Djerba in Tunisia TUNISIE tunisia. djerba Informations and links Djerba95 000 hab. Map Djerba Photos Djerba ------------------------------- Djerba [1] (also transliterated as Jerba, Jarbah or Girba) is the largest island off Northern Africa, located in the Gulf of Gabes off the coast of Tunisia. The climate is mild and the soil well cultivated. Its largest city is Houmt-Souk, with a population of around 20,000. Djerba is a popular tourist destination, particularly for French, German, and Italian tourists. It is one of the few remaining places in Tunisia where a Berber language is still spoken. Another factor drawing some tourists to Djerba is the 1977 location of the Mos Eisley exterior scenes in the first Star Wars movie. The island is noted as a center of the Islamic sect al-Ibadhiyah and is also noted for its Jewish minority, which has dwelled on the island for centuries, although populations have declined due to emigration to Israel and France since the mid-20th century. The El Ghriba synagogue is one of the oldest and most famous in the world. In the early 20th century the island of Djerba had a population of forty thousand, several hundreds of whom were Maltese Catholics earning a livelihood as sponge-fishers. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Following independence from France in 1956, President Habib BOURGUIBA established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation. In recent years, Tunisia has taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations. Domestically, it has sought to defuse rising pressure for a more open political society..
