Travel Guide Borj Jillidj

Although one does not often come to Djerba to isolate oneself, it is possible on the western part of the coast. Take the track that leaves Ajim along the sea in the direction of Borj Jillidj. The hike is about twenty kilometers long, and you will not fail to find a deserted cove, a mound for a view on the coast or for a nice picture. At the northwestern tip of the island, near the airport, there is a Turkish fort, a testimony to the 16th century occupation and the defensive needs of the invader. Today, a lighthouse warns sailors of the danger of the coastal reefs.
