ROAM / Destinations / Djerba, Tunisia

Djerba
Tunisia

Djerba feels slower and softer than Tunis, with resort ease mixed with strong local identity. For Black travelers, it can feel more comfortable than larger capitals if you want a beach-forward trip, though island calm should not replace normal travel awareness.
