There is a whole myriad of pottery, and it is not being attacked as is sometimes the case in Tunisia, and it is so pleasant. If you don't find your happiness, go to the Guellala Petit.

For nearly 60 years, Mohamed Khacha has been practicing basketry! He learned from his father and passes on his technique to his children. He invites us into his mat workshop, where he makes and sells 100% natural items (baskets, hats, mats, placemats...) made from palm, rush, halfa. His dexterity will surprise you during a demonstration that he will not fail to make you. The work is of great quality, in the respect of a tradition that few craftsmen still practice. Cherry on the cake: the welcome is very warm!

He put his brushes and his bridge here, in the small village of Erriadh, between his feet of tomatoes and his olive tree, he realizes masterpieces that full of imagination and technical prowess, some of which he has exclusive to be the creator. He knows how to create emotion through the landforms and colours that flood light and beauty. Its themes range from desert to the African savannah, from galaxies to the most common beings. A trip you can undertake since he invites you to come home in his house which is also his workshop, his space to present his collections, the prices are very honest if one considers the work, talent and character of Krystian. The artist also rents a small charming house built just opposite his studio in the heart of the garden, it is decorated with its image, a magical place. Please note that the charming house Dar Dishwater presents his works in the rooms. Coup de coeur.

Carpets, kilim, margoum, fouta, fabrics, blankets and sofa throws: you will find in this store everything that is woven in Djerba. Here, we work with local weavers and craftswomen. Unfortunately, this art is being lost more and more on the island, and most of the local productions you will see on display are a few years old. Some craftswomen continue to produce, but in a more modest way and in their homes. This address, located in front of the Catholic church, is a good choice to get a nice carpet.

In the heart of the jewelry souk and for decades, Youssif Gamoun has been working on antique pieces, in gold and silver. A large part of his collections come from family heirlooms that he reassembles and restores, like this silver tiara set with precious stones that he presented to us with shining eyes on the day we visited. A real Ali Baba's cave which is worth the trip, if only for the pleasure of the eyes!
