The Hara Seghira Synagogue or Yeshiva Dighet is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation, synagogue, and yeshiva, located on Moktar Attia Street, just north of Place L’Independence, in the town of Er Riadh on the island of Djerba, Tunisia. The synagogue and yeshiva ceased to operate in the 1970s.

A collection of street art by international artists scattered around the laneways of Hara Sghira. Nothing partiularly Earth-shattering but a fun Instagram opportunity nonetheless.

Called the Flamingo or Pirates Island, this is a peninsula where flamingoes are present during the colder months starting in October. Ship cruises costing 20 DT per person for walk-ons (and about 40-45 DT per person for the hotel groups) are available at the Houmt Souk marina/port. The crews are energetic, passionate, and fun and the buffet lunch on the peninsula is wonderful. The package runs around 9AM to 3:30PM. There is loud dancing music on the boat, but the water is delightful and the trip is worth the price even for non-dancers.
Hosts the biggest Mediterranean crocodile farm (over 400 creatures imported from the Nile River since 1992) and the impressive Lalla Hadhria Museum, as well as an interesting interactive traditional village in the back. 12 DT per person includes entrance to all three sections.
