In Djerba, craftsmanship is a living heritage, passed down through generations. During your stay at Hôtel Mizwar, take time to explore the island’s artisanal treasures.
Begin with Guellala, the pottery capital of Djerba. Watch as local artisans shape clay into traditional jars, plates, and decorative items with Berber-inspired patterns. For a hands-on experience, join a pottery workshop and try your hand at it.
In Houmt Souk, stroll through the alleyways where weavers craft foutas, kilim rugs, and handmade chechias in vibrant colors. You’ll also find traditional silversmiths, creating Berber and Andalusian-style jewelry using coral and silver.
Bringing home a handcrafted item means taking a piece of Djerba with you — authentic, ethical, and full of soul. And by buying local, you help preserve the island’s cultural and economic heritage.
