FSDG Djerba v2

INTRODUCTION

The island of Djerba, located in the Gulf of Gabes off the coast of Tunisia, is not only the largest island of

North Africa but also a popular destination for tourists, scuba divers and water sports enthusiasts. With just

over 500 square kilometers in size, tourists have a short travel from the airport to their hotel after landing

at the only airport of the island, Djerba-Zarzis. Now that the political situation in Tunisia has calmed down

after the Arab Spring, it is about time to pay this wonderful holiday destination a visit. With this add-on you

can finally fly to Djerba, so fasten your seat belts, bring your seat back in an upright position and enjoy the

flight!

DJERBA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Djerba might not be as well-known as other tourist destinations in the Mediterranean like Mallorca, Cyprus

or Crete, but it certainly is a favorite destination for water enthusiasts as well as sunbathers, who visit the

island by ship or by aircraft. As the number of visitors more and more increased over the last two decades,

the airport of Djerba Zarzis rose from a small regional airport to a tourist destination, it became inevitable

to expand the terminal and add more gates in order to handle airliners arriving from all across Europe and

the Mediterranean. You can still see the traces of the old, smaller airport if you look at the apron surfaces,

the lines or the runway. Today, Djerba-Zarzis handles more than 2,5 million passengers a year and is a

regular destination for Air Berlin, Thomas Cook, Transavia, Tunisair and several other carriers. Unlike some

recently built mega airports in Africa or the Middle East, Zarzis gives its visitors the instantaneous feeling of

being in Africa. The typical architecture, Arabic letters, the solar panels and domes on flat roofs, palms and

rusty fences, in short the “African spirit” is perceptible everywhere.
