TRAVEL - Photo impression Djerba in Tunesia

Hello everyone, today a photographic impression of an holidays to Djerba, Tunisia peninsula. Unfortunately the last few years the Arab countries are put in a negative atmosphere through all those awful attacks and bombing. I was once on holiday and once it was nice as a tourist to stay. The drive to the desert and of course the night in the desert was nice. The silence you experience when you watch in the evening or in the morning peering at sunrise over the plain. What a silence and I have experienced as very laid back !
Tour on a camel

First the weather was awfully nice when we got there in September. Beautiful tropical weather and the cool gentle breeze was a welcome guest. Every day by the pool and fully equipped to go home was the target. Goal achieved naturally. We were in an all inclusive hotel so breakfast each day in the dining room, lunch and dinner. I love food and it was a paradise to me.



There was a large fitness center where I did my exercises every day





The terrace of the restaurant

As in every resort there was a Kontiki bar

The hotel rooms. We had a room on the groundfloor.

Safari Tour


And of course we had to act and play like a tourist and ordered an touristic company to bring us with a jeep like a tourist for travelling along salt lakes, original old villages where they baking bread in a clay pot, a village where they made the film Starwars and end of the journey overnight stay at bedoidentent . Scarry it was because they immediately started talking about scorpions so I didn't sleep the whole night.

I called her grandma. She wanted money for the picture and we gave her a lot

In addition to the tour on the camel you could also go with this guy

How nice is the sunriserout...Real Arabs in black robes whom looked at you with real green eyes ... it was scary 

Our sleeping tent . Very big one with 2 single beds and a carpet so you do not come with your feet in the sand

The bedoeiden camp. Very modern with swimming pool and restaurant and nice tourist shops

Desert .... I 'm in love . Especially the silence was a delight.

Campement Mehari .... don' t ask me where this oasis is

Djerba city


On the last day we visited the center of Djerba. Very small with only a few shops and restaurants. Nothing special and really not very touristy ... at least ... that I liked.








There are too many pictures to post but we had also visited a museum where the traditional Tunisian life was exhibited . Of course I can writing to you to go by yourself to tunisia but I think it is currently too dangerous because of the terrorist attacks perpetrated there. I don't like the people there because the men treated the women not so nice, they were very rude but not the hotel staff they where very helpful and friendly. Outside the resort it wasn' t a friendly atmosphere. Sadly and unfortunately, because in itself it is a beautiful island. Very dry but what do you expect from a north -African country which is quite under the influence of the desert.

Have you also been to Tunisia ? Let me know where you've been and tell me what you liked of the country and the people.

Regards Paula
