djerba. One side has the tourist zone, and the other has an overall map of the island (and I made that the inset).
You maybe can't read it on VT, but if you copy the image and then zoom in with your own photo viewer, you can probably make out the names of the hotels.
Shisha is smoked on a social basis, usually in one's home with guests or in a cafe with friends. Most cities have shisha cafes where hookah is offered with a non-alcoholic drink (mainly tea). This is mostly for health reasons rather than cultural reasons. Often people will smoke hookah after dinner as a replacement for cigarettes.
Expect to pay 2-5 dinar
Horseriding is very popular in Djerba, especially among the tourists. There are several riding schools in the Zone Touristique of Djerba for those who are inexperied. I've quit of trying to ride the horse after one very experied guy from Slovenia had pretty bad accident. Actually, I saw a nasty wound on his left underknee and that stopped my temptation.
But the market is also a place for socializing and a lot of gossip takes place between regular merchants and customers. These two guys, sit by the side of a bunch of dry hot chilies, seem to have a very good time, don't they !
The Museum displays various scenes of traditional life through waxwork figures.
It was opened in 2001 and is really worth visiting.
Musée Guellala is historically interesting, especially for children, to see how things were done long, long ago. Several of the pavilions have live demonstrations including a traditional olive oil press using a camel.
There is also a gallery where you can buy really beautiful paintings. You can even get your name written in arabic handwriting.The museum is set in a beautiful garden on the hill. From the minaret you can admire beautiful view of the Guellala village.
