Car Hire Djerba Mini Guide

Djerba is a small island by Mediterranean standards but still the largest off the North African coast. It’s located near the southern coast of Tunisia which is easily accessed by ferry from the main town and port of Houmt Souk. In the summer the island is dry and arid but when the winter rains water the land, the spring growth turns the island into a jewel, all making it a fabulous place to explore with a rental car. 

Getting to Djerba
Djerba-Zarzis Airport takes many scheduled flights from European airports, mostly from airports in the south of France and Spain whilst the large amount of tourism means that charter flights are regular and inexpensive in the peak season. The island is small enough to get to all of the resorts quickly and cheaply from the airport. An alternative is to fly into Tunis Airport and catch the ferry to Houmt Souk.
