To reach Djerba, most visitors fly into Djerba–Zarzis International Airport, which has regular connections from Tunis and some European cities. Affordable domestic flights can be found, and budget digital nomads often opt for these. Alternatively, long-distance buses and shared taxis run from Tunis and other Tunisian cities to Djerba, with a causeway linking the island to the mainland for easy road access.
For a scenic route, you can take a ferry from Jorf on the mainland to Ajim on Djerba. From mid to late September, the weather is usually warm and sunny, with little risk of travel delays, making all routes viable. Public transport and Wi-Fi-equipped cafés suit working travelers on the go.
Djerba enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The island sees abundant sunshine year-round, making it ideal for beachgoers and outdoor adventures. Summer temperatures (June to September) often reach 30–35°C (86–95°F), while winters are pleasant, rarely dropping below 10°C (50°F).
From September 19 to September 26, Djerba typically experiences warm days with lower humidity and cooler evenings. Daytime highs range from 27–30°C (80–86°F), and rain is possible but usually brief and light. Extreme weather, such as storms or heavy rains, is rare during this period, so you can expect great conditions for festivals, sightseeing, and nightlife.
Djerba’s cuisine is a delicious blend of seafood, spices, couscous, brik (crispy stuffed pastry), and traditional Ojja (eggs with spiced tomatoes and peppers). Mint tea is a must-try, often enjoyed in relaxed cafés. For affordable, authentic meals, check out Restaurant Chez Ali or El Fondouk, both popular with locals and expats.
Digital nomads will find WiFi-friendly cafés like Café Ben Yedder or Lella Hadhria, great for working while sampling pastries or fresh seafood. Alcohol is available mostly at larger hotels or specialized bars, so check before visiting. Tipping is customary—aim for around 10% of the bill.
Vegetarians should specify dietary needs, as many dishes feature meat or seafood. During Ramadan, some restaurants may have limited hours, but beachfront spots usually remain open for tourists.

For a digital nomad on an average budget, Djerba offers a variety of accommodations. Mid-range hotels and charming resorts are clustered around Sidi Mahrez beach and Houmt Souk, the bustling island capital. Popular options include Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa for comfort, Hotel Dar Dhiafa for boutique vibes, and Résidence Chahd for apartment-style stays.
If you prefer a homestay or villa, Airbnb and Booking.com list locally owned villas and guesthouses—ideal for longer stays and reliable Wi-Fi. September is still in Djerba’s shoulder season, so prices are reasonable and availability is good, but book early as the European holiday season can affect demand. Look for properties with dedicated workspaces and proximity to cafés.
Settle into Djerba and get an introduction to the island's vibrant atmosphere, discovering its mix of tradition and modern comforts.
Begin your Djerba adventure by exploring the vibrant Medina of Houmt Souk. Meander through winding alleys filled with artisan shops, colorful textiles, and lively local life—a perfect way to acclimate and discover Djerba’s rich blend of old and new.
Relax at a classic Tunisian café in the heart of Houmt Souk. Sip locally brewed coffee or mint tea, watch the world go by, and connect with locals or fellow travelers. This is a great spot to get a feel for Djerba’s laid-back island lifestyle.
Take an early evening stroll by the historic Djerba port to watch fishing boats return and catch the sunset. The port area offers lively scenes and a taste of local maritime traditions that have shaped the island’s culture.
