Djerba (/ˈdʒɜːrbə, ˈdʒɛərbə/; Arabic: جربة‎, romanized: Jirba IPA: [ˈʒɪrbæ] (About this soundlisten)), Italian: Meninge or Girba, also transliterated as Jerba[1] or Jarbah,[2] is, at 514 square kilometers (198 sq mi), is a Tunisian island and the largest island of North Africa, located in the Gulf of Gabès,[1] off the coast of Tunisia. It had a population of 139,544 at the 2004 Census which rose to 163,726 at the 2014 Census. Citing the long and unique Jewish minority's history Djerba has had in the past, Tunisia has sought UNESCO World Heritage status protections for the island.[3]

Djerba is 25 km long and 22 km wide, with a 514-km2 area. It has a 125 km coastline. Because of the influence of a moderate sea, the climate is very mild. Djerba has a population of about 80,000. It is largely of Berber origin and Muslim with a small Kharegite minority. The Jewish community, which is very small today, was well-established on the island, well before the Arabs, and probably for more than twenty or twenty-five centuries. Apart from the county town of Houmt Souk, the rest of the island consists of small villages with scattered housing: Sedghiane, Midoun, Sedouikech, Guellala, Agim... Arboriculture is practiced here: palm, olive, vine trees, fig, apple, almond, apricot, orange and pomegranate. The island also produces vegetables and cereals. The surroundings of the island are favorable to fishing. The main handicrafts are weaving and pottery. The Souks In the heart of the medina, the souks are a network of small shop-lined narrow alleys. The souks are always lively. Here you can find cloth, carpets, utensils and jewelry. The jewellers’ souk reflects the island’s prosperity. Handicraft shops are numerous, for instance, weavers and blacksmiths..
