"Hara Sghira", "the little ghetto": this is how Erriadh was once named. The term " hara" represented the neighborhoods populated by the Jewish community, which came to Tunisia in the first century after the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus. In Djerba, this community was concentrated in two main places: the "Hara Sghira", close to the synagogue of Ghriba, one of the first Judaic holy places in North Africa, and the "Hara Kébira", the "big ghetto", just next to Houmt Souk.While the Jewish community was significantly reduced at the time of the creation of the State of Israel and in the 1960s, both villages are now predominantly populated by Muslims. The two communities live together in mutual respect. The term "Erriadh" means "calm" in Arabic. To say: the small village seduces by its peaceful atmosphere, its authenticity and the kindness of its inhabitants.Surprising and unusual, the district of Djerbahood has invested the walls of houses in the village from the summer of 2014. An open-air street art museum, shaped in the image of 150 international artists. Intriguing, exciting, the place will not leave anyone indifferent.The village is located in the center of the island, 15 minutes from the international airport and 7 km from Houmt Souk. Market on Sunday.
