Jerba (or Djerba) is an island three miles off the southernmost coast of Tunisia and is one of Tunisia's most popular tourist spots. It is linked to the mainland by a bridge that was originally built as a causeway by the Roman empire.
Once on the island, you find that sandy beaches surround fertile fruit orchards, vegetable gardens and olive tree groves. Jerba is considered to be a Maritim Oasis.
The Island is home to historical Muslim mosques as well as Jewish temples such as El Ghriba, a synagogue that attracts visitors from all over the world.
There is a large tourist zone along the beaches. Twenty kilometers of hotel developments monopolize much of the beach area along the northeastern side of the island.
