Djerba-Afous: a real estate and touristic project in Tunisia
As Homer recounted it: Ulysses and his men arrived in the Land of the Lotus Eaters. Ulysses nearly never left, as most of his sailors had given way to the enchantment of the island and its “honey fruit” and refused to follow him.
It is here in Djerba that the Djerba-Afous development has taken foot: the island has preserved all the superb, serene atmosphere described by the poet. Reflecting the welcoming ways of the inhabitants of Djerba, “Afous” means “hand” in Tamazight (Berber). An open hand, the universal symbol of promise, hospitality, friendship and harmony.
The air is so mellow that it keeps one from dying.
Gustave Flaubert
The most unique place in Tunisia
An incomparable climate reigns over the island stretching 514 km². Since time immemorial, visitors never cease to be awed and enchanted by its exceptional mildness, to such an extent that Grévin described it as a “fifth season”. Flaubert added that “the air is so mellow that it keeps one from dying”!
