Djerba Local History

Djerba has had a similar history to Tunisia in general as it has certainly been popular with the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandels, Byzantines, Arabs, Norman, Italians, French and the Spanish. In between a few pirates dropped by. At least the latest invaders give something back with tourism being the main industry.
